D-Sligar Regardless of what some of the more culturally-challenged who posted disparaging reviews about this film, it was actually quite interesting and insightful. These reviewers probably cannot see past their own backyards, yet alone the broader sense of a world full of diverse people. How can you judge people for something you cannot understand, even after having it just explained to you? This film will drop you into many different groups and show you what they believe and how they live, it doesn't matter what you believe, they're simply showing you what they believe. The camera was definitely documentary style and there were quite a few shots of strangeness that will leave you with either a laugh or strange thought. All in all, this was a cool film with some interesting fashions and styles. The only question I really had in the end was "What do these people do for a living?" They have to be doing something to afford their lifestyle, but outside of the tattoo artist, what else? Check it out and avoid the disparaging comments as they were probably written by the same type of individual they talking trash about.

omallek2004 What a sad bunch of people this "documentary" represents. They like to play dress ups, are into a bit of S&M. The occasional group leader is interviewed rambling on with a mishmash of spiritual/ new age justification for their play acting. Maybe they are a secret society because they are about as exciting as a bunch of Klingons at a Star Trek convention. Only interesting character was the French man, a genuinely sick criminal who's very short interview strangely highlighted just how shallow the rest of subjects were in this show.If you love the Vampire genre, both in books and film, give this a miss.

morticia2012 Meet Lestat and Count Dracula, oups pardon me, Lord Zillah and Rex Black… Beautifully shot by night, eerie music, Vampyres tells the story of a journalist who stumbles upon a vampiric clan and the investigation that follows. The openness of the vampyres in front of the camera is truly amazing and you understand quite quickly why this movie took few years to shot (I mean just to earn the trust of the so-called children of the night, it must have taken some time). You get to see a side of America not easily seen, another side of the fence where you'd better join a clan of vampyres to keep you off the road to jail. Yes, the blood scene is riveting, but this movie is not exclusively for the gore fan. You' ll keep thinking of this movie and asking yourself questions for days. Only criticism, I wish the movie lasted longer as I didn't want it to end.

inuit14 i saw this kick-ass movie last week here in Paris, and it's great ! We travel from NYC to Italy, from Paris to Japan (i might forget some) and meet, one after the other, people for who, it seems, becoming "vampyres" was the only way to remain human… Weird enough, i know, but no more weird than this crazy world ! Horror fans will have their content of "blood night parties" and other might discover the under-world which they may not suspect… You might be frightened or quite puzzled after seeing the movie, or even full of love for your sunny life and disrespect for their cult… But seeing Vampyres is just like wandering at night, with a bit of curiosity and a strange feeling of uncertainety… Actually, in Vampyres, you may meet both freaks and lords. Will you believe your eyes ?
