Vampires

Plot:

A group of vampire hunters tracked by the Vatican, kill a house full of vampires in New Mexico. Later, the master vampire emerges and comes to the hotel where they’re staying. He turns a prostitute sent to the hotel, as well as most of the hunters. The hunters, along with the a young priest and the prostitute who hasn’t yet turned, set about working together to kill the master before they’re all killed.

Trivia:

John Carpenter was given two scripts by two different writers, based on the same book. He used a little of both to make the final film.

Thoughts:

I always have good thoughts about this movie, but when it came time to actually sit down and watch it again, I kept putting it off. I couldn’t seem to sit down and watch the whole thing through. The movie isn’t that long, but it feels long. There’s a lack of big surprises and it tends to drag at times. The one bright spot is James Woods. Seeing him as a bad ass vampire hunter, makes it all worthwhile.
