20+ Positive Online Reviews for DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION!
The reviews keep coming in and happily the vast majority of them are all still very positive.  First up THE BUTCHER over on KILLER REVIEWS.COM has a few nice things to say about the flick and then Donald Guarisco at ALL MEDIA GUIDE provides two separate reviews (one for the film and the other for the DVD) excerpted separately below.  Thanks guys!

"If you`re looking for an old school bloodfest stop because this is it!  Leif Jonker’s Darkness was without a doubt, one of this year’s most anticipated DVD releases for me.  Right from the opening sequence Darkness takes off and never lets up. I know people say that all the time about movies, but I assure you, in this case it’s never been truer. It brings the kind of energy that you wish more horror films would have.  Darkness is without [a doubt] one of the goriest films I have ever seen, definitely in my top ten at least."

"Darkness: The Vampire Version is a movie for horror fans who can appreciate the genre at its rawest extremes.  ...anyone who enjoys underground-style horror will be impressed by the intensity of Darkness: The Vampire Version.  Director Leif Jonker keeps the viewer from focusing on the film's shortcomings by giving it a lean, speedy pace and delivering plenty of outrageous, bloody set pieces (the highway-set finale in particular is a grue-soaked stunner)."

"Like the film it showcases, Barrel Entertainment's DVD of Darkness: The Vampire Version is a jaw-dropping labor of love.  The new version offers drastically improved picture quality, not to mention slicker editing and better title graphics...  In short, Barrel Entertainment's edition of Darkness: The Vampire Version is one of the most impressive (and exhaustive) DVD packages ever assembled for a low-budget horror film, and it is an obvious must for the film's fans."

DARKNESS: THE VAMPIRE VERSION found on the shelves at BORDER'S BOOKS!
One last happy note...   A very nice bonus about our return to Wichita was a recent visit to Border's Books.  Unfortunately there are no Border's in Wilmington so we hadn't been able to visit them till now but once we did we were thrilled to find that both the Standard Single-Disc and Deluxe 2-Disc Limited Edition (with special silver-foil packaging) were carried in-store/on the shelves smack dab in the middle of their HORROR DVDS section!  If you're one of those folks who still prefers to buy from brick and mortar outlets, be sure to look for the 2-Disc Special Edition of our flick at Border's Books, Tower Video and FYE.  Plus, you can still find the standard single-disc edition at Best Buy!  And as always, you can order it online by clicking at any of the 50+ direct links found on our BUY THE DVD page by clicking HERE or at the button up top!

That's it for now.  Be sure to check back on September 13th for our next regularly scheduled monthly update!

BeAst WisheS!
