Vampires
Ever since his parents were murdered by vampires, Jack Crow has had one purpose in life: putting stakes through bloodsuckers' hearts. Jack must retrieve an ancient Catholic relic that, should it be acquired by vampires, will allow them to endure sunlight.

You have to hand it to James Woods: He doesn't go out of his way to make himself likeable on screen.

Vampires is an entertaining watch thanks to James Woods's great performance.

Woods is entertaining as badass vampire hunter Jack Crow, but the meanness he exhibits toward his young priest assistant is offensive and completely unnecessary. Still, this is Carpenter's best film since the 1980s ended.

The movie is basically one-note: A vampire is harpooned and dragged out into the daylight where the body instantly explodes into flames. Creativity in action, for sure.

A suspense-free snark-fest desperate to turn its protagonist - vampire slayer Jack Crow (James Woods) - into a Snake Plisskin-style icon of supernatural-badass cool.

All in all, Carpenter does a good job with this stylish and scary vampire movie, giving us a great leading hero and a great villain.

...little more than an excuse to watch people kill each other in the most brutal possible ways.

Very good, very basic, stripped-down film fueled by a bluesy guitar score.

Grungy, disreputable fun -- the kind of blood-and-tequila western that can only be made nowadays when disguised as a horror movie.
