The idea of a Vampire is very interesting. It offers immortality and a bunch of other powers but at the cost of eternal torment. You can even go further as it is in itself a temptation beyond your control and there is a level of desire to give in to the pleasure of being a vampire.
A vampire curse is a romanticization of uncontrollable urges in humans and how they can doom us to eternal damnation.
Remove the downside of being a vampire, the eternal punishment that will inevitably come and vampires are just marvel type characters with superpowers, vulnerabilities and an origin story.
I thought John Carpenter's Vampires was one of the best depictions of this. Eventually they just succumb to being monsters in flesh suits, completely taking over by the depravity for feasting. The degradation and eventual complete loss of humanity was depicted so well. It's a shame that movie never got a proper sequel.
Really? So not because they are holy? Isn’t this the same one where the writer added the usual Netflix/current year diversity?
