About Me:
Years before TWILIGHT and TRUE BLOOD cast their spell on American audiences, indie filmmaker William Hopkins' micro-budgeted thriller, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, explored the nighttime world of vampires and those who seek to destroy them -- a world in which both hunter and hunted are conflicted, tormented souls.
Produced by Howard Nash & Frank Cilla in the early years of digital video, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS is a triumph of filmmaking ingenuity and enthusiasm over budget, telling the exciting, sexy and violent tale of innocents caught between sides in the eternal war of good versus evil.
"...One of the most ambitious productions of its type we've seen.... The makers of SLEEPLESS NIGHTS were obviously aiming higher than the standard exploitation.... The script uses the fantastic to chart the extremities of human experience... exploring the loneliness of immortality while also poking satirical jabs at the living and the dead." -- Tim Lucas, Video Watchdog Magazine
"...writer-director William Hopkins makes his revisionist vampire mythology credible and frames the bloodsuckers' fiendish attacks with considerable panache." - Robert Pardi, TVGuide.com
"...combines the horror of DARK SHADOWS with the thriller and relationship aspects of THE X-FILES.... undoubtedly deserves and will find a following...." -- Rey Wasserman, Focus In Magazine
"A sprawling epic of a film involving a decades-old war of vampires vs. humans, government operatives, spurned lovers, the corruption of religion and age-old vendettas.... Writer-director William Hopkins has put a lot of effort into creating mood with minimal resources.... It just goes to show, indie horror may have small wallets but they occasionally have big ideas." -- Scott W. Davis, CultCuts Magazine
"..,A surprisingly sober and restrained treatment of its sensationalistic subject matter.... Writer/Director Hopkins eschews the obvious in a laudatory attempt to make a vampire film that takes itself seriously." -- Ed Hulse, DVD Exclusive Magazine
"...A solid vampire movie with interesting characters and an entertaining story." -- thedvdvampire.com
"One of the best vampire movies I've ever seen... there's plenty of new twists to the mythos.... If you think the vampire genre is getting old and tired, you need to rent this movie." -- Kevin Lindenmuth, Director, Addicted to Murder
