The Big Picture While not the first mashup between vampires and Westerns, the 2011 action horror flick Priest is undoubtedly the most original. Based on a graphic novel series of the same name by Hyung Min-woo, this action-packed adventure merges standard Western concepts with high supernatural fantasy set in an alternate world where humans and vampires have been at war since the dawn of time.
The Priest vows to his brother Owen , who took care of and married the warrior's old flame when he was taken by the Church for the Vampire War years ago, that he will get his niece Lucy back. But unbeknownst to the Priest, one of his former priestly allies, known only as Black Hat , has been turned by the vampires into a new form of their species, one more akin to your standard vampire in looks but with the ability to walk freely in the sun.
"The movie has this desaturated, somber quality. There is a Wastelands, and the priest character meets up with this young sheriff to try to find this young woman who has been kidnapped by vampires," Stewart told FearNet back in 2010. "It's definitely an homage to John Ford's The Searchers. The vampires are the Comanche, and the priest is similar to John Wayne's character. The priest was a soldier but now is an outcast.
