What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
The central conflict combines three local supernatural populations with an extraterrestrial invasion.
Vampires, humans, and zombies occupy a rigid social order before the alien arrival destroys the town's balance.
Dag, Petra, and Ned represent human, vampire, and zombie communities while joining forces against the aliens.
The film presents blood-sucking, brain-eating, vamp-staking combat and multiple folklore creatures in a heightened comic register.
