From the Dark (2014)

A Irish farmer digging in his field unearths a wooden stake and then finds a body under the ground. Shortly afterwards, he is attacked and bitten in the neck.

Meanwhile a couple on vacation takes a wrong turn and ends up stuck in the mud on a dirt road.  Sarah stays in the car as Mark looks for help. But instead Mark finds the injured farmer after going into his unlocked house. Mark tells Sarah someone needs their help, but Sarah is hesitant to leave the car.

When they arrive the house is dark and it takes awhile to find the farmer, who attacks Mark. They are saved when they discover he doesn’t like the light and he jumps out the window and runs off.

When they head back to the car, the unearthed creature goes after them. They seek shelter and safety at the house but with Mark injured, things aren’t going to go well.

This is an Irish film which is long on atmosphere and short on vampire.  The creature is mostly in the dark so we don’t see much of it.
