THE: Vampire Hunter

My thesis film: THE: Vampire Hunter written, directed, and produced by yours truly.

There can be only one!

The other day, I was cruising around the internet and I read a reference to the Highlander series. I realized, me being the geek that I am, I had never actually seen the first Highlander movie. I saw most of it with friends, but we didn't pay any attention to it. I had seen the third movie in theaters when I was ten years old, and I remember distinctly thinking "This is the coolest thing I have ever seen! I have absolutely no idea what is going on". To this day I haven't seen the movie again, and I still have no clue what happened in that movie.

So here we are, and I have this blog. I figure I'll spend the next five days watching ALL five Highlander movies, and reviewing each one on this blog.

So, diving into the depths of madness that is the Highlander franchise I may as well watch the TV series too. And thanks to Hulu it has the entire series online.

Why am I doing this?

Boredom, and a desire to do something with this blog that's not completely random movie reviews.

So, expect a review of the first Highlander sometime this week, the second next week and so on.


So to close this post I ask my readers this one question: Can you name any other film franchise that has spawned: 4 sequels, 2 live action TV series, an animated series, and an anime feature film? The closest I can think of is RoboCop, but I'm not sure.

Now remember everyone; in the end there can be only one!

Well hello

Welcome to Vampire Explosion! My ramblings about everything that interests me regarding film, television, and popular culture. I just reviewed Starship Troopers 3. I'll try to keep this thing updated with my ramblings once a month maybe more. Since this is my first time posting here, you get not one, but two postings for the price of, well, whatever the hell your internet provider is charging you.


What the hell is up with 2008? I'm calling it right now, 2008 has been one of the best years for movies in recent memories. Not only are we getting really good quality blockbusters; The Dark Knight and Tropic Thunder. We're getting some great indies as well like The Wackness.

But what we've been getting this year are also some really cool B-Movie genre mashups. We started with Neil Marshall's Doomsday, and here are some upcoming flicks I'm excited for:

Babylon A.D. starring Vin Diesel




This looks a lot like Children of Men but less Blade Runner, and more Chronicles of Riddick. But, hey French sci-fi is tons of fun.

Outlander starring John Hurt, Ron Perlman, and James Caviezel.



A human hunting an alien monster lands in some Nordic country and there are vikings! Pulpy and silly? Yes. Entertaining as hell? Looks like it could be.

Mutant Chronicles starring Ron Perlman, Thomas Jane, and Devon Aoki.



This is another digital backlot flick(like Sky Captain, and Sin City). A Retro future war movie involving mutants and some sort of religious cult based off of the RPG of the same name. I'll be reviewing this next month!
