Awesome
Having seen this, I recalled that the two most influential vampire novels of the 19th Century, Carmilla and Dracula, were both written by Irishmen. So, what if Vlad Tepes wasn't the inspiration for Dracula? What if vampires could cause people to exude blood merely by their proximity? It is reminiscent of Nosferatu's power to bring plague to a city by his presence. We don't get to see the vampire character much, but we quickly learn what is not effective against him. BTW, what were the severed limbs doing on the counter in the tavern? In any case, I liked this movie for bringing something fresh to vampire cinema lore.
Decent craic 👍
Good stuff! Stiffen that upper lip, cub, we've got a vampire to kill.
I loved this movie. I rarely enjoy vampire movies, but this one has been added to the select few I truly liked watching. Also the scene with the vampire's decapitated head slowly moving across the floor to reattach to its body made me giggle (in a good way)!
