Abomination
It's the longest night of the year, and the misfit crew that works the night shift at one of Los Angeles's morgues is having another quiet evening of processing the city's dead bodies. Until one of those bodies wakes up. A newborn vampire. Trapped, and with no help on the way, the motley crew have to stick together and put their unique knowledge and skills to use in order to survive until morning. There are several Die Hard jokes.
