The Insatiable

The movie just came out a couple of months ago in Germany. They retitled it "Kiss and Die". Go figure what and especially who makes those title changes. But what is more important, that the movie ain't half bad. If you like B-movies that is, because we don't get any new story elements or anything else out of it. There is a nice tweak here and there and it is nice to see Michael Biehn too. But overall the story and how it evolves is pretty predictable.

Sean Patrick Flannery playing the main character is not the most likable guy out there. Or let's say not the one you can completely understand, even if he lays down his feelings (verbally). During the end credits there will be some footage. Though I'm not sure it is or will be what you expect it to be

I just saw the screener and it's pretty good. It's not a high budget movie, but it's very tastefully done. It's not about the gore, it's not quite a thriller or a comedy. It's a mixture. Keeping it real and somewhat close to life. About the acting: There is one scene where they should have slapped the actor and make him do it again for screwing up his timing, but on the whole it's very entertaining. Sean Patrick Flanery did great, although you do get the sense of a cool guy playing a dork. But that's easily forgotten by the 'hey, it's the guy from the Boondock Saints' feeling. (or maybe that's just me) I think you'll enjoy this movie. It just might make you smile, or give you a kinky idea to try with your girlfriend... (just consider this part a joke, those fainthearted people amongst us)

Anyway: good flick, go watch it.

"The Insatiable" is a well-made vampire comedy horror with a decent cast and direction. Sean Patrick Flanery plays Harry Balbo, a man who witnesses a horrific vampire killing during his visit to his local convenience store. Balbo becomes obsessed with tracking the beautiful female vampire (Charlotte Ayanna) down and is successful in imprisoning her in his basement.

Ayanna is a convincing screen siren and it's easy to see how Balbo becomes her unwitting helper. Michael Biehn plays a seasoned vampire hunter - it's a small role but he makes the most of it.

7 out of 10. The ending's a bit rushed but this is a reasonable horror comedy. Worthy of a rental.

I LOVED it! It is indeed what I would call a B Movie and truly almost a Black Comedy. Those are my favorites. There used to be a plethora of them in the 50's and 60's. This one is modern and fits the empty hole perfectly. It almost reminded me of Little Shop of horrors. The acting was not bad and filmography was a lot better than most. I watched 2 Vampire movies in the last couple of days, RISE with Lucy Liu and this one, Insatiable. Although they were quite different and RISE was obviously big buck, my entertainment factor was MUCH better with Insatiable. RISE was OK, and I do love Lucy Liu, and the movie was worth watching, but, again, I did get more enjoyment with this one. I hope they make more like this.

It's a B movie, so low-production value, some of the direction could have use a bit more transition scene to make the movie more fluid and the space more real but...

The characters development, which is central to the movie, is excellent and keeps you hooked in. The scenes between the two main characters are strong: they are supported by dialogues that are simple but effective and both actors doing a fine job.

I watched "Wanted", with Angelina Jolie, and "Insatiable" the same evening: the next day, "Insatiable" made a stronger impression on me.

Whoever made this movie deserves a bigger budget.
