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.
vtm was always good in its understanding of Vampirism.
There are no noble vampires because the noble ones walk into the sun.
The rest are in a range of evil dastardly to begin with, or ar best a "monster I am lest the monster I become"
You give them a lust that WILL kill somebody if they lose control, and then they get immortality so thay they have infinite chances to lose control. Eventually you will. So if you haven't already staked yourself you'll permit little sins to stave off the true disaster.
The problem is you also have infinite time for you sins to grow. And what uou allow builds on itself.
Really? So not because they are holy? Isn’t this the same one where the writer added the usual Netflix/current year diversity?

Personal Horror indeed.
