The Underrated and misunderstood bruce Campbell does it again and with an excellent cast including david carradine. Has a great story a great slapstick script and was executed well. Its campy and low budget but it's a must see for any comedy buffy. Heard this bombed while earth girls are easy boomed but sorry this us a much better movie. So sit back with a big bowl of extra buttered popcorn and enjoy a good laugh!! Oh and a little western horror thrown in.

Anthony Hickox's second film and much in the same vein as his first in WAXWORK. A nice blending of horror and comedy. This time there is a third genre added in a western.

A group of vampires lead by Jozek Mardulak (David Carradine) are living in the desert in their own community of Purgatory. Here, they are working on creating a synthetic mixture that will act as human blood so they can stop taking human lives. The Harrison family lead by father David (Jim Metzler, who looks like he could be Eric Stolz's dad) and mother Sarah (Morgan Brittany) visit Purgatory so that David can assist in the creation of the mixture. Of course things are never easy in the movies and we are introduced to some good characters like a descendant of the Van Helsings (Bruce Campbell) and Ethan Jefferson (John Ireland) a fellow vampire who wants to start a revolt against this new way of life for the vampires.

A great and super capable cast that also includes Maxwell Caulfield, Deborah Foreman, M. Emmett Walsh and Dana Ashbrook to name a few. Also includes some new and interesting twists to the vampire legend with a great score from Richard Stone that really adds to the viewing of the film.

All isn't well in the remote desert town of Purgatory. The place is populated by vampires. One bunch led by the charming, courtly Count Margulak (a splendidly suave and dignified portrayal by David Carradine) want to switch to synthetic blood and live peacefully with humans while a rival evil faction led by the wicked Ethan Jefferson (a marvelously ruthless John Ireland) and smooth heel Shane (essayed with gleefully nasty brio by Maxwell Caulfield) wish to retain the old ways of preying on normal people for food. Things inevitably culminate in a fierce pitched war between the opposing groups with the human Harrison family caught in the middle. Director Anthony Hickox, who also co-wrote the witty and ingenious script with John Burgess, deftly blends horror, comedy, and Western elements into a fresh, funny and hugely enjoyable handy dandy multi-genre combo special. Moreover, Hickox relates the absorbing story at a leisurely, yet steady pace, further spices things up with a deliciously deadpan sense of pitch-black humor, comes through with several suitably juicy moments of gore (an impalement on an umbrella rates as the definite amusingly twisted splatter highlight),and stages the last reel action with considerable rip-roaring aplomb. The uniformly bang-up cast have a ball with their meaty roles: Carradine and Ireland make for terrific adversaries, Bruce Campbell contributes a hilarious comic turn as the bumbling Robert Van Helsing, the ever-lovely Deborah Foreman is a sexy hoot as fetching, lonely bloodsucker babe Sandy White, plus there's fine turns by Morgan Brittany as the sweet, attractive Sarah Harrison, Jim Metzler as wimpy nice guy David Harrison, M. Emmet Walsh as hot-tempered old-timer Mort Bisby, Bert Remsen as the cranky Milt Bisby, and George "Buck" Flower as the crusty Bailey. The crisp widescreen cinematography by Levie Isaaks gives the picture an appropriately dusty look while Richard Stone's robust, rousing full-bore orchestral score hits a thrilling bull's eye. A total blast.
