A classic vampire tale
I'm rather ashamed to admit that I've never seen this film, and I've only been prompted to watch it now after having read the book recently.

As vampire tales go, I'd be inclined to say this is one of the classics and definitely one of the better vampire films I've seen even considering it's age. It has a great gothic and chilling feel to it, and has a very interesting plot. It has some slightly dodgy CGI moments but fortunately due to it's age relies more on some rather decent physical effects. There's a great cast in this, although I'm rather polarised on their performances. Tom Cruise seems a little too OTT yet Brad Pitt seems too reserved, even considering Louis's character.

This film also does a decent job of adapting the book. The book I found rather long winded at times and the film helps summarise the main story without being too drawn out. Although there were a few times when it felt like the film had missed out a little too much of the detail.

Overall this is a decent daptation of the book and a worthy example of a great vampire flick.

We're still a good 6 years or so before the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) here.

Before Comic book movies became the big thing they are nowadays.

Wesley Snipes returns, here, as the titular half-human/half-vampire ("all of their strengths. None of their weaknesses. Except the thirst") waging his ongoing war on the vampire nation, but now finding himself having to 'team up' with some from that nation - who had been training to hunt him - in order to fight a new breed of vampire, the Reapers (whose mouth looks like something out of Predator), who feed on both Vampires and Humans alike and who are led by that-bloke-from-Bros.

This is both more comic-booky (to coin a phrase) than the original, whilst also a bit more of a horror film - those Reapers are nasty!
