During the research of his book Dan befriended the mysterious McMahon who helped him with his research. In a telephone call McMahon recommends Infurnari, a friend who can help Dan get through all the bitterness and grief. However, Infurnari isn't quite your average chap and the author's life changes forever.
The Harsh Light of Day is something quite special, a horror film with vampiric leanings and a nice Death Wish'esque revenge plot. The film avoids all the vampire cliches, such as bats, wooden stakes, bad Eastern European accents and works all the better for it. This is one film that is thankfully not Twilight, but an atmospheric film with deadly serious consequences for the central character.
It might have been made cheaply, but the film is rich with all the things that count, good acting, blood and whilst not that original, an interesting screenplay with characters you actually like and can emotionally invest in. Simply, a very good film and director Oliver Milburn certainly shows some promise.
