Title: "habit"---a modern classic... Post by: the gooch on October 14, 2001, 05:10:32 AM finally took this one off my shelf...
this is one of the few recent films that i'd lump into a modern-classic pile. i think this is a really good independent vampire movie. i got scared cause the box said "erotic" in the description. makes me think of those bad extended cinemax scenes with lots of arms and legs and dim lighting...but it wasn't like that at all. and the legitimate critical praises on the box were encouraging. if you like romero's "martin" (1977)---it's that sort of film on a smaller scale (but not from the vampire's pov). with a little "taxi driver" and "slackers" thrown in style-wise. it's really pretty believable in the way it addresses the question "what would happen if vampires existed and a regular-type alcoholic guy started dating one accidentally." it doesn't go for scares. but the story is really good and winds up creeping you out. anyone else dig this one???

I'm going to try to tape it. It's nice to hear a fan recommendation.
