I'm prob going to hell for loving this movie
Savage cinema. Pure relentless ugly and unflinching in its dedication to exploitation less savory aspects. The only escape is Carpenter’s formal control and the beauty of his scope compositions. In some ways, it is a rework of his early equal catholic tormented peek at pure evil Prince of Darkness with the elegant Langian/Tourneurian proposition stripped in name of some idea of American essentialism (western setting, Peckinpah violence, a very in your face contemporary attitude out of the sub Tarantino school). It is a big tell that not only this co-star the lesser of all Baldwins, but Carpenter’s Dracula wannabe is played by D-grade DTV star Thomas Ian Griffith. I’m pretty sure that outside of Harris’ Cop, no movie ever allowed James Woods to channel every vile instinct he cherishes as Vampires does. It is the anti-Bram Stoker’s Dracula. I saw this twice on Brazilian opening week.
