VAMPIRE MOVIE MARATHON - SYFY: SCHEDULE MONDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2012
09:30 AM The Dunwich Horror
Opposing parties seek the missing page of a sinister book in this adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft tale.
Cast includes Griff Furst, Sarah Lieving, Dean Stockwell (who also co-starred in the 1970 movie version), Jeffrey Combs, Natacha Itzel, Lauren Michele and Shirly Brener.
11:30 AM Daybreakers
The vampire genre is given a novel approach with lackluster results in this noir-ish horror film from the Australian filmmaking team of Michael and Peter Spierig. Existing in the near future, the picture hypothesizes a vampiric takeover of the Earth wherein the fanged population continues to go about their lives while humankind is drained of blood in order to keep the masses alive. The film’s most delectable bits come when the vamps go through withdrawal and transform into blood-thirsty monsters, hungry for sustenance from wherever they can get it -- including themselves.
Cast includes Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, Claudia Karvan, Michael Dorman, Isabel Lucas and Vince Colosimo.
01:30 PM Stake Land
After vampires overtake America, orphaned teen Martin (Connor Paolo) and survivalist Mister (Nick Damici) find themselves locked in a battle against a dangerous religious cult lead by the diabolical Jebedia Loven (Michael Cerveris). Later, Martin and Mister are joined by a group of weary travelers trying to find a sanctuary known as New Eden.
Cast includes Nick Damici, Connor Paolo, Sean Nelson, Fringe's Michael Cerveris, Bonnie Dennison, Chance Kelly, Tim House, Larry Fessenden and Kelly McGillis.
03:30 PM Underworld: Rise Of The Lycans
A prequel to the first two Underworld films, this fantasy explains the origins of the feud between the Vampires and the Lycans. Aided by his secret love, Sonja (Rhona Mitra), courageous Lucian (Michael Sheen) leads the Lycans in battle against brutal Vampire king Viktor (Bill Nighy). Determined to break the king's enslavement of his people, Lucian faces off against the Death Dealer army in a bid for Lycan independence.
