American Vampires

When bounty hunter Dale tracks a fugitive to a remote trailer outside a small Colorado town, the job appears routine.

But the fugitive has uncovered something in a field nearby — a centuries-old grave containing the body of a Spanish conquistador. When the corpse is disturbed, the creature awakens.

What follows is a night of chaos, bloodshed, and survival as bounty hunters, criminals, and unsuspecting locals discover they are no longer alone in the wilderness.

The vampire is ancient. - It is hungry. - And it remembers the land.

American Vampires is a gritty modern horror film that combines the tension of a manhunt with the terror of an unstoppable supernatural predator.

A fugitive digging for buried treasure unknowingly awakens an ancient vampire.

Two bounty hunters tracking him become the first witnesses to the creature's return.

As the night unfolds, unlikely groups collide — bounty hunters, criminals, and desperate survivors — all trapped in the same stretch of wilderness while a centuries-old predator hunts them one by one.

By morning, the town will never be the same.

The story takes place in the rugged landscapes of western Colorado, where isolated farmland, forests, and small communities create the perfect setting for a modern horror story.

Hidden beneath this peaceful American setting lies a violent history stretching back hundreds of years.

When the past is unearthed, the consequences are immediate — and deadly.

The film combines the mythology of classic vampire stories with the realism of modern America, grounding the supernatural in a world that feels authentic and familiar.
