I watched this movie expecting to see a gore, blood and guts slasher vampire movie, but actually what I saw was a love story told in a world of vampires. And even the vampire element isn't what I expected as the characters are literally 'junkies' instead of the supernatural fangs and capes vampires you expect.
I loved the fact that the film challenged me to actually empathise with the vampires by making them tragic, afflicted characters that appealed to my sense of the melancholic. This film is a perfect tragic love story for the goth in you, and whilst I'm not a goth, this film really touched me, which seems bizarre to say because in some areas it is very crude and violent, and there is a lot of blood (very realistic blood) on show. I finished the film feeling a real sense of loss and pain and even now weeks later I can still remember how the climax affected me in so many different ways.
Night Junkies is amazingly original in it's approach, or at least to me it is, and the dark but beautiful relationship between Vincent and Ruby stole my heart. The most beautiful of dark, violent movies!
