After escaping from prison, bank robber Luther Heggs (
Duane Whitaker) is the subject of a manhunt led by
Texas Ranger Otis Lawson. Luther contacts his reformed former accomplice Buck Bowers (
Robert Patrick) and tells him to get their old gang back together for another heist. Buck starts rounding up the old team, which consists of C.W. Niles (
Muse Watson), Jesus Draven (
Raymond Cruz), and Ray Bob (
Brett Harrelson). Buck and the team stop at the El Coyote Motel to wait for Luther. En route, Luther damages his car after hitting a bat and walks to a nearby bar, the Titty Twister. The bartender, Razor Eddie (
Danny Trejo), offers Luther a ride, but when he learns Luther hit the bat, he instead brings Luther back to the scene of the accident. Eddie and the bat, who was actually his friend Victor (Joe Virzi), reveal themselves as
vampires and turn Luther. At the motel, Jesus leaves the group to have sex with Lupe (
Maria Checa), another of the guests. Luther arrives in bat form and kills Lupe as she showers afterward, then attacks Jesus. Jesus stuns Luther, but is then ambushed in the bathroom by the now-vampiric Lupe while trying to hide. He decapitates her but cannot escape from Luther, who bites and turns him. The motel owner calls the police before Luther kills her. Luther and Jesus then join the rest of the gang, and Luther lays out his plan for robbing the Banco Bravos bank, which he says they will carry out immediately. Buck, though hesitant due to Luther's unusual lack of preparation for the heist, agrees to go along with the plan. Otis and the police arrive after the gang leaves and observe the crime scene left behind. The gang travel to the bank, with Luther and Jesus covering the car's windows with black paper so they can hide in it once the sun rises. When they arrive, Luther uses his bat form to enter the bank through the vents, then murders the guard to acquire the keys so the rest of the gang can enter. While Buck, Jesus and Ray Bob guard the lobby, Luther supervises C.W. in cracking the vault. Luther struggles to suppress his vampiric behaviors, causing C.W. to discover his secret. They fight, and Luther easily overpowers and bites C.W.; during their struggle, Luther accidentally sets off the bank's alarm, alerting the police. Buck becomes anxious about what will happen when the police discover the dead guard and decides to give up on the heist. He attempts to convince the others to leave, but Jesus, Luther and C.W. refuse, and Buck notices the bite marks on C.W.'s neck. Buck and Ray Bob try to get away but are cornered by the arriving police, forcing them to go back inside the bank. Otis orders the police to try entering the bank from the roof, but the officers are killed by Luther, who attacks them in bat form. As the standoff escalates, Buck discovers that Jesus has no reflection in a computer screen and tries unsuccessfully to warn Ray Bob about what is happening. Ray Bob leaves to use the restroom, but is intimidated into helping Luther and C.W. load the money. As they finish collecting the money, Buck turns on them and holds them at gunpoint, telling Ray Bob that they are vampires. However, Ray Bob reveals that he was turned while he was helping gather the money. Buck flees and fights his way out of the bank with a makeshift cross, only to be arrested by Otis, who disregards his warnings not to enter the bank, outside. Otis sends in the SWAT team, but the vampires kill them all. The sun begins to rise, forcing the vampires to hide. However, an eclipse soon begins, freeing them to slaughter the police outside the bank. Buck, Otis and lawman Edgar McGraw survive and fight back using improvised crosses, hoping to stun the vampires long enough for the sun to return. A female officer who was turned attacks them, allowing the vampires to counterattack. Buck kills the officer, but Jesus kills McGraw and betrays the other vampires, attempting to steal the loot for himself before Luther catches him. Otis kills C.W., while Buck uses a horned
hood ornament to impale and kill Jesus. As the eclipse ends, Luther and Ray Bob try to escape to their car. Luther is staked by Buck, who was hiding in the back seat. Buck then uses his sunglasses to reflect sunlight onto Ray Bob, killing him. In the aftermath, Buck reunites with Otis, and they take in the events that have occurred. As they hear sirens approaching, Otis allows Buck to flee with the money, giving him a head start out of respect for his aid against the vampires. == Cast ==
