Southern Gothic doesn't seem to be too popular here on IMDB. However, that don't mean that I didn't enjoy it. This B vampire horror flick probably won't be anyone's choice for favorite movie of all time, but it dose deliver on atmosphere and gore. The actiing for the most part is decent and most of the performances are pretty subtle and not too over the top. Except for William Forsythe, who plays a diabolical backwoods preacher turned vampire who leads his flock to Armmegedon. My main man Bill must have snorted a Scarface amount of cocaine to get this level of insane performance. To say Forsythe overacted his balls off here is a understatement, but he commands the screen and is totally engrossing in every scene he is in. Also, this portrays strippers and bouncers in a positive light. To show this side of a struggling single mom is not seen too often in horror films. The horror genre gets a lot of flack(sometimes rightfully so) on being rough on women. But, seemingly no one has given this film credit for giving that character (a stripper) a different dimension. Overall, I was fairly entertained by Southern Gothic. Yes, it's low budget and it's not the best movie by any means, but it has some things going for it and is at least never boring.
