So, I had already resigned myself to hate this show, because it's on network tv. I mean how scary could it get? Well, I gotta say they managed to pull it off. There was blood, violence and a pretty cool looking vampire. And a bit of sexy time moment.

Episode 1: The Sacrifice
Four criminals are fleeing the scene from a criminal activity they have taken part in and they get a spike in their tire. I still don't know what it was they did, but one of the dudes is hurt badly.

Instead of going down the open road, they make a stop in a huge fortress deal, where they meet three strange women. There's no electricity or anything resembling modern life there. Think M. Knight Shyamalan's, The Village, gone bad. And can I just say when there are rows of makeshift graves in the yard, LEAVE, go back from whence you came. But, they don't. So on with the show.

I won't give it away completely, but let’s just say there's a very hungry vampire hanging out in the village. And just like every horror movie two side characters are picked off fairly early, leaving Point and his brother Lemon (poor stupid Lemon). Anyway, Point sends Lemon to look for the others. Another classic horror movie move. Never a good idea and Lemon of course gets it.

Meanwhile, Point discovers the hurt dude has been killed and the girls have their father chained in a room. And although we don't see the very cool looking vampire yet, he drags Daddy Dead away, and from the sound of it, Daddy gets it.

Point goes looking for his brother and discovers him being attacked and we get a good look at the vampire. And we get the back-story about how the vampire hid among the village settler’s years ago and these women stay there to keep it behind the walls away from the rest of the world.

After some more deaths, Point and the last surviving woman, (Rachel Miner) trap the Vampire in the barn and burn it and him. Finally killing it, my only beef with this plan, is that never occurred to them in the past.

There was a nice little scene at the end that was great, because at first it gives us the impression that everything will be tied up with a nice little bow, but that’s not the deal at all.

Overall I think the first episode was pretty good. Maybe a 7/10 if I was rating it. Definitely worth watching a repeat. Next week we get Eric Roberts in an episode entitled Spooked. Roberts’s plays a private investigator goes on a stake out in a haunted mansion.

Hope you guys watch, if you can pry yourselves away from Swingtown.
