Sangue Eterno

This Latin film is really amazing. A group of young people has a singular game on vampires. But they need another member and they look for a girl dressed black, nothing badly for the occasion. But they without knowledge that really is happening, begin to confuse the thin line of the reality. At the outset it can seem a simple film of vampires, but soon this begins to transform itself into very dark nightmare, with good special effects, but with good actors, something very rare for this type of films… I don't tell much about the plot to ruin the surprise. This film does not have million of the American industry, but it has much creativity, well-taken care of line of vision. I did not know that it was a Latin film (from Chile) until seeing an exhibition here in Mexico. Is brilliant to see an original work!

I popped this disk in not expecting much, I only bought it because it was dirt cheap and I'm a fanatic about vampire movies. I was *very* pleasantly surprised that the movie takes place within the "goth" subculture, and even more so at how authentic the subculture was represented. You'd think more horror movies, especially vampire ones, would have more of this influence. I may be a bit prejudiced about liking this movie so much because I love a movie in which I can relate to the characters, who, might I add, are absolutely beautiful, I could stare at them for hours. The plot is original, I've never seen the whole role-playing game scenario used in a vampire movie before. I loved how it kept you guessing...are the vampires real, or is M just delusional. Obviously, with the limited budget, some things are left to be desired, but that just goes with the independent film territory...especially with horror movies that require makeup and special effects. The soundtrack is also exceptional. I have been desperately trying to find the soundtrack, but unfortunately it's out of print and impossible to find. This is definitely in my top 10 of favorite vampire movies!

In the old spirit of gore, this movie from Chile centers on some goth youngsters that play a dungeons and dragons-style game, where they become vampires. You can imagine the sequences where they "incarnate" their players - just think of a shootout where priests and nuns are the baddies. Anyway, they start realizing that the game is not that fictional - or is it? Lead by young charismatic characters, the movie's triumph is its cinematography and style. Too bad that I saw it with no subtitles, though, it made me miss a lot of the movie.

I really liked this movie. The work contains three subjects always appreciated in a movie: vampirism, psychopathology and underground/Gothic scene. In the first ten minutes you'd probably think it is an ugly film about guns, vampires-zombies and religious persecution, but very soon the story grows to another point very interesting... based on the role games. I definitely would watch this movie again, and that is a sweet flattery to say about this chilean film. You better don't expect a "masterpiece", but it is a good work, def. Mostly for the lovers of the "genre". One of the intentions of the director was to focus more on the human reaction to fear, this is a plus in the movie... the nervous, the shake, the breath, the trembling voice of the character in panic. The "goth" bar environment is decently done.

I was surprised at how much I really liked this movie. The story has a very original twist on the typical vampire script idea. It has a truly dark and brooding atmosphere about it throughout the film. The cinematography was amazingly professional and has a shocking style all it's own. The use of blue-tinted lighting throughout the movie helped the atmosphere greatly. The special effects make-up and prosthetics were better than most "A" Hollywood films...they didn't look so cheesy like in so many vampire films. Quirky characters make many of the scenes quite memorable.

Maybe it had to do with the fact that this film was shot in Chile, and I usually enjoy foreign films. I'm not really sure if I've ever seen a film from Chile before this. I would indeed like to see more if they are generally of this high quality.

Compared to the last few vampire direct-to-video films I've seen...this is far superior in many aspects. I feel the urge to view it again in the near future......
