SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

GazerRise Fantastic!

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

D-Sligar Regardless of what some of the more culturally-challenged who posted disparaging reviews about this film, it was actually quite interesting and insightful. These reviewers probably cannot see past their own backyards, yet alone the broader sense of a world full of diverse people. How can you judge people for something you cannot understand, even after having it just explained to you? This film will drop you into many different groups and show you what they believe and how they live, it doesn't matter what you believe, they're simply showing you what they believe. The camera was definitely documentary style and there were quite a few shots of strangeness that will leave you with either a laugh or strange thought. All in all, this was a cool film with some interesting fashions and styles. The only question I really had in the end was "What do these people do for a living?" They have to be doing something to afford their lifestyle, but outside of the tattoo artist, what else? Check it out and avoid the disparaging comments as they were probably written by the same type of individual they talking trash about.

shilrah A lot of the comments written for this title are ridiculous. This is a documentary about vampyres, people that have chosen a certain way of live. Not a cheesy Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode. It's like comparing Starship Troopers to Bowling For Columbine. And it's obvious the point of the film has missed a lot of people by miles, which is a shame, because, despite of how they may dress or whatever they call themselves, with this film these people offer an exclusive look into a world full of valuable lessons for everyone. But prejudice and associating vampyres with all the wrong things will certainly blind you from them. But for those who are willing to watch this film objectively it can be very insightful!

Marion88 The movie "Vampyres" which i saw in Valencia will confirm Jamaicans in the idea that Babylon has lost control again: shots of tens of boys and girls, white, black, Puertoricans, dressed up in leather, walking the street of the Queens at night in silence, looking like they came straight out of Walter Hill's The Warriors... until they open their mouths and you make out the canines, the long sharp teeth... the fangs. And then you understand that Blade's children are out on the streets and are multiplying. For the first time I see a film showing the film industry its reflection in the mirror of society. Hey Hollywood horror machine, this is what you do to the people. Not to everybody. No just to the most fragile, socially or psychologically youngsters of America. As in everything there is a good side: calling themselves Lord, Count and Countess, like the old European degenerate vampires of the XIXth century allows these guys to access social status, which society denies them otherwise. A guy who lived in a cardboard box says it: being a Vampyre took him off the streets. He became somebody and found a new dignity. But for the rest. Scary. The blood drinking sequences are very tough. The cannibal guy testimony is one of the scariest I ever came across. By the way how come this guy is not in a hospital, he's the real Hannibal Lecter, did he eat his nurse??? The music reminded me of Goblins at times. Don't watch Vampyres late at night and not by yourself, especially if your skin is white and delicate.

Hatsumi Seeing people with fangs and the vampiric attitude reminds me of my high school when I was Larping ( live-action role playing). Fortunately I outgrew having my fangs glued on running around in a trench coat at night pretending I am a supernatural creature spawned of the devil himself.These people didn't.I don't care of what they are saying about themselves."I am a predator" "It represents how i FEEL inside" Granted they all look fantastic if you are into these aestethical choices, I truly think all of them suffer from a great social awkwardness since they have this urge to distinguish themselves from the rest of humanity, otherwise their shallow personalities might not be enough for a real sense of identity.As the unnamed shop guy with rastas says "It all depends on what kind of vampire you feel you are". This is all just glamor and Hollywood worship. Nothing more than that. Nothing more than a business with scarce customers.Now for the meeting where they distribute territories and everything. It is EXACTLY what we use to do while "Larping" minus the hand gestures, power displays and rock-paper-scissors. To think of it that was very fun and slightly less moronic than actually thinking we were vampires.I have a question for all these people. Are you so insecure about yourself that you have to make sure EVERYBODY KNOWS that you are 'dark' and dangerous? When you probably aren't the child raping cannibal you project.The choice of blood drinking is an odd one but then again it is totally your choice. I just think you'd better make sure that blood isn't infected with some crass disease.But then again your vampiric stomach acids will vampirize them. And for the human sacrifice they rave about? If there is such a thing, it is manslaughter and I don't care "vampire" or not, you deserve to be trialed and put into jail.The documentary in itself is very very ordinary. The music is very generic, the photography is very bland. Agreed that this filmed only at night,still there is no memorable shots. No real structure, just a sloppy overview of the next-gen Gothics. It took three years to film this? I didn't had any sense of that apart from that monotone narrator. I also would have love subtitles instead of cheesy over-acted voiceovers. Definitely a documentary to see only for the people who were or are into Vampiric things.
