Everything Twilight Is Not
14 October 2011
Before Twilight we still had the forbidden vampire/human love....but thankfully there was no sparkling and there was blood....lots of it. Vampires did what they were supposed to do....kill.

Innocent Blood is a surprisingly interesting take on this notion. A peaceful female vampire who only feeds on the blood of the evil and a police officer after her after a high profile murder come together to face a common foe.

LaPaglia I always refer to as the poor mans Bill Pullman since they always remind me of one another, but for the right reasons. He is likable and this is essential for any leading man. Does LaPaglia take this opportunity and run with it? No! But he is entertaining none the less. Its our lady vamp who steals show, her performance is fantastic. She remains feminine and even fragile for most of the film but still maintains an animalistic ferocity that is required for the blood sucker role.

This movie breaks down no walls and is nothing we for the most part haven't seen before but its refreshing, well acted and with a sweet ending.

Its a shame you have to look so hard for other movies including members of the movies cast because most are excellent but badly underused within the industry.
