A new generation of vampire horror, minus the horror, and a generation possibly out of the "Twilight Zone" is here. The stage is easily set; a gaggle of freaks and two kids are at war with one another because the script tells them to fight. Granted, I do like the premise of tapping people like kegs, but I am not Hannibal Lechter and I can find much better ways to spend my time.
Rather than finding any way to make money at the consumer’s expense, why not actually put together a quality film based off of a unique and creative concept? At a bare minimum, at least find a way to piece this together effectively and have a premise, a plot and some character development? I like spiders, I like Vampires, some sweaty fat guy likes us both and keeps following us, that is reason enough to rush to a police station! Why was Willem Defoe in this film? Did he have a bad mushroom trip and wind up on the wrong stage set?
I think the creepiest part of the entire movie was Selma Hayek growing a beard when she got aroused. That changed my dreamscape forever, let me tell you. Under the horizon of Twilight and now Cirque du Freak, I find myself wanting something more. Maybe there is more to my life than being an educated human. Maybe I too will go where no man has gone before. Maybe I will spend $9.00 on a small stale popcorn and $11.00 on a bottle of water to see another film. Maybe I will sit down on the urine crusted bathroom stall with the backed up toilet. Maybe I will watch this film listening to people talk on their cell phones and a fat man breathing hot dog breath sitting behind me when there are 200 empty seats remaining across the room; and then it dawned on me, the theater was nearly empty because I was one of the only suckers to waste time seeing this film.
