Why it’s HorroRated
Justin Long in a horror movie is always worth your time, largely because he reliably ends up with the short end of the stick, and that gift for on-screen misery makes Ethan hard to forget. Jermaine Fowler gives the film its torn conscience as a cop stuck between the badge and the block, while Phil Brooks brings imposing menace. Ryan Prows has plenty on his plate, from police corruption to gang rivalries, and the story does get crowded, but the anger underneath keeps it moving. Come for vampires with something on their minds, and stay for the bloody street-level action.
Synopsis
A satirical vampire thriller set in Los Angeles, Night Patrol (2026) comes from director Ryan Prows, who wrote it with Tim Cairo, Jake Gibson and Shaye Ogbonna. Jermaine Fowler plays LAPD officer Xavier Carr, an ex-gang member patrolling his old neighborhood, with Justin Long as his ambitious partner Ethan, RJ Cyler as Xavier's brother Wazi, and Freddie Gibbs, Phil Brooks (CM Punk) and Dermot Mulroney in the mix. It premiered at Fantastic Fest in September 2025 before RLJE Films and Shudder brought it out in January 2026. The premise turns a secretive police unit into literal bloodsuckers, giving the horror real bite about who gets protected and who gets preyed on.
