While the final ten minutes of Sunset On The River Styx are a bit confounding, the narrative as a whole is engrossing. Go to Full Review

James M @silverbullet64 Oct 23, 2026 This movie is awful. What is wrong with you people? Arthouse smut. We went in seeing the 100% Popcorn meter thinking, "Maybe, just maybe this will be worth it time." I need to write this review to warn people about bad cinema (and folks, this is bad cinema) with the hope of bringing this rating down. It's pretty, sure. I'll give it that, but that just makes me think of the wasted film this used. The filmmakers we're clearly on acid when they wrote it. They were on acid when they made it. They were on acid in post production. This was depressing. It was depressing in itself, but it was also depressing about how bad it was. The only possible positive thing I can say is that maybe this will give people with something good to say an actual chance at making a good movie. See more Chuck B @Chazz77 Oct 6, 2026 The premise is based on when a victim drinks vampire blood and is not bitten, or bitten w/o drinking blood they are stuck in a purgatory like time loop, out of sync with the world. For me it was a fresh take on the genre. Some reviewers thought it was confusing; it's actually explained in the movie. As some have stated it performs well above its budget. See more Jun 25, 2022 A masterpiece. The writing, cinematography, and the nonlinear pacing will leave you unsettled and fascinated. very fresh, such movie. See more Jun 20, 2022 Really, really enjoyed watching this movie. It's a more cerebral take on the vampire tropes that we've already scene before, this time in a new way. I love the time passing montages with the main actor! More than anything, really just loved seeing a film that has a vision. See more Jun 15, 2022 Dark, twisted, and oddly sweet love tale. Unique take on modern vampirism and immortality. See more Jun 14, 2022 This is a fun and surreal vampire film, inventive and lofi in a fun indie way. TWILIGHT it is NOT. There's some really great trippy sequences with sharp cinematography and editing that keep you anchored even when things go wild. See more Read all reviews
