Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

GreenLanthorn Slow place but great acting which makes this Vampire tale interesting and enjoyable to watch. Vampire 1979 had all of the classic vampire traits one would expect, except the fangs, considering of course one likes classic vampire mythology and not modern versions which in my opinion fail to do justice to vampires themselves. Come on, if someone told you they saw a vampire, would you believe them?

sociologydude-1 This was a "real" vampire movie. I liked it when I first saw it in '79 and I like it more now. Lynch captures a vampire that is cultured, charismatic, vulnerable, and still human. He collects rare art! As the film progresses we learn this vampire is also evil, materialistic, vengeful, exploitative, selfish, and classically Evil with a capital "E". This movie thoughtfully updated elements of Stoker's conceptualization of the vampire without losing those classical elements that makes it an interesting tale. Acting is excellent and casting great. I had hoped this would be made into a series... but, oh well. A few producers of modern vampire movies could learn something by watching this. My video copy is coming apart - so when is this thing coming on on DVD already?

Kevin Brown This was a great movie. It stars Richard Lynch who gives an outstanding performance as the vampire,it also stars the guy who played "Father Karras" in "The Exorcist" who also does a great job. This movie clicks on all levels,story as well as acting. If it were available on dvd or tape,I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately I believe the only way to ever see it is on late,late night tv but if you can catch it,I highly recommend you watch it. You'll be glad you did,it's how vampire movies should be done.

death gun I can't believe that there are 10 people giving this c**p a 10. This is a very boring movie. This movie has the title vampire, so what would you expect: sharp teet, spooky eyes, good effects, gore and lots of blood. This movie has absolutely nothing of these things. If you wanne see this movie and your expecting something like "from dusk till dawn" or "near dark" or "the lost boys" -all fabulous vampire movies- then you'll be wrong and you will be watching a boring drama.
