WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the sleepy Irish backwater town of Six Mile Hill, known to the world only for the legend that Bram Stoker once spent a night in the local pub, directionless young man Eugene (Rowan) is forced to work for his no-nonsense father Francie (O’Neill) after a personal tragedy. After finding himself on the site of a controversial new road development that threatens to destroy the town’s livelihood, he and his fellow workers tear down a famous cairn that is said to be the final resting place of legendary Irish vampire Abhartach, and soon find themselves fighting for survival against the ferocious being that has been reawakened…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The legend of Abhartach, an Irish vampire said to have inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula, is given a playfully demented new spin in this frightening, but also rather funny, horror for vampire fans everywhere.
