Must See Movie...
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Vampires is good 90s vampire film a good soundtrack better good acting a lot of action l like this one
It was a good movie though I wasn't really expecting it to be that good. Underrated. Probably the last of John Carpenter's best films. I saw this movie because of my love for vampires, and John Carpenter being one of my favourite directors. There aren't too many great vampire movies out there, and this should be among your watchlist. What I enjoyed the most about this movie is the character – Jack Crow! his character was awesome, and it was mainly him that made this film a success in my view along with the person who played that main vampire. It was like seeing Good v Evil taking each other on. The movie has some flaws though that shouldn't disrupt your enjoyment of the movie, but it is pretty scary at times. I actually had nightmares on a few occasions after watching this movie, but that's normal for me because horror movies are not really my thing, and is something I try to avoid – not that I'm scared or anything. Anyway, Vampires is a movie worth watching especially if your a fan of vampires. Great to watch on Halloween or something...
Unknown to the rest of the world, a group of men have been organized by the Catholic Church to hunt and kill vampires. The leader of this group is a man named "Jack Crow" (James Woods) and he is as tough and non-relenting as they come. As it so happens, however, after one particularly successful event in New Mexico in which 9 vampires are killed while nesting together an abandoned house, the group convenes at a motel that night to celebrate. What they don't realize is that the master vampire by the name of "Jan Valek" (Thomas Ian Griffith) has found out where they are and he is in a very vengeful mood. To make things even more perilous for them is the fact that there is a traitor within their ranks who is working with Jan Valek for alternative reasons. Now rather than divulge any more I will just say that, even though the film starts out rather pretentiously, the action soon kicks in quite nicely which results in a pretty good vampire movie all things considered. Admittedly, there are some scenes which seem to focus more on gore over suspense or horror, but the overall plot and acting make up for it in the long run. Above average.
Unoriginal macho energy plus cliché vampire crap equals a terrible movie. I guess its not the worst movie ever, so that is a sort of achievement. I think I saw at the beginning of the movie, Vampires is based on a book. I really wonder what that book is gotta be like. The actors cast are talented, but the dialog is silly. John Carpenter can be a great director of movies, also John Carpenter can be a mediocre director of movies, this would be the latter. Mainly the problem is the plot, it's a childlike good guys versus bad guys action bore. It's an "R" rated movie for twelve year old boys. It has no depth, it has no imagery that is memorable, even the action scenes are unremarkable. Snore.
