I still rate this as one of the better vampire films. |
It's still a favourite Vampire tale for me too, I'm currently re reading the book for the first time in about 20 years, just got past the end of episode one in the book so watched the first hour the other night as i was getting ready to sleep.
I first saw the TV series version as well, probably aged around 10 or so. The cut down theatrical version used to turn up on TV a lot back in the day but as far as i'm aware it's not on dvd or blu.
That's the version i'm most familiar with and although the series is better. there's a few scenes that seem wrong to me, the shotgun scene he gets the guy to put the barrel in his mouth and there's a antler impalation of one guy in the film version.
