I have to hand it to Mr. Carpenter; it is really brave of him to release this mess with his full name attached to the title (it aired as "John Carpenter's Vampires). This is, simply put, a s**tload of the most revolting crap in recent history. While there actually are some very bloody Japanese pictures that I enjoyed quite a lot, this film goes way over the top in gratuitous gore. The barely-there story line is an excuse for wanton slaughter, the see-through special effects are ridiculous. The most offensive part, though, is the blatant abuse of both Sheryl Lee's talent and also her character in the movie. Indeed, words fail me.
