brutal without being intense
Jack Crow (James Woods) leads a group of vampire hunters organized by of the Catholic church. Anthony Montoya (Daniel Baldwin) is his second in command. They clear a nest but the master isn’t there. Jan Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) escape the hunt and massacres the group as they party into the night. Katrina (Sheryl Lee) is a local party girl who gets bitten. Crow and Montoya survive the attack taking Katrina along to track Valek. Cardinal Alba (Maximilian Schell) tells Crow about Valek’s massacre of their European team. He is the first recorded vampire and the most powerful after a botched exorcism by the church. Father Adam Guiteau (Tim Guinee) is assigned to rebuild the team and attack Valek quickly. Crow suspects that Valek is actually searching for the legendary dark crucifix which supposedly gives vampires the ability to walk in daylight.

Director John Carpenter doesn’t waste any time and dives right into the world of vampire killers. I respect that. There’s no real need for an introduction to lay out the background. The action is brutal. It’s a lot of blood and tearing. They are not kung fu fighting. While I love the brutality, there isn’t much tension. It’s brutal without actually being intense. That’s the major deficit. The story isn’t twisty enough. James Woods does a fine macho character. This is good vampire hunt movie but it doesn’t anything more than that.Read More
