Lots of Biting and Crunching

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2018)

(Flash Review)
Every time blood is sucked, there is a cringe worthy crunch sound as the fangs enter the neck or wrist. Much like someone biting into an apple. Shudder. The whole story is told through long interview flashbacks as Christian Slater is conducting the interview, which is sort of funny in its own right, of the protagonist vampire played by Pitt. The stories help to illuminate what life would be like living as a vampire with the pros/cons to eternal life and their daily struggle for survival as well as many mundane parts of life told through two male vampires and a pre-teen girl. It was interesting to see the progression of a man convert into a vampire and his first few days. The new vamp is conflicted with taking lives for his own survival as his mentor shows him the ropes. The two guys transform a little girl with the fatherly need to take care of her. Watch how the vampires progress through time and how their relationships with one another evolve. This felt more authentic than a more typical and modern movie with lots of action and spectacular scenes.
