“One thing I can say about Santa Carla, there is one very negative thing here - all these vampires are damn!” - these words end this film.
So, we rewind everything to the very beginning and press the “play” button!
The film begins, stunning landscapes flash, captions go up against their background. And this is all to the music of the legendary group The Doors, the composition “People Are Strange” sounds and the screen shows representatives of various youth subcultures. Despite the fact that music from the 60s, and the film of the 80s, all this conveys an amazing dual atmosphere, as well as the 60s and 80s, there is still something in common in these eras, it seems Joel Schumacher is caught Everything is so bright and amazing that looks like an idyll, hell, I like the 80s.
A car passes on the screen: a mother and two sons, one of whom is much older than the other. Here it is the city of "Santa-Carla", the guys notice the inscription "Santa-Carla is the capital of the world of murders", which involuntarily postpones the thought of the viewer that the meat grinder should start soon ...
"No, I have not died" - the first remark of the grandfather, after the mother and sons enter the house. Dedok turns out to be a hippie, and the city as a whole reminds Woodstock of the late 60s, and its inhabitants seemed to have gathered at a music festival, and their grandfather’s house is like the hut of H. Thompson from the movie “Where the Buffalo Roams”. All would be nothing if it were not flashing leaflets and photographs "Lost ..", "Wanted ...", etc.
Joel Schumacher amazingly conveyed the atmosphere, yes, such an atmosphere has not been seen in films for a long time - everything is transferred to the viewer quite smoothly, conceptually and not intrusively, all this is actually spun into the main plot - the vampires.
A gang of young vampires are terrorizing a small provincial town. Consequently, people begin to disappear. The eldest of the brothers gets acquainted with the gangsters and joins them in the gang, then the most interesting begins ...
Make-up and special effects at the height, good cinematography, directing - the master's hand is felt, and the soundtrack - have not heard for a long time the atmosphere “sound” so perfectly conveying the atmosphere.
The film definitely deserves attention. An excellent game, even then, few friends of Kiefer Sutherland would not leave indifferent lovers of good atmospheric cinema.
My verdict is 7 out of 10
