The past several vampire movies I've watched for this blog have been of a range of quality, from
stunning to
fascinating to
absolutely dull. However, regardless of quality, they've all had a similar tone and pace; they've been slow, ponderous, serious films, ones which play with subtle mood and mix vampirism with the directors' questions about morality, culture, and philosophy. While many have been well done, this last film left me so drained that I found myself wondering why I was trying to keep this blog updated .....Why had I even wanted to make a vampire movie blog anyway?
Thankfully, my local independent movie theater had a one-week showing of the film
Bloodsucking Bastards and it reminded me of one important truth:
vampire movies can be a lot of FUN.
