Negative Space: vampire
- Blade
- The best modern vampire movie I’ve seen, this is not a horror movie at all: it’s an adventure, related as much to comic books as to movies. And it’s almost an early “screen test” for “The Matrix”, related to “The Matrix” through “Dark City” and Hong Kong action films. This is an action film. You know right from the first scene that this movie is here to show asses being kicked.
- Salem’s Lot
- When this movie came out in 1979 I missed seeing it, although I had enjoyed the book immensely. I was, honestly, just plain too scared to see it “live” on screen. The book was scary enough. Perhaps it would have been frightening then, I don’t remember myself well enough (I do remember sleeping with a cross after reading the book). It is not very frightening now.
