Rating: Summary: NUMBER 1 FAVORITE Review: This movie is the greatest movie ever made. It has great acting and great special effects. James Woods and Thomas Ian Griffith were teriffic.
Rating: Summary: Better hunting them than being hunted by them Review: Excellent content. Not an original storyline, but for those of you who do not seek the meaning of life in a movie, excellent action. Not only does it provoke your sixth sense of mayhem and destruction but it also brings to the screen a reality not touched upon for a long time. Perhaps not all clergy were or are holy.......but alas as with PROPHECY(Christopher Walken would have played a good lead vampire here, as he did an arch angel there).Thank you Mr. Carpenter for a refreshing look at the legacy of the Vampire. Expound upon it all you want. It is and always will be a welcome a change.
Rating: Summary: One Word: AWESOME!!!!! Review: You have to buy this movie. I have never really liked James Woods, but this was incredible. The story was great, and the action was even better!
Rating: Summary: It could have been an Ed Woods production Review: Amazon really should allow no stars. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The dialog was terrible the action sequences were very confusing. It was nonsense action that I would expect from a 5 year old who is playing with their GI Joe dolls. Who ever wrote the dialog for this script should have a stake through his eyes, and be forced to hear the screams of dispair of those who had to sit through this movie! Mind you going into this movie I wasn't expecting a 4 star performance, but I didn't think it would be this bad. If you want fun mindless brain candy check out BLADE. It is much more entertaining. What ever you do AVOID this movie. Teach these Movie producers that we won't settle with this garbage!
Rating: Summary: A piece of junk Review: I usually like John Carpenter movies, but give me a break. The hunters were nothing more than a bunch of mysogonistic morons. Why drag vampires into the sunlight when you could just burn them out? Why are our heroes tying the chick to the bed naked? Carpenter tries so hard to make James Woods look cool it's almost funny ... but not quite.The one saving grace of this movie was the bad guy. But I would have been much happier if he had won.
Rating: Summary: BAD! Review: This is the worst film I have ever seen! It was so boring that I fell asleep....
Rating: Summary: FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: There us only 1 word to describe this movie and that is FUN. This film is wicked!. I had friends over to watch this film and we were all laughing and screaming our heads off!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT NOW!!!
Rating: Summary: Beyond Horrible! Review: I just have to say that this movie was one of the worst I have seen in a long time. Admittedly, the trailer made it look good, especially the scenes with the head vampire. But five minutes into the film itself I had a feeling it was going to be bad, and I wasn't wrong. Like someone else wrote in their review, the characters are foul-mouthed and mean-spirited. And I don't think I have seen a more misogynistic movie in years. Poor Sheryl Lee. I, too, was confused over the neccessity for the "Let's tie her to the bed naked" scene. But my boyfriend said, "Guys like that stuff". Whatever. Overall between the mistreatment of women and priests, I found the film very offensive. The soundtrack sounded like a "From Dusk Til Dawn" rip-off. Thank goodnes it was "dollar day" at the video store.
Rating: Summary: Although this film is not his best work, it was decent. Review: It was nice to see James Woods working in a John Carpenter film. I was a little disappointed with the story line, but the effects really kicked ass. Sheryl Lee was under-used in this film, she is a great actress that could have been a wonderful asset to the story, instead, she was wasted in a goofy role. Hell, she could have been one of the hunters rather than a mere victim. Oh, well.
Rating: Summary: This flick is a kick! Review: I have been a fan of vampire films since childhood; in fact, I even made a few on 8mm with friends--- using ketchup as blood--- the whole nine yards. That's why this film can't really be taken seriously as "a vampire film," but CAN be taken seriously as a vampire film "take-off." It was just hysterical. So many "in" jokes and references and hommages to previous vampire film endeavors. Sure there's plenty of gore but, yet, even THIS is in sync with what Carpenter, I think, is trying to say. I didn't expect much; afterall, the critics bit into this film, if you'll pardon the pun, with a vengeance. Well, frankly, I think critics suck. (Another pun?) VAMPIRES has everything..... but it simply must be viewed with fondness, humor and a willing (very) suspension of disbelief. James Woods is wonderful--- the film would be worth watching just for him.
