Truck-driver Brewster takes over his missing brother's delivery of a load of coffins to a funeral home. He picks up hitchhiking gay couple Cary and Vogel whose relationship is in trouble to help him stay awake but when his GPS leads them into a deserted junkyard, his truck breaks down, stranding them. Night falls, and the coffins reveal blood-thirty vampires. Now the mismatched trio must barricade themselves in the cab of the truck and try to survive until dawn...

Why it matters

A gritty indie vampire thriller that blends road movie tension with claustrophobic survival horror.

  • Practical effects stand out in the creature design, delivering grisly, tactile vampirism without overreliance on CGI.
  • A rare queer horror road trip that explores fractured relationships amid supernatural terror—an underrepresented angle in vampire cinema.
  • The rusty, isolated junkyard setting amps up the atmosphere, channeling ‘80s and ‘90s B-movie vibes with a modern indie sensibility.
  • Not for those craving polished studio scares, but a solid pick for fans of micro-budget horror that leans into mood and practical creature work.
