leads a dawn raid on a New Mexico "goon nest" of bloodsuckers--not only suggests a horror movie that refuses to pull its punches, but even evokes some of the more disturbing dream-memories of American Westerns. Muscular and uncompromising, the sequence suggests a new Carpenter classic unravelling before one's eyes. Things don't quite work out that way, but this is still a film to reckon with. There are a few serious (and surprising) misjudgements on the director's part, particularly a mishandling of Sheryl Lee's role as a prostitute poisoned by the bite of a "master vampire" (who pretty much wiped out Woods' team of goon terminators). But aside from some weaknesses, the action is jolting, the suggested complicity of the Catholic Church in destroying monsters is provocative, and the traces of Howard Hawks' continuing influence on Carpenter's storytelling are in evidence. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com
A waste of time and money Review ofJohn Carpenter's Vampires / John Carpenter's Vampires: Los Muertos / Vampires: The Turning (Box Set)by
RedTape
Advantages: not much Disadvantages: overacting, bad script, bad costuming, etc...
...buy this DVD. I dislike John Carpenter vampire movies a LOT, because even though they have a lot of potential I still think these movies ruin the beauty of the vampire movie. This movie however was one of the worst ones I have ever watched. It was completely overacted; which I think they might have been doing to make up for the disaster of a movie. The awfulness that is this movie makes my head hurt even now thinking of it; and makes me wonder why ... ...it. It could have been much better. DVD DETAILS:
