Plot Summary:
Stephen and Ian are ruthless drug lords who are in the middle of a war with their rival Billy Rae Douglas. One night Stephen and Ian escort two girls home with them whom actually seem to be stranger than they are. The next morning they wake up and the girls are gone and Stephen and Ian are not feeling so well and soon find out their lives have been changed forever. They find out that the girls were actually Angels that infected them with a vampire type virus. In exchange for immortality, Stephen and Ian along with the other hordes of Vampires, are to kill off the human race so that the Angels can take back what should have been theirs. The Vampires begin their slaughter until the Demon world steps in to put an end to the Angels plans, for the Demons are satisfied with the way the three worlds co-exists.

What exactly is so impossible to understand about At Dawn They Sleep?It's not that incoherent, and the editing is not that terrible. Wannaknow what I think? I think you people have been so completelybrain-washed by the dazzling special effects of The Transformers, andthe sweet-natured tomfoolery of The High School Musical trilogy, thatyou couldn't possibly tell what makes sense and what doesn't. So, nexttime you try out some independent art, and decide to not pay attention,keep your simple-minded, Mainstream-loving opinions to yourselves.Did I just call a Brian Paulin movie "art"? Wow, I've been watchingthese movies for far too long. Nonetheless, At Dawn They Sleep is atotally underrated, ambitious, shot-on-video, apocalyptic gore-festabout two drug dealers who are unknowingly transformed into Vampires bya couple of Angels, in an attempt to wipe out the Human race so thatthe Angels can have Earth all to themselves. How these two new Vampiresare supposed to take out the entire world is beyond me, but just gowith it, I guess. Assuming the undead drug dealers are at all capableof the task at hand, the Demon world now has a thing or two to sayabout the situation, yet, their role in this isn't what you mightexpect.How bout it? Spiteful Angels plotting on Humans? Helpful Demonsoffering their demonic support. A bit blasphemous, in deed, but I justcan't deny quality horror when I see it. All kidding aside, BrianPaulin has a gift, and this day in age, underground film-making, donethe right way, isn't as easy to come by as it once was, although,things still aren't quite as bad as they were in the 90's. With thatsaid, At Dawn They Sleep kinda reminds me of a shot-on-video horrormovie from the early 90's, called Shatter Dead, although, At Dawn TheySleep is obviously much more professional, as well as entertaining andaction-packed, not to mention, interesting. The idea of Angelssabotaging Humans out of jealousy , because they feel God has favoredus over them, is quite intriguing. If you don't hate low-budget horrorwith absolutely no socially redeeming values, and doesn't follow "thesafe pattern", then you've found a new addition to your collection.This is real horror for real horror fans. 8/10
I have full respect for independent film making but I have to draw theline somewhere. I expect at least an attempt to make the filmunderstandable and be able to follow the plot and actionsimultaneously. I had seen Bone Sickness and actually did like thatfilm so I gave this one a shot (Both are by Brian Paulin/MorbidVisions). Boy that was a mistake. The editing was almost nonexistentand done so badly I couldn't even follow the storyline due to all thegaps in the plotting. Events would just happen by a couple of framesand we're left wondering just how the heck it jumped from point A topoint B so fast. The acting is okay and they make an attempt at visualsto further the story but they just failed miserably on so many levels.I gave it a 2 for the effort at least.
I am not ashamed to admit this. I had no idea what was going on forhalf of this movie. It is one of the most incoherent, confusing thingsi've ever seen in my life. (I am not saying worst horror movie ever,because that award still goes to "The Maize: The Movie".) Which is sad,because if you look at the general plot of this movie, it actuallysounds pretty cool. if it had some better.....well everything, thiscould have been a pretty cool movie. and that's where my complimentsend. To start off with, there are NO likable characters in this movie.AT ALL. Every character is either a demon, a murderous drug-lord, or arevenge seeking angel. You're sitting there wondering who you'resupposed to root for in this confusing crap fest. Speaking of confusing, this movie's editor must have had ADD orsomething because there are so many scenes where things just skip andjump and you could have sworn you pushed a button on your DVD remotethat you shouldn't have. Half the time you don't know who's fightingwho, who's where and what's what. The camera jiggling around alsodoesn't help. The acting by the angel women and the Ian are all prettylaughable not to mention that in the first 5 minutes they must drop theF bomb at least 25 times. classy. The gore is pretty decent butoverused to the point of ridiculousness for no reason. I'm not going to give away the ending, because in all honestly, iCAN'T. i have NO idea how this movie ended. This is one of the mostconfusing things i've ever seen to end a movie. i wish i knew how themovie ended, but i really don't. i know what happens to the two maincharacters, but the last 5 minutes are like someone slipped in a softcore porn by mistake. There's another person on this site who left asimilar question and i repeat it. WHAT HAPPENED at the end of thismovie? i REALLY don't know. see it for yourself and you'll know whatwe're talking about. With incredible continuity, visual, editing,scripting, and acting errors, this movie gets 1 Angel creatingvampires. (i know. don't ask) out of 10.
the movie had black metal and tits it also had female reproductiveorgans being ripped out by teeth do i have to say more? awesome but yesi did not get the ending at all. the angel awakened a zombie, thenkilled it again? and yes, the plot was hard to follow and how manyangels were there really? and also there was quite a few things ididn't understand at all, like the angels, the plot the story, theeffects, the meaning of it in total was difficult to graspand the flying.. god it was awful :S but anyway, i kinda liked it. Ilaughed, i saw tits, and i heard black metal. we need more of thesemovies
