First of all, if you don't know me, then you need to know this: I have an unshakeable, pre-twilight love for vampire stories... Having thought about why I love them so much, I can only possibly trace it back to a childhood obsession with Beauty and the Beast, but I digress.
My latest obsession (I'm a bit behind...) has been Netflix videos, and I am a passionate supporter of torrents, so this is a big step for me, but there is something exciting about having instant access to thousands of movies just a click away... Being in Canada, there are some limitations (aka: pretty limited selection of shit movies), but I just consider that an added challenge!!
Check out these gems I've found in the past few weeks:
Hemlock Grove (TV show)
This is a Netflix original series with some seriously slow first few episodes, but it's worth the lead-up to the season finale!!
8 Reasons to watch:
1) Alexander Skarsgard (Eric from True Blood!)'s little brother stars... and noticing little gestures and speech patterns similar between them is an added bonus activity! Sadly, he's nowhere near as sexy, but does a REAL good "creepy".
2) The prince from Ever After grew up, and is also a lot less charming, but he's here too!
3) Jean Gray/Pheonix from X-Men is very mysterious and has awesome outfits.
4) It's all filmed in Canada! and another fun activity is noticing all the Canadian stuff (ie: cigarettes covered in the convenience stores, roadsigns, etc)
5) The main guy is also Canadian and a hotttiiieeeee
6) It is probably what Vampire Diaries was aiming for but miserably failed to acheive due to it's PG rating and poor, poor acting abilities of all the main characters. No such fail here. :)
7) Spoiler: the werewolf transformation is SO COOL...
8) It leaves about as many opened mysteries and curiosities as the first season of Lost
Midnight Son (2011): I am always skeptical on Netflix watching these independent horror-esque films, but this one got some stupid high rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's actually one of the most original vampire movies I have ever seen... I wish the main actor was a bit better looking, and the storyline was a little less rambling, but overall, a surprisingly good watch!
...and I am quite looking forward to these three:
