Starring Lili Taylor. Directed by Abel Ferrara. It's at this point that 99 percent of all vampire movies collapse.
Vampires are as boring as drug addicts.
They do the same thing every day. The script was written by longtime Ferrara collaborator Nicholas St. John. The picture has the urgency, sincerity and strangeness of a story that spilled out feverishly, with unconscious import. Taylor is superb as the student who doesn't know what evil really is until she becomes it herself. Of course, Ferrara is not only willing to look evil in the face, he's willing to shove it in your face.
