Vampire slayer Derek Bliss (Jon Bon Jovi) is ordered to put together a team of hunters composed of (1) Zoey (Natasha Gregson Wagner), a young woman he met in a diner who was bitten by a vampire but who has been able to keep the turning in remission by taking some anti-HIV pills she got in Mexico City, (2) Father Rodrigo (Cristián de la Fuente), the only priest who escaped a vampire massacre at a monastery, (3) Sancho (Diego Luna), a 15-year-old boy who accompanied Derek on a vampire hunt and found that he had a penchant for vampire-hunting, and (4) Ray Collins (Darius McCrary), a tall, muscular, black, ex-military, "tough as nails" guy. In a bus outfitted for killing vampires, the ragtag team sets out to destroy a colony of vampires in northern Mexico along with their powerful leader Una (Arly Jover) before the "suckers" can obtain the Bersier cross, which will allow them to walk during the daytime.

Vampires: Los Muertos is the sequel to Vampires (1998) (1998), which was loosely based on Vampire$, a 1991 novel by American author John Steakley. The screenplay for Los Muertos was written by Tommy Lee Wallace, who also directed the film.

Castwise, it's an entirely new group of actors. Father Guiteau (Tim Guinee) is mentioned as the one who, before his death a month ago, built the vampire hunting bus. Only the black Cross of Bersier is back. It's explained that Fr Guiteau took the cross south into Mexico to hide it, and the vampires followed suit, hoping to find it.

After saving Rodrigo from the fire, Derek returns to the nest, dropping his weapons and assuring Una that he only wants to talk. However, Una leaps on him, and Derek reacts by firing an arrow through her. Unfortunately, the winch is on the fritz, and they can't pull her out into the sun. So, they fix the winch and go back into the ruins. Sancho ropes Una, Una grabs Derek, Zoey pulls both Una and Derek out into the sun, Derek shoots off Una's head, and Una burns up. In the final scene, Rodrigo stays in Salina, Sancho is sent home to his mother, and Derek and Zoey drive off together into the sunset, headed for Mexico City, as they are both in need of those meds.

Rodrigo admits that he hid it but won't tell anyone where.

The fact that it was so violent, he especially didn't like the opening scene.
