B P @Bradster69 Sep 4, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Romas M @Romas Aug 22, 2026 Greetings from Lithuania. "Vampires" (1998) is a movie directed by John Carpenter, and for me this was his last good film. I enjoyed this semi-wester vampire flick back in the day, and revisited it in 2026 on 4K UHD. This film by the way looks absolutely amazing on 4K. As for the film, this is western, vampire movie that is set in present days, but western genre is written all over it. James Woods and Daniel Baldwin were good in this film. I liked the practical effects which there are quite a lot in this film, and basically no use of CGI. Make up was really good. Music is excellent. Overall, "Vampires" for me is a good genre flick. It is well paced, well acted, very well crafted and it knows exactly what it is and nothing more. Good film.

Highly recommend this movie and being a western . Strap in and enjoy this sick bloody ride. See more Rex K @Rex_Klone May 21, 2026 Definitely not the best special effects and practical effects a movie of this calibre should have been adorned with, but still, it works on a level of mediocrity. The problem with this movie was that it had way too many twists and turns than it should have. Let us take the example of Blade, where the backstories of the villains aren't deliberately hidden or falsified for the sake of dramatic effects. What made the Blade trilogy work was the actions taken by the villains and their subterfuge to defeat or neutralise the protagonist and his team. Making the progression of the story way too obvious, all the while curbing the ability of massive subterfuge the other side characters could have been subjected to, to hinder the mission of James Woods' character, premature eradication of the entire vampire hunting team, reduced screentime and dialogues of the Father of Vampires, all of this led to a weak storyline and the eventual fall of a movie that could have evolved into a franchise.
