You may consider this one of John Carpenters not so good movies, but even if it's on the bottom list it's far from bad. The story is a little week but is still good enough to keep you interested. The characters are good and also very funny at times. James Woods as Crowe the leader of a vampire slaying group is just excellent and also very funny. Tim Guinee as Father Adam Guiteau, was my favourite in this movie, I think I'd spoil the storyline if I told to much about him so I'll just leave it there. Daniel Baldwin and Sheryl Lee must also not be overlooked.
The story basically starts when Crowe's team is killed by a 600 year old vampire, and the only way to find him is by using a girl (Sheryl Lee) that has a mental link to him because he tried to turn her to a vampire. Soon Crow (Woods), Anthony Montoya (Daniel Baldwin) and the newest member Father Adam Guiteau (Tim Guinee) discover that the vampire is the original vampire, the father of them all sort of speak, and he is searching fro an old Catholic artifact than can allow vampire to live in the sunlight.
My only problem with this film was all the gore, a little is okay, but i felt they pushed it to the limit here. no offense, but heads don't fall of that easily. Still even if this is not Carpenters best work it still proved that he weren't quite out of the game yet. This movie still gives good credit to the master of horror. My verdict for this film is 7/10.
