VAMPIRES

As a child, Jack Crow had his family exterminated by vampires, so he decided to dedicate his life to hunting these terrible beings. He is close to the complete elimination of the non-dead lineage, but first he must face the grand priest of the vampires, Valek, a being of extraordinary power, over three hundred years old. Carpenter rarely disappoints his fans and this time he has also managed to craft a good horror film, almost a kind of horror western with which the director wanted to combine the film genres he loves most (horror and western). A simple plot, but not without some "original" twists - such as the Catholic origin of the vampires -, a great protagonist (James Woods) and good doses of blood, with some sequences on the edge of splatter, make the film engaging and fluid; if you add some well-placed jokes and the solid direction of a true master of the genre, you understand why this film should be seen. Humor, machismo, splatter, Carpenter is great again, even if at a lower level than his highest fasts. Curiosity: the role of the female protagonist is entrusted to Sheryl Lee who the older ones will remember for having played the mysterious Laura Palmer in the television series "Twin Peaks".
