Finally! A Decent Horror Film to Enjoy.

In a previous blog I was bemoaning the issue that it had been quite a spell since I had seen a Horror movie that I really enjoyed.  Well, last weekend I rented a German movie that I finally had a darn good time watching.  It wasn't one of the greatest movies, but in a genre that is infested with the same old, same old, it was refreshing.

The movie I speak of is called....

We Are The Night.

I've never been a big, artsy-fartsy fan of foreign films.  I know they have a lot to offer in our artistic culture of film, but I don't cotton well to trying to read subtitles during a movie that is filled to the gills with long stares and awkward silences.  YAWN!

But, I forged on through this film and was pleased I did (I set it on the English audio.  Hee).

From the get go, this film grabs your attention and tells a decent, modern day, vampire story the way it should be told.  And that is with some ass-kickin' and vampires that do little brooding.

The story revolves around a young, street savvy girl who is a small time thief.  Her life drastically changes when she is seduced and plunged into the world of the blood sucking dead.  As she learns the ways of being a part of a sexy, female vampire brood, she also yearns for the human life she left behind.  And of course, it all slowly falls apart.

The Germans did in one film what the Twilight films continue to fail miserably at.  And that's tell a decent, modern day vampire tale.

Sexiness, bloodshed, action sequences are all part of the formula that got my interest level all oozed up into this film.  Sure, there are some sexy vampiresses in this movie.  But, there's also a decent story.

Just check it out for yourselves.  If you like a good vampire story, it's worth it.


Quickly, we are coming to an end of the Halloween season and I have at least one more post for you that will be in the spooktacular vein.  I also may just have another Haunted Attraction review for you.  Cross your fingers.

Until next time, stay vertical!
