Buy it if you like horror films... Review on Vampire Movie

Vampire is a film directed by John Carpenter, starring Vampire Slayer Jack Crow (James Woods) and Vampire Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) Basically the storyline is as usual... You`ll find some nudity, excessive violence, scary or tense scenes, provocating and western-like music, but this time, there is no sex in the film...which makes it quite different from other movies of it`s type.

The film starts with Jack Crow, the vampire slayer with his team destroying a vampire nest somewhere near the desert in rural New Mexico. Killings are quite violent and some scenes like opening doors or fighting with the vampires are really tense and provocative at times. This introductory Killing is successful when nine vampires are killed. The vampires are shot many times, beaten with weapons (like the guns themselves), I even saw several scenes showing members of the team pushing the knives into the heads of vampires. It really can be disturbing at some times.

Then, the film launches murderous attacks. This time, instead, it`s the Vampires who kill Humankind. And here is how it is... During the victory celebration of the recent Vampire Attack (mentionned above), Valek (the Master Vampire) savagely kills them all by guess what... Using only his bare hands, either by pushing them in anyone`s stomachs and sliding them upwards, or using the classic style of simply pulling their inner-stuff (what to say, it`s so disgusting) outside. -And it really is so easy as a lot of blood and gore and present in it.

The fact is that the whole scene shows every mutiliated body in considerable details. Looks bad and probably worse for the director. But, direction (I mean by director, John Carpenter) is excellent for this scene. Fortunately, Jack Crow, one of his drivers and another prostitute survive the attack. Unfortunately, then the young woman is bitten by Valek and some nudity follows in a hotel, but no sex at all. There are some bare breast, butts in the film which still again look disturbingly provocative.

Next, is the fight against Valek only. Hey, I don`t think I have told you more on Valek... So I will! Valek, according to the film was a priest during the 1300`s. He is supposingly a vicious 600-year-old Master Vampire mistakenly created by the Catholic Church. Well, in a certain way, he probably had a fight with the other priests who fired him, and superstitious (or unholy) Valek turned out to the devil and decided to be a vampire for immortality. But unfortunately, the balance of himself is bad. He also wants to be able to live during the day which I guess would make him unstoppable and rule over the world. Jack Crow, is accompanied by a young priest (Tim Guinee) who finally achieve what they always wanted... To eradicate Valek. And as you can guess, there are a lot of violence, and suspensful music and the suspence in the film quite good too. While driving to safety (driver of Crow) is bitten by the prostitute (who on which the vampire virus has already spread) He, too becomes a vampire. But he saves Crow and the young priest who let him live until they decide when to kill him...

LOWS OF VAMPIRES

Unfortunately, the film suffers from too many logic and typical thoughts most people have on Vampires. For example, a story (like Jesus Christ) about the Vampires who were mystically created by the Catholic Church, or even, the amount of time between the first and second fights. (The second murder-scene occurs during the same night as the day when the team killed the Vampires, earlier in film) may seem too superstitious... which I think really is. The film also tends to be more bloodily and profanity is extreme than horror. I guess that horror films do not need too much logic and that certainly puts me down as I like watching these films for entertainment. At times, the film is very rapid, and at times quite difficult to understand, but all in all, it`s great! So, my final conclusion for the storyline for Vampire is... Whether or not, do Vampires really exist?

The actors are good and they perform well. This film is better than other good horror films such as Halloween-21 Resurrection because of it`s stylishness of good direction. Techically, this film is four-stars because it lacks a bit of good titles (which are too simple for an horror film) This film is simply great to watch with friends, but as I`ve concludded earlier...

VAMPIRE IS ONLY ADVISABLE TO ADULTS OF OVER 18 YEARS OLD AND TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AGAINST THE SUPERNATURAL POWERS)

Good work, Mr. John Carpenter! (FILM DIRECTOR)
