John Carpenter's Vampires - One of the Best Vampire Movies in Recent Memory

John Carpenter's Vampires was an excellent modern vampire film starring James Woods as Jack Crow, the leader of a team of vampire hunters. They stumble into an ambush, and convinced that they were sold out, Crow begins hunting for answers as to what is going on. This is a gritty, intense vampire movie that I highly reccomend.

This was one of the better recent vampire movies, complete with a kick butt anti-hero played by James Woods, a great cast of horrifying yet seductive vampires, and great action that doesn't rely on martial arts. This movie has a dark gritty feel to it as opposed to the polish of say the Blade series or Underworld. Great vampire action flick.

Vampires is Awesome! I Dare You to Disagree.

One of the best vampire movies of the last twenty years.

John Carpenter's Vampires is a great movie!

A great modern vampire film

Genre:
Horror

Directed by:
John Carpenter

Vampires (also known as John Carpenter's Vampires) is a horror movie that was released in 1998. This is loosely based on the novel of the same title by John Steakley.

This movie stars James Woods as Jack Crow, leader of a Catholic Church-sanctioned team of vampire hunters. The plot goes around Jack Crow's running into a vampire master, Valek, who knows Crow's name, leading him to believe that something is badly amiss.

Valek slaughters almost every man on his team, and the survivors must figure out what is going on. They find out that there is a mystical black cross that must not fall into their hands, or the world will be in serious trouble.

This is a fantastic movie, gritty and dark. The vampires manage to be seductive, yet terrifying. This is one of the better true vampire films to come out from the last twenty years.
