| Film ThreatMike WattA wickedly funny take on the vampire genre. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawA fitfully, self-consciously entertaining ode to Pulp Fiction. |
| User ReviewAdam MI found this rare gem in a box set of pretty horrid vampire movies. How it got to be there, I don't know... but I'm thankful for it. "Strange Things Happen at Sundown" is probably the smartest and honestly funniest vampire horror/comedy movies to date. You can tell they didn't have a huge budget, but what they did with it was a lot. The story was pretty original, and tweaks the vampire mythos a bit to bring some new stuff to the genre. The characters are likable, despite their evil vampire gnawing. The balance between the gore and humour is pretty good, though there is one scene that needlessly showed gore. The pace of the story is strong- which is especially important since it's two hours. And the camera work was better than some of the stuff you see in mainstream movies- not complicated, but visually interesting and innovative. Over all, for movies that have fun with the horror genre, this movie ranks up there with "Shaun of the Dead". |

| User ReviewCasey TAre you kidding? This is amazing! Low budget movie about Italian mafia vampires and a grim reaper who is in an abusive relationship. Top notch! |
| User ReviewJonathan HMy high rating may appear unreasonable, but with very little money the director manages to subtly display production skills that far more prolific directors have failed to grasp. Marc Fratto could produce some incomparably brilliant work with a genuine budget, and I hope he gets the chance. If you enjoyed this movie, don't miss 'Zombies Anonymous' (2007), also by Mr. Fratto, which shows more refinement in his techniques. |
| User ReviewJohn TPretty lame, but I did love this one. Fighting vamps to survive. |
| User ReviewJames TI like my low budget horror; there is a point where a film is so bad it becomes good. Unfortunately Strange Things is just the wrong side of that point. This is only a film for the truly hardcore connoisseurs of bad horror. |
