Terrible acting. Terrible Dialogue. Terrible story. Terrible effects/pyrotechnics. Terrible makeup. Terrible characters. This movie is a Turd-Sandwich.

Only thing I enjoyed is how the hunters dispose of the vampires....by hooking them up

Only thing I enjoyed is how the hunters dispose of the vampires....by hooking them up to a truck and dragging them outside into the sunlight. I thought that was a clever idea and nice addition to the Vampire genre. The rest of the movie sucked. Pun intended.

When originally seeing this movie I hated it. Revisiting it so many years later I have to say it's even worse than I remember. Most of it's mainly due to an unlikable performance from James Woods (The Getaway) and a terribly writtenWhen originally seeing this movie I hated it. Revisiting it so many years later I have to say it's even worse than I remember. Most of it's mainly due to an unlikable performance from James Woods (The Getaway) and a terribly written character. Poor Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks Fire walk with me) gets thrown around, punched, slapped and stripped. She doesn't even have a character and the blatant misogyny made me feel very uncomfortable. Than there's The other Baldwin brother Daniel who has some overly mediocre moments but the character is just so badly written. Only Thomas Ian Griffith as the head vamp and Tim Guinee as Father Adam offer any real likability, charisma or depth. And as for the film itself. It's pretty much a disaster. It tries to be a sort of biker vampire flick. Its mean spirited but lacks any real engagement and because of that its boring and you could just care less. A definite dark spot in Carpenter's accomplished career.

Budget: $20m
Box Office: $20m
