Prolific director John Carpenter takes on the vampire genre in his
action-horror film VAMPIRES. Bitter, tough-as-nails vampire hunter
Jack Crow (James Woods) leads a specialized team, funded by no less
than the Vatican, that is dedicated to destroying the race of
vampires that inhabit the earth. The team is successful, and
becomes lazy in its success, eventually falling victim to an
elaborate ambush set up by a powerful master vampire. Crow and two
others of his team are the only survivors, and are determined to
get revenge for the massacre. Carpenter takes the genre to new
heights with powerful action scenes, nifty vampire-killing weapons
and great special effects. James Woods is wonderfully over the top
as the head vampire hunter who has no love for the Vatican and a
mysterious past that is never far behind him. VAMPIRES is based on
the book by John Steakley, adapted for the screen by Don Jakoby.
The score is creepy and powerful, a typical characteristic for a
Carpenter film.
