And yet I liked this movie in a perverse way. At times it was just too gory for my tastes and yet the gore wasn't totally gratuitous and yes it was preachy, but I thought the story that went with the long monologues actually scratched at some truth about the human condition. And of course there are some sexy nude shots, but again they all work together.
The Tony character gets more screen time than I would like, but then he was also the writer so you know he was going to get a juicy part.
The most annoying and least helpful character was the Russian Vampire Sakkara. While the others may have been unlikable they were watchable and had some purpose moving the story forward. Sakkara was wooden and over the top reminding me of some of my college friends who were into "Drama, Darling" and lived life as though they were Sara Bernhardt.
Never the less the film is better than it's detractors say and worth a spin. It is fun and campy at times, gory and creepy at others, but always with some intelligence even in the crazy Paisley lies a bit of truth that we might otherwise deny.
