05.13.06Netflix Wanted to watch this again because it's set in the desert... well, sort of set in the desert. When I first saw this, I was somewhat dispapointed. Looking back, I think that disappointment came from the fact that the entire slayer team is effortlessly cut to shreds 10 minutes into the movie. I really don't like that... the first Mission: Impossible did that too... Those supporting characters are like horror movie gold.. people like them then get sad when they die... like in The Thing. Seeing this again though and knowing that all those guys aren't long for this world... I liked it a bit better. It's like a precursor to Blade but their bullets don't have UV or silver or whatever in them so they just waste bullets until they stake them or drag them into sunlight. Aside from that though, I like this... I like how it's basically a western badass vs. vampires... Daniel Baldwin... Cheryl Lee even though she's pretty... yeah I still don't think it's Carpenter's best but it's ok...
