A new edition to the Vestron Video Collector’s Series, the tongue-in-cheek vampire film Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat, first released in 1989, arrives on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital) this August from Lionsgate and stars Bruce Campbell.
The road to Purgatory is paved with good intentions, and Count Mardulak (David Carradine) wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s seeking atonement for centuries of human carnage, which is why he’s instructed Purgatory’s vampire residents to slather on SPF 100 sunblock, pursue daytime activities…and drink only synthetic blood. But some vampires don’t agree with Mardulak — they want the real thing — and if that means wooden bullets flying in a vampire civil war, so be it!
Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat stars Golden Globe® nominee David Carradine (2005, Best Supporting Role – Motion Picture, Kill Bill: Vol.2), Maxwell Caulfield (Grease 2, “The Colbys,” A Prince for Christmas), Morgan Brittany (Gypsy, Gable and Lombard, TV’s “Dallas”), Bruce Campbell (The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, TV’s “Ash vs Evil Dead”), and Golden Globe® nominee Jim Metzler (1983, Best Supporting Role – Motion Picture, Tex).
Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat will be available on Blu-ray™ (plus Digital) for the suggested retail price of $17.99 on August 17, 2021, from Lionsgate.
