A different take on the vampire genre...

Given my life-long love of the horror genre, of course I opted to sit down and watch the 2024 movie "Drained", here in 2025, as I had the opportunity to do so. All I knew about it was that it was a vampire movie of sorts. So I didn't really have any expectations to the movie. So in a way, I suppose that directors Peter Stylianou and Sean Cronin had every opportunity to entertain and impress me with their movie.Writer Peter Stylianou put together an adequate script and storyline. It was definitely a different take on the vampire genre, in comparison to many generic and formulaic vampire movies out there. I will say that I was definitely adequately entertained throughout the course of the movie.While I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, I will say that I found the acting performances in the movie to be good. I was especially impressed with leading actor Ruaridh Aldington, because he carried the movie quite well.The effects in "Drained" were fair. It was not a movie that relied heavily on a galore of special effects in order to tell its story.While "Drained" was a watchable movie, it hardly is a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing, though.My rating of "Drained" lands on a five out of ten stars. I enjoyed the different take on the vampire genre that directors Peter Stylianou and Sean Cronin went for.

Its more than just draining blood.

This story line is more than just blood sucking vampires. When the one you love drains the life out of you how far will you go before you drain the life out of the person you love. What will you do when you have nothing left to give.What will you do for love.Filmed in and around London, great to see some iconic locations.This film is moving and relatable. With the micro budget, the music used in the film really adds to the thrill. Love the choice of artists used in the film.Great cast, great story line. Drags a little towards the end. There is space for a sequel l. Let's hope there's more to come.

The Modern Vampire Story

I really enjoyed this modern take on the vampire genre. None of the stodgy-old-Count- Dracula-in-a-far-off-castle tropes. The "young" vampiress is just trying to keep going - yep needs blood - finds her victims in a nightclub - they get hooked on her, all set against a London landscape. The actor who played Thomas was phenomenal - his torture was well handled in his soulful, suffering eyes. Gritty, romantic, fab acting, humor, that fabulous indy film vibe. How can you go wrong. A MUST WATCH. Only downsides: wish the mom had more story, and a tad more subtlety with the copious bloodsucking sequences (a bit "overkill" :-) )
