Day 2 of 31 days of my favorite scary movies is a vampire film that became my favorite of the genre
Day 2 of 31 days of my favorite scary movies is a vampire film that became my favorite of the genre back in 1987 and has yet to be unseated. The (now) Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow helmed this this gritty, bloody, and sometimes darkly humorous take of a “family” of vampires that a newly turned young man is unwittingly introduced into and forced to survive. Gone are the nobility and romanticism of the vampire genre. These are brutal, road worn, working class blood suckers. The cast is great, but Bill Paxton as the group’s psychotic enforcer Severen manages to steal pretty much every scene he’s in. -- source link
