My friends often feel that it's fully salubrious to feed my vampire movie compulsion. So, one of these wonderful creatures bought me this DVD. I was excited to see it again, since it had been a awhile.
The Addiction will not appeal to everyone. A. It is an independent film. B. ...( read more)
Appropriately down 'n' dirty flick from marverick director Abel Ferrara. The Addiction deals with vampirism sans mythology, placing such an affliction as a parallel with drug addiction, a topic Ferrara has addressed before several times, most notably in the seminal Bad Lieutenant...( read more)
