John Carpeting Horror, which almost got the NC-17 rating

Although referred to as “vampires”, ” The film was also released as “Vampire John Carpenter”, “ Which conveyed an excessive directive vision of the type that was drained and revived several times. The expectations associated with the film were somewhat positive, given the Carpeter record of making strong and mobile stories that were equipped with a wonderful social comment.

However, the 1998 “vampires” is nothing in terms of depth, which turned his work in the tumor into only The point of conversation soon from its release. I must confirm that there is nothing wrong with that at all The carpenter was more than happy to highlight (via San Diego Union Tribune):

“I pushed things to the maximum because this is what this movie calls. I pushed violence in every scene, and pushed it up.”

This is true, as the appearance of the first vampires, Valek (Thomas ian Griffith), immediately increases the risk (literally), prompting Crowe and its crew to kill customs of vampires to reach it. Just like Crow is the Apex Hunter, Valek is Predator Apex, who is joking his victims to its bodies without regret, now impatiently in search of Christian remains that will turn it into Daywalker. Crowe cannot let this happen, of course, so it is indulged in the rush battles that are revealed as one does in the western, and the only difference between the abundant amount of blood and the courage left in this process.

Unfortunately, some of these scenes were too much for the American MPA (MPAA), which prompted a carpenter to trim some bloodshed to avoid NC-17 classification. For every Sandy King (also Carpenter’s wife), a few scenes have been shortened to avoid a tougher classification, because “they do not want to destroy the movie and spoil its rhythm.”

As a result, the “vampires” is a completely violent dust that puts its terrifying bloodshed creatures, without resorting to any kind of complexity or romance. While the film definitely diminishes compared to the best of the carpenter, it is still a good time.
