Priest review

Vampire movies nowadays are a case of pop culture vampires...alluring, irresistible and sexy vampires (I’m looking at you “twilight” series). A far cry from the vampires of “30 days of night” which in my opinion is how vampires should be. In-fact even the film versions of Bram Stoker’s famous Dracula (a favourite book of mine) is guilty of the same; portraying the vampire in a similar way although not as puke inducing as the “twilight” series. Credit due to where it it er...due. Every so often films do get things right (as was the case with 30DON”); step up “priest” an average film at best but with the exception of bringing back vampires to the unholy undead and shunned things that they are. Okay, so the story is not really note worthy but for what the story lacks the action and the weapons shown more than make up for it and as for the vampires, they invoke a feeling somewhere between disgust and revolting not to mention nasty. One thing I should mention is religion….yes religion: a topic of interest to most and a topic of controversy to others. However, it is woven into the story in such a way to make it into something that most of us can relate to. There are a few one liners and other lines of dialog that did produce a smirk from me. To sum up I would recommend this to you but I would not go out of my way to find a copy so if you do manage to see this, you’ll enjoy it but the story is nothing to remember.
