Shadowland (2010)

Directed by Wyatt Weed

Horror | Action

Overview

A taut reinvention of vampire lore, Shadowland opens in modern day North America, where construction workers uncover an old stone cross and what appears to be a wooden stake. They remove the stake from the ground, allowing Laura (Caitlin McIntosh), a slumbering vampire, to revive and rise from the earth. Beaten and weak, Laura is unable to speak, remember who she is, or even the fact that she is a vampire! As Laura attempts to make sense of the strange new world around her, she begins to remember not only an idyllic human life in 1897 but the handsome Lazarus (Carlos Antonio León), a mysterious lover who may not have had her best interests in mind. Soon Julian (Jason Contini), a world-weary vampire hunter employed by the church, begins tracking Laura, but as he closes in for the kill he learns that things are not what they seem.

Viewing Notes

LONG DAY AT CHICAGO COMIC CON… or Wizard World Chicago. Great day walking the floor and seeing celebrities. Talked with Linda Blair! And Adam West was escorted right by me. Best part of the day was the Black Cat No. 13 beer tasting across the street. Overall a pretty good albeit exhausting day. During the after hours, I was able to catch a screening of Wyatt Weed’s Shadowland (2010) with a cast Q&A. Not particularly a very good film but not terrible for a modern vampire story. Caitlin McIntosh is quite a looker and makes for an easier viewing.
