Early and modest entry in the Guillermo del Toro cannon. It’s a unique twist on the vampire genre. Considering what kind of movies GDT makes now, this is very low-key, but some decent practical makeup effects. I didn’t grab me as much as I would have hoped; but it’s still worth a look.
I can watch this masterpiece over and over again, and I have. I love the story structure, I love the plot twists and the film is visually breathtaking, amazing cinematography. All star ensemble, cast to perfection. Easily in my Top 25 movies of all-time. The movie is so good, it makes me want to read …

I also remember laughing at a few things that were supposed to be scary; my sense of humour was warped even back …
Schlocky, ’80s fun from legendary horror director, Tobe Hooper. Everything that should make this film terrible actually makes this movie ever so watchable and entertaining. Not as much gore as you’d expect from the director and from its release era. The scariest thing about the movie is the fact that the lead actor’s real name …
