Vampires: Los Muertos (2002)
Better than I had expected, especially since the star was JBJ
The original Vampires (1998) is one of my favorites. I was curious to see how a sequel would work considering they used none of the original characters. I was quite surprised at how this played out. As a rule, sequels are never as good as the original, with a few exceptions. Though this one was not a great movie, the writer did well in keeping the main themes & vampire lore from the first one in tact. Jon Bon Jovi was a drawback initially, but he proved to be a half-way decent Slayer. I doubt anyone could top James Wood's performance in the first one, though... unless you bring in Buffy!
All in all, this was a decent watch & I would watch it again.
I was left with two questions, though... what happened to Jack Crow & how did Derek Bliss come to be a slayer? Guess we'll just have to leave that to imagination.
Vampires (1998)
Blood, gore, vampires & slayers... Bloody great fun!
In a long list of vampire movies that have been made over the years, this one gets my vote as the most fun. Let's get real, vampire hunting cowboys can't be anything but fun. James Woods & Daniel Baldwin contribute sexy sarcasm to this twist on vampire themes.
If you like movies that take gory to the extreme, with a comic twist, then this movie is for you. Definitely a must see for any fan of vampire movies.
