The myth of the bloody creatures at night seems to be a strange strange, on the sunny land of the Old West. Again, the U.S. border is as dense as the stories of the undead tribes that plague European villages and sparked one of the typical monsters of the 19th century. The mix of these myths reminds of a horror that thrives in untimely situations, but also finds a terrible commonality in the themes of violence, revenge, greed and curse. Most importantly, mixing and matching makes a great time.
Although a large number of weird Westerners abound (including everything from science fiction, horror and sour Westerners), vampire Westerners are few, and not all drive the stakes all the way. and Ryan Coogler‘ sinner On the way to the cinema, a new sight of the vampire myth of the 1930s Louisiana seems to have a place in the niche. There seems to be devils, blues music and old-fashioned vampires, with one Bravo River– Takes the key to the story like a deadlock. Like many of the best vampire westerners, it may not be set in the plains and sedans of the Old West, but this setup is undoubtedly Western.
A nice help from the Old West Vampire Cinema is already there to satisfy the strongest offenders as we wait for more bleeding on the big screen. These are 5 products that come together.
The Curse of the Undead (1959)
It all starts here. This universal picture making is the earliest example of the destruction caused by vampires through the Old West, which makes use of the classic mix Dracula The structure of western flavor. The all-black gunners searched everywhere for land and the young woman mysteriously died of unknown diseases. When Dolores Carter (Kathleen Crowley) Losing her father and brother, she quickly blames the local rancher for asking for her land, a man named Buffer (Bruce Gordon). Drake Robey is looking for a killer to avenge her familyMichael Pate) Complete the work. The truth is, Robey is a vampire who occupies the lives of young women in the town and is also responsible for the death of his father. Now, he tries to claim Dolores is his bride. But the local missionary and Dolores’ suitor Dan (Eric Fleming) See Robey’s dark soul and start proving that he is more than just a simple killer.
The Curse of the Undead It is a slim and moody vampire west that relies heavily on the atmosphere and the traditional conflict between Western cinemas. It also takes advantage of the unique image provided by the fusion of genres: Robey’s dark horse shot in slow motion on the land under the moonlight, Robey had a showdown in the salon, where Robey killed the bullet again, but still maintained a wonderful climax duel, where the shadow of the vampire tracks his encounter with the shadow of the cross on the walls of Western towns. It provides an interesting and trait-like explanation for the existence of a vampire and introduces a way to deal with a vampire, which has been copied several times in other biometrics. A solid B-movie that gives Western hope of excitement and horror.
Near the darkness (1987)
although The Curse of the Undead In front of anyone else, fusing vampires and cowboys together, the reality is that it is still the forgotten gem in the genre. Therefore, when looking for the best vampire westerners, horror fans will enthusiastically point out this Kathryn BigelowCult classic Near the darkness. When the box office was first released, Near the darknessThe basic setting is pure western pulp. Kaleb (Adrian Pasdar) Meet a beautiful young girl, Mei (Jenny Wright), after a pleasant night, he bit him and turned him into a vampire. When Caleb begins to feel the horrible effects of transformation, May and her adopted vampire family bring him into him, allowing him to live only if he has the ability to take care of himself. But hunting humans for food is a difficult ordeal for Kaleb, and multiple groups would rather see Kaleb die than prosper into a vampire.
Vampire Group at the Center Near the darkness,Depend on James Cameron Favorite Lance Henriksen,,,,, Bill Paxtonand Jenette Goldsteinwith newcomers Joshua John Milleressentially, is the illegal gang of Westerners. Living for the excitement of murder, they represent the kind of incapable person who distrusts the new members of the gang and want to see him prove himself a ruthless killer like them. But, as it happens in many classic Westerners, the life of an unlawful person is too much for some. Bigelow uses beautiful and desolate western landscapes to bring her theme home, focusing on barren desert lands and oil pump fields as a backdrop to the loneliness and violent life of the eternal vampire. Near the darkness The obvious highlights of the threatening performances of Paxton and Henriksen were also a terrible and bloody time. Paxton’s current classic bar slaughter offers a modest amount of dark humor and the horror violence the film is famous for.
From dusk to dawn (1996)
Another major example of Western themes and conflicts occurring in the most unlikely places, From dusk to dawn Probably the craziest entrance to the vampire western classic. Written Quentin Tarantino And directed Robert RodriguezThis story simply shows: Bank robber brothers Seth and Richie Gecko (George Clooney and Tarantino were looking for a way to escape to Mexico after picking up the bank and killing some people on the way. They took a family hostage and rode along the RV to the border, hoping to cross a strip club in Mexico, called the “Titty Twister.” Former Pastor Jacob (Harvey Keitel) and his son Scott (Ernest Liu) and daughter Kate (Juliette Lewis) form unwilling smugglers, and because trouble seems to follow the gecko brothers, they must unite to fight a group of vampire strippers.
