So, the first appearance of these characters in our film, where and when? And remember the masterpiece “Viy” 1967, call of the witches: “To me, vampires! To me, vampires!” and crawling on walls vermin? Then there was a break of more than twenty years, has not yet appeared in the perestroika years, two fairly free adaptation of classic literary horror stories by Alexei Tolstoy’s “the Family of ghouls” and “Ghoul”.
“The family of ghouls” 1990 Director Igor Shavlak from the source took only a General plot, even the action was moved to the present. Journalist for a Metropolitan newspaper, when on a mission, goes to a remote village where all the inhabitants dress as in the last century, live in the last century… and all the shaking that the newly buried grandfather — the head of the family – I’ll be back at midnight (which, incidentally, happens). Journalist flees from a strange village, and it turns out that time seems to have stopped in the city, while he was away, took six months. Later, he will return to fight the family, completely turned into ghouls. The film nemrutkale. It’s hard to say what influenced the films of this genre at the time, the era, atmophere universal collapse or something, but in most cases they are real depressive and dark to horror.
In “Drinking blood”, the film adaptation of “Vampire” Director Yevgeny Tatarsky, darkness is also rife, but I want to emphasize that the authors were able to maintain the style of the Gothic of the nineteenth century. The vampires here – sophisticated and influential gentlemen, throwing solitaire, dancing at balls Mazurka and talk about politics. The main character, count Runescape will undergo a serious test, but, unlike the original, save the bride from turning so he can’t.
And second, very very free adaptation of the “Vampire” — “Daddy, father frost is dead,” 1991 avant-gardist Eugene Yufit, where the same story appears in the form of art-house horror. Appear vampires in the mystical Thriller “Thirst of passion” 1991 horror-Comedy “Your fingers smell of incense” , 1993 ghouls only time in our film appear in comic form. “Upyr” is a 1997 low-budget mystical Thriller, where a charismatic hunter of bloodsuckers played by the brilliant actor Alexei Serebryakov is his war in the Northern town filled with bandits and ghouls. Fired as an arrow, his character goes to his one goal led him to victory over the ghoul. In the spirit of the cinema of the time a vampire appears in front of a hunter in his own image, and the viewer himself has to solve a dilemma: who won, vampire or man?
“Representative day” 2004 — ambiguous film. After three hundred years of absence in a certain European country returns count Darlak mater vampire, greatly hungry for fresh blood. Picking up on the shore with his servant dying after a shipwreck a young man, the count returns to his life, not drawing into a vampire, and makes an obedient tool of his crimes — “daily representative”. The vampires in the movie really scary and a lot of graphic bloody scenes, but now this film has long and well forgotten.
And of course it is impossible not to mention the notorious “Night watch” and “Day watch” 2004/2006, where the ghouls — one of the Central characters. Appear vampires and mystical series “Fight” , 2012, “Split” , 2011, “Other” , 2007, “mystery history” 2012 Last their appearance at the moment — fresh mystical Thriller “nightwatch”.
