365 Days- Day 37

movie: Innocent Blood
starring: Anne Parillaud, Robert Loggia
genre: Crime, Comedy
year: 1992
format: VHS

plot: A female vampire feeds off of a few members of the mob, but fails to kill one of her victims, mob boss Sal.  Sal then goes on a killing spree turning many of his crew into vampires, while an undercover cop tries to stop him along with the female vampire.

I think the metaphor of crime life (is that a real term?) as a vampire (once you're in -you're in for life) is brilliant.  This film sort of balanced on the edge of organized crime stories just before they became their own genre.

I almost want to class this in food movies too, just for the fact that at some point, every character is eating.  (from Mussels in red wine sauce with garlic, to deli sandwiches, to pizza and cold Chinese) It's a running theme throughout the film. (a few scenes take place inside of a restaurant and many outside of an Oyster house) 

The cast in this is jammed with actors who have been in other vampire movies as well, Kim Coates (Red Blooded American Girl, Dracula the Series, The Club) Angela Bassett (Vampire in Brooklyn) Tom Savini (Lost Boys 2 Tribe, From Dusk till Dawn, Martin)

what do i think i learned from this film?
Trust is more then just something you earn, it's something you have to feel.