The influence of the West is clear, because a small group of heroes and the army of Everdel is a story as old as the times. But it is a truly unique way to lure cyclists and truckers for feeding purposes. From dusk to dawn Tarantino’s tense script and infinite darkness and quirky sense of humor, which benefited a lot. Clooney’s Twitchy Badass Seth is undoubtedly one of his greatest contributions to the performing arts, with the priest of Harvey Keitel accompanying the Crisis of Faith, his best character with other iconic Tarantino creations. Rodriguez’s bombing operation orchestration Robert Kurtzman,,,,, Greg Nicoteroand Howard BergerJust to capture this cult classic, its bloody and makeup effects are the reasons. from Howard Hawks‘ Rio Bravo and Fred Zinnemann‘ noon,,,,, From dusk to dawn Perhaps the most cited vampire West, proudly taking advantage of the fear and tension of those classic Western classics and taking them all away with a few bloody steps. No movies is worth the attention to details and personality work From dusk to dawn have. certainly, Salma HayekJust dance to watch.
John Carpenter’s Vampire (1998)
Talking about Howard Hawks and Rio Bravo,,,,, John Carpenter No stranger to the director and his nervous work. His breakthrough films essentially modernize the classic Western Attack Zone 13 (1976), it is natural that carpenters will return to the Western type while adding some supernatural elements. vampireadapted from a novel John Steakleytells the story of a group of Vatican-approved vampire hunters who have been wiped out by a very powerful vampire, after a night of hard vampires, almost completely.Thomas Ian Griffith). It depends on survivor Jack Crow (James Woods) and Tony Montoya (Daniel Baldwin) Track Valek and take revenge, in the process, also hope to stop Valek’s evil final plan.
Rough, mean, violent, bloody and all-round bad guys, vampire It is one of the last great carpenter movies. Directors go all out and make the most of the allocated budget. The makeup effect is disgustingly bloody, Valek cuts people in half with his bare hands, and the vampire holds a piece of his neck instead of politely sucking. Although the character’s motivation is simple, it’s an inner film with weight in the action. It was a faulty masculinity, but this masculinity paved the way for a heartfelt and brotherly relationship between Woods and Baldwin. Double Peaks Sheryl Lee Although she hopes she is a stronger character throughout the process, his role is small but important. However, when showing the power of the vampire, the carpenters did not have any fists, and people flew away from their clicks and necks easily, sewing them easily. Western-style towns and deadlocks abound, and in the church, a particularly bloody first-person massacre. It’s classic good and evil western frolic and has a lot of biting.
From dusk to dawn 3: The daughter of a man (1999)
This may be a controversial option, but as mentioned earlier, unfortunately, there are very few successful vampires in the West. From dusk to dawn The series is not only a worthy follow-up to the original, but it is also an interesting and unabashed Westerner. Not to mention that this also brought the vampire’s action back to the old west itself. It seems like the franchise won’t get crazy, it starts with real writers Ambrose Bierce (Play with demonic wit Michael Parks) Look for Pancho Villa in Mexico to follow and report on his exploitation in the Mexican Revolution. Meanwhile, Johnny MadridMarco Leonardi) set to hang, but save at the last minute. He carried the daughter of the slinger with him (Ara Celi), which prompted the hang trafficker himself (Morrison Temuera) set out and hunt down Madrid and his daughter. They all gathered in a secluded brothel in the middle of the desert called “La Tetilla del Diablo” (“The Devil’s Tit”) and vampire chaos.
Obviously not as good as the original From dusk to dawn But higher than the second part (From dusk to dawn 2: Texas blood money), this prequel brings back everything people love from the original: a lot of blood and blood, characters with huge personalities, a baroque action suit, and of course a bar filled with naked women. Someone can say, “What else do you want?”, but Revoked daughter Thankfully, going further, adding some real character work, especially with Leonardi’s Johnny Madrid, who seems to be upset when one wants to follow in his footsteps (Jordana Spiro) lists all the horrible things he does. Rebecca Gayheart and Lennie Air They are also fully committed to their performances due to newly married Christian missionaries who have been forced to experience extremes of Western violence. Sônia BragaThe existence of any movie is always a gift, and she likes to play a sneaky vampire demon. Of course, it may be From dusk to dawn if Danny Trejo Not his bad guy behind the bar. The quality of the drawing and makeup effects (and some fake CGI) does hurt the overall damage of the film, but there is enough creepy production design, solid vampire action, and even pleasing original fan twists to make it worth it.
