A Brilliant Conflict
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
"Vampires" is a low budget Vampire-Horror movie settled around a university somewhere in the States. There, an ever-young director draws suspicion when more and more of her students die or disappear. As time passes, we learn that her husband once made a powerful invention that stops aging itself and now his wife is on a hunt to collect the positive souls she needs to stay alive and well.As you can probably already tell by now, the plot is one of a typical vampire movie. Whiel we don't really see the stereotypical vampire here, who sleeps in his tomb and stuff, the motives like the innocent, good-looking young girl who gets endangered are quite known by now. The movie manages to create enough tension to prevent it from being boring, so in my opinion this is quite an easy watch if you just want to free your mind. I liked the idea of incorporation of good and evil energy, unfortunately the producers didn't make more out of that concept.All in all I don't have negative feelings towards this film. It is not a very good movie but it serves its purpose and if you are not in the mood for a film classic, this one will be perfectly fine.
VAMPIRES is an exceptionally low budget vampire movie, filmed in 1986. It doesn't make much sense in terms of editing or narrative cohesion. The story is set at a girl's school which hides a very dark secret and the headmistress is involved. If you think this all sounds a bit like SUSPIRIA then you couldn't be further from the truth, because this is very cheap and lacklustre as a result.The film is most notable for starring a middle-aged Duane Jones, he of the instantly recognisable face from his role as Ben in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Jones plays in support as an academic who assists our film's youthful heroine in her quest to uncover the truth. Inevitably, he's the best thing about the production. Otherwise, you get incessantly loud music drowning out the scenes, some nudity, an adequately-realised high school setting, and not much in the way of incident. It's a bit of a time waster, if I'm honest.
