Storia
Vampires (1998), directed by John Carpenter, follows a team of vampire hunters tasked by the Church to find and destroy a powerful master vampire named Valek who seeks an ancient crucifix that would allow vampires to survive in sunlight. Led by Jack Crow, a former priest whose parents were killed by vampires, the team consists of crow enthusiast Katrina, who serves as bait due to her blood type; Antonio, a Mexican vampire hunter; and Father Adam Guiteau, a Church representative with an agenda of his own regarding the crucifix. As they track Valek through New Mexico, Crow's thirst for revenge against Valek grows stronger while navigating his complex relationship with Katrina.
Riassunto
'Vampires' is a 1998 action-horror film directed by John Carpenter, based on the novel 'To Die Would Be an Adventure' by John Steakley. The movie blends horror and western elements, following vampire hunters as they battle ancient bloodsuckers in modern-day New Mexico. While the story primarily revolves around Jack Crow's revenge against Valek for his parents' deaths, it also explores themes of faith, redemption, and the blurred line between good and evil, represented by Crow's struggle with his thirst for vengeance and his evolving feelings towards Katrina.
