*** (out of 4)
Short, 55-minute documentary that takes a look at why vampire films are
so popular in cinema. The film takes a look at where the true legend
comes from and then goes into all the films starting with 1922's
Nosferatu and leading up to current films like Underworld and Van
Helsing. If you have the slightest knowledge of film history then
you're not going to learn anything by this film because it's clearly
being made for those who have never seen a vampire movie. John
Carpenter, John Landis, Joel Schumaker and Uwe Boil are among the
people interviewed as they talk about their own films as well as the
ones they enjoyed while growing up. It was nice seeing Carpenter talk
about enjoying various Hammer movies and even the 1931 Lugosi film gets
a lot of talk. For some reason this film almost seems like a
promotional piece for From Dusk Till Dawn, which gets a lot of the
talk. Cheech Marin talks about his roles in that film but the most
interesting thing is seeing him talk about all the Mexican vampire
films made throughout the decades. While there wasn't anything new I
learned here the film still kept me entertained enough to enjoy what I
was watching.
