Forget everything you've ever heard about vampires, warns Jack Crow (James Woods), the leader of Team Crow, a relentless group of mercenary vampire slayers. When Master Vampire Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) decimates Jack's entire team, Crow and the sole team survivor, Montoya (Daniel Baldwin), set out in pursuit. Breaking all the rules, Crow and Montoya take one of Valak's victims hostage.
The beautiful but unlucky prostitute (Sheryl Lee) is their sole psychic link to Valek, and through her senses they will track down the leader of the undead. As Valek nears the climax of his 600-year search for the Berbers Cross, Jack and the new Team Crow do everything humanly possible to prevent him from possessing the only thing that can grant him and all vampires the omnipotent power to walk in the daylight.

A movie with some bite! - 4 out of 5 (12/6/2000)
"John Carpenter's Vampires" is a very interesting hybrid of modern day western and horror film. It doesn't take the usual route of Carpenter horror films and that might have cost it the audience it craved in the theaters.
The film starts with a clever premise. What if the Vampire hunters that worked today were actually hired by the Catholic Church? Moreso, what if they had the ability and the permission to do whatever they had to in order to get rid of the loathsome creatures.

Fangs For The Fun, John!!! - 4 out of 5 (4/8/2001)
Like most genre fans, and those who are particular to the vampire genre, most of the "classic" vampire tales seem to have lost their strength just like their sharp toothed fiends caught in the sunrise. Carpenter however has helped bring some "bite" back! Vampires takes a new step on an old beaten path. Much like the film "Blade" in some respects, Vampires crushes some old vampire cliches which is a welcomed relief.
Beautiful cinematography, great FX by those wonderful wizards in KNB FX, and ev

Die Motherfucker! - 4.5 out of 5 (3/17/2000)
Rocking film and great Comeback by Carpenter who
is back with gory horror in great looking film.
Audio and video quality is great like it is with
all Columbia-Tristar DVDs. The features are not
that great but I don't think that reduces the over-
all quality of the disc. But where the hell is the
fucking photo gallery??
