Vampires and originality don't usually go hand-in-hand in the Horror genre, but Wyatt Weed's breakthrough feature film looks to change that. SHADOWLAND tells the tale of the beautiful vampiress Laura, who awakens from the grave after being locked away for a century only to find herself lost in the modern world. As she struggles to find her place, she must allude the authorities and outrun a vampire hunter that has been sent after her by the church. Unlike so many other forgettable vampire pictures over the years, SHADOWLAND is heavy on character and low on gore, crafting its own rich history and mythology that are each quite unique. The Southern Gothic atmosphere places it in league with many of the classic Hammer films, only set to a contemporary American backdrop. Weed manages to turn back time, returning the streets of San Carlos into a convincing colonial township on a tiny budget. Where he will find some hesitation with the mainstream crowds is in his slow but deliberate pacing, which works well for Gothic film fans, but will likely become an instant turn-off for many of today's audiences. This allows the viewer the time needed to bond with Laura's character throughout her journey, a task that is made easy thanks to Caitlin McIntosh's winning performance. McIntosh is left to act out the first half of the film without any dialog, yet she is still able to convey a range of emotion while drawing the audience in despite this handicap. Although there are very few action sequences, the ones that do make it in are cleverly shot in order to allude to Laura's powers without a heavy reliance on special FX. On top of everything else, SHADOWLAND provides stunning cinematography and an exceptional score that make it a top-contender for 2010!
