In some ways nothing much happens during the entire fucking movie. No real action scenes. No great chase scenes, nothing blows up, no rabid vampire-killers tracking down the vampires.
But there’s an eerie quality to the entire movie. Post-modern, depressed vampires existing in an age of ecocide. They turn to books, and music.
Theres some interesting, eerie, long night-scenes of the capitalist-wastelands of Detroit. There are also scenes that take place in Tangiers.
The vampires in the film call humans ‘zombies’ because of the brain-dead behavior of humanity. Destroying the water, the ecosystem, etc. Drinking human blood is dangerous in this late-capitalist, poisoned, toxic age.
Tilda just looks awesome as a vampire, btw. Visually stunning.
Interesting movie. Worth a watch, for sure. The trailer is awful as per usual, so i just posted a tilda interview with henry rollins.
