ten thousand years...no caulking

Rating: Null/10 (14 January 2004)

(WARNING SPOILER: has nothing to do with the plot, really, but its sorta the end of the movie, so reader beware)
Good movie, on the whole. Other then the "Sliding head" effect that has been too over done in recent years, it was decently done and if nothing else the whole "waking of viktor" thing is enough to make it worth renting. Glad I didn't see it in theaters though. My biggest peeve with it though is the end. You would THINK that after years and years and years (and years and years) of putting to sleep and waking back up these elders that they would have learned to seal the little coffin things they're in. At the very least you don't want mites getting to your sleeping vampire corpse. And with all the sliding and turning and swishing that goes on when one is open it sounded pretty air tight. But...if it's air tight...doesn't it mean it's water tight too? And blood is thicker then water and yet it seeps in. They didn't HAVE to have him wake that way (not that I know how he's going to get out) for the sequel. It just bugged me, that after all this time they couldn't seal a tomb right. But, if you can suspend disbelief (and don't mind a few rather strange errors (vampires walking through, an standing in sunlight, even in the sewers?!) and are a vampire fan, you'll like this, and it has a rather strange twist at the end. Ignore the lack of a good air tight seal and you'll like this movie, for a little entertainment at least.
