      A return to the classic vampire image

      When the superstructure is mastered by vampires, when blood is not added to the coffee shop, when humans are treated as rare food and kept in captivity...
            Some of the pictures are bloody, but I personally think that the setting of vampires has returned to the classic era, Human beings are food for vampires, either as human beings become one of the few in the world to fight against centralization; or as vampires facing increasingly scarce food resources and waiting to become zombies,...

      If there is such a day.

      The concept of this movie is relatively novel. The general vampire movies are about how vampires hide themselves in human society, but inadvertently reveal their identity, which is a more tangled type. And this film does the opposite, envisioning a society with only vampires. Humans, on the other hand, can only be raised in captivity to supply them with blood. It can be considered a harmonious society if it is like this, but there are fewer and fewer human beings, so there is a huge gap in the...

      Conflict between dreamism and realism


              I glanced at the film review before watching it, and there was one sentence that caught my attention, "It's time for vampires to return to their ugly images of wings, pointed ears and bloody mouths." But there's not much ugliness in the film, and the protagonist is still handsome and beautiful.

           Whether vampires should be beautiful or ugly, of course I can't answer. But this is obviously a matter of what the benevolent sees the wise, unless you can travel across to...

      Like index: ★★★★

      As a vampire movie, it is so connotative that it is so profound that the likes of "Underworld" and "Twilight" are not worthy of his shoes. Seeing the texture of the film at first glance will make you believe that this is a good film. Although it still has logical loopholes and regrets that it lacks big scenes for those who are keen on details, the special relationship between blood supply and demand among vampires, stalkers, and humans reflects the inferiority of human nature and the ugliness...

      human = poultry

      This title is what I felt halfway through the movie, raising people, drawing blood, and giving them to vampires. I shuddered, the image of vampires in my heart was as beautiful as Twilight, and after reading this, I couldn't help shuddering. One of my teachers once asked me a question: There are many ghosts, zombies, and demons in history. Ah, however, vampires are indeed a very complex existence. Have you ever thought about what kind of psychology the existence of vampires represents? At that...

      Come out with a 2, it's quite a change. The Russian dubbing is very dedicated, all the voices are dubbed, the company that appears in English, everything is read in Russian, the production company at the beginning and the end of the film, the director and actors are all read in Russian, so great. . . . Not being able to make a good movie with good dubbing is not bad, not like...

      The concept is good, but the screenwriter lacks roots and has problems with logical thinking. So many vampires don't all want to become human, you have a CURE top hair for it. Everyone is afraid of dying and becoming a vampire, but if they become human, they will die again. Why do you have to say that they chose the wrong one, just because you are in a disadvantaged state of being...

      And look in vain. I remember when the two of us were buying, the boss said that this movie about vampires was quite new. Come back and have a look, well, it's quite new. Still doing well. Just kind of...

      How did Ethan Hawke become like this. . Yes, it is better to shoot. The proposition is a bit big and difficult to control. The first half is dull + small unfinished tail [Actually, the setting can't go on,...

      Fortunately, how bloody, Ethan-kun, although you ignore Uncle's figure, your yellow-eyed literary eyes are still very melancholy, but please watch the movie go on. The two teams gnawed each other and the reversible bite method was one...

      Elvis: Living in a world where vampires are the dominant species is about as safe as bare backing a 5 dollar whore.

    • Charles Bromley: Do you like being a vampire?

      Frankie Dalton: Yes, sir.

      Charles Bromley: Why?

      Senator Westlake: Let's be clear about this. Humans were offered a chance to assimilate, but they refused. Therefore, they are enemies of the state and will be captured and farmed for blood supply.
