Film Description – Darkness: The Vampire Version and Leif Jonker’s Darkness, is a 1993 American independent horror film written, produced, edited, and directed by Leif Jonker and starring Gary Miller, Randall Aviks, and Mike Gisick. The film was heavily circulated on the underground horror circuit. Jonker wrote the script when he was 17 years old and began production a year later, in 1988. After four days of shooting, he abandoned the production. He returned to it in 1989 with a new cast and a budget under $5000. Jonker finished post-production in 1991, two and a half years after he began it. Bloody Disgusting called it a "diamond in the rough" that has attained a cult following for its gore. Scott Weinberg of DVD Talk wrote, "Lief Jonker’s Darkness is one of the cheapest, silliest, and splatteriest no-budget horror flicks you’re ever likely to come across."

 

A small community is besieged by vampires. After he watches friends ravaged in a convenience store, a lone avenger goes off to do battle with the undead, armed with shotgun, chainsaw, and Holy water. Later he finds other survivors and they try to stay alive long enough to do battle with Liven, king of the vampires.
