The Insatiable

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.

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.

"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.

A homeless asks for food to the lonely Harry Balbo (Sean Patrick Flanery) while he is walking back home from his work at the American Flange company. Harry goes to a convenience store to buy a hot-dog for the beggar, but when he returns to the alley, he witnesses a sexy vampire attacking and beheading the man.

Harry becomes obsessed by the vampire and he contacts the vampire hunter Strickland (Michael Biehn) to help him to capture the gorgeous vampire. Harry builds a steel cage in the basement of his building and he succeeds in trapping the vampire in the cell. Harry falls in love with the vampire Tatiana (Charlotte Ayanna) and he tries to force her to drink rabbit blood instead of human blood. But Tatiana is insatiable for blood and sex and usually kills her lovers.

"The Insatiable" is an original vampire movie of extremely low-budget that works. The plot combines horror, drama, romance and comedy in right doses and the result is a film that worth watching. The unknown Charlotte Ayanna is really a very pretty woman and it is easy to understand why the solitary Harry falls in love with her. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Insaciável Sede de Sangue" ("Insatiable Blood Thirst")

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.
