The V Word Review

Review of The V Word (2006) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

the thirteenth night in the lonesome hooptober day 37 film 32 cats: 0

86/100

a perfectly scaled small story for a neat take on vampires. it's so lean and there's not much to it, yet it gets as much across as a feature at least 30-60 minutes longer than this does. Ironside slithers into his role so naturally you already feel that you know his character even as he's being introduced by Justin. i really like how this is framed, especially with one of the worst-received doom sequels in history but Kerry seems to have gone against the grain in playing it so intensely before picking the controller back up for his greyhound trek to new york city. i actually kind of want a follow-up, Dickerson was cooking with this.
