take me to the feeling
Clearly I missed this thread first time around. Films I like so far:
Near Dark
Cronos
Blood: The Last Vampire
I seem to remember enjoying Innocent Blood, but it's been a while.
Interview With A Vampire is shit, same as the execrable book from whence it came.

I'm trying to see every vampire film ever made. I am now really at the dregs. I am sure there are some wonders out there still, but I am watching some bloody awful films!
Talking of The Witches Hammer, according to MJ Simpson, who is apparently 'the UK's leading genre* critic', The Witches Hammer is 'a corking horror/action movie which oozes professionalism' and 'anyone who loves independent horror movies will get a kick out of this one.'
It begins as a poorly acted action film weak of plot and quickly develops a silly side. The silly side takes over and is eclipsed by absolute stupidity. A must see for fans of films that shouldn't have been made but were.
*that's crap films is it?
