Johnny Strong (Black Hawk Down, Sinners and Saints) plays uberhero Rourke from New York who finds himself down in Texas in a post- apocalyptic zombie infested wild west. Roaming the desert highways in a big block V8 1970 Plymouth Road Runner - Mad Maxed out - Rourke rescues the damsel in distress (Texas Style of course) and joins a group of survivors. Zombie hunting ensues with epic gun action. Surprisingly engaging for a Sunday afternoon action flick.

... View MoreDaylight's End directed by William Kaufman is a very fun horror action packed movie , it has all the thing a horror action need a likable lead role by Johnny Strong who i think need to be in more action movie and to mainstream audience.Seriously this guy is a perfect 90s action movie.The plot of this movie is simple apocalypse world when a creature part zombie part vampire running around eating people and a group of survival lead by the legendary Lance Henriksen.If you familiar with Kaufman movie you know it will contain good shoot out scene , bad ass one liner and a ridiculously high body count.For a low budget movie this is the best you can get
... View MoreI have to ponder how this got so many good reviews. Are all of the reviewers from Texas, where this was filmed? I watched it the other night on Starz and was bored virtually from the beginning. This is just another movie where they couldn't make up their mind to make a zombie movie or a vampire movie, so they made the creatures (just dirty faced people who can be spotted more than once - blame that on budget and lack of decent make up, the SFX are pretty sparse too, for 2 million they didn't really get their money's worth) a cross between the two. Sunlight and bullets will kill them. The story is kind of silly. One guy is hunting the Vombie Alpha who killed his wife and kid. He's made it - On his own - from the Bronx down to Texas. He never seems to run out of ammo and every shot is pretty much deadly. He saves a woman (who is a pretty bad actress and judging from her character, shouldn't have been with the two cops she pretty much gets killed) by killing about 7 ravagers, none of whom seem to be able to hide before being shot. They save a woman who's nuts. She's trying to breast feed a doll (which is a decent idea but how has she survived?) Few if any of the people in this have any survival instincts at all. Supposedly an unknown plague caused this. So where is the LAST place one wants to stay when a plague erupts? A city. Anyhow, the story is kind of dull and familiar. The main character, a loner ala Mad Max, has one expression and can barely act, but since he produced it, gets to be the star. I don't know how they got Lance Henriksen to be in this, but he's the best and worst part of it. His acting is fine, but his character is dumb as a rock. Vampires have to sleep in the day, yet some of these are always awake. I don't want to give away anymore, but if I knew where a whole nest of Vombies was hiding out, I'd either A) get the hell out of dodge. or B) Burn that place to the ground. Well a lot of folks liked it, but I'm not one of them. I imagine this movie (quite PG rated really) will show up as another lameoid on the SyFy channel pretty soon. P.S. The Poster makes this film look way better than it is.
