Horror

As a film, John Carpenter’s Vampires leaves a lot to be desired. The story is average and has been done before, and the acting is questionable at best. I just cannot appreciate James Woods as a bad ass Vampire Killer. Vampires does contain a number of scenes that build tension and effectively instill some horror, but you will not be traumatized by the scariness of this film. Yes, there are a few sequences that look very good in terms of the cinematography, and there is some nice gore and violence, but you w...uld be much better off viewing a film such as Dog Soldiers if you are looking for a quality horror flick.

“Hired by the Vatican, supernatural bounty hunter Jack Crow (James Woods) meets his match in Valek, the 600 year-old leader of a band of vampires terrorizing the American Southwest. When Valke kills most of Crow's team of mercenary vampire slayers in a surprise attack, the bounty hunter turns to help from Katrina (Sheryl Lee), a beautiful prostitute with a psychic link to the deadly vampire, who leads him to Valek's lair for the final showdown.” – Columbia-Tristar
