“Sunset On The River Styx” (*1/2 out of four) was a gloomy horror melodrama about two young lovers (Phillip Andre Botello and Jakki Jandrell) who form a forbidden alliance that is intercepted by their mistakes of the past which have spiraled to their present and future and also a vampire death cult that threatens to tear them apart. Overstuffed mix of young-lovers drama, horror thriller, and teen angst that doesn’t gel as it should mostly due to snail-like pacing. Idan Menin’s lush and candy-colored cinematography is a highlight but doesn’t do enough to ameliorate overall tedium.
