Welcome Back Everyone. Today I will recap a 1998 American independent neo-Western horror
film named Vampires. It is a sequel to Stake Land Jack and his team of mercenaries must hunt down
vampires and retrieve the Black Cross of Berziers, an ancient relic that, should it be obtained by
vampires, will allow them to endure the sunlight. Before we start, it is a request to please like
and comment on the video as it will help us to grow our reach.
At the beginning of the movie, we see a man named Jack Crow who is a vampire hunter. He is leading
his team of Vatican-sponsored vampire hunters in a daylight raid on an abandoned house in New Mexico.
They prepare to go inside with their gunfire, pikes, wooden stakes, and all the essentials.
Jack tells everyone that he is sure that the master of the Vampires will also be here,
so they have to be very careful. After this, they go inside the house where at first they do not
find anyone, but then suddenly a female vampire jumps and attacks one of their companions. They
are about to kill her but then another vampire comes there. Jack attacks them with a crossbow and
then with the help of a mechanical winch, they are pulled out where they end up burning in sunlight.
Outside, a priest also prays for their salvation. Later, they get 7 more Vampire goons like this and
they end them all by bringing them out. Of all the encounters they had so far, they had found
the most vampires in this house, but Jack is concerned about not having found his older,
more powerful 'master'. Then they leave from there and then we see 2 hands coming out of the ground.
Later in the night, his team celebrates with drinks and prostitutes at a local hotel,
which also includes the Sheriff and Priest of the city. But Jack is upset because of the
Master of the Vampires and shares his concern with the Priest. He felt that he would be here
somewhere and because of this, he was not able to celebrate properly. Now everyone is
busy in the party when Valek, the master of the Vampires, comes there. A prostitute named Katrina
goes to Jack's room where Valek infects her by biting her and then goes straight to the place
where all the vampire Hunters are partying. After going there, he attacks them and starts
killing them all. Hunters try to shoot and kill him but to no avail. Jack sees all this and comes
out with his assistant Tony. When he sees Katrina outside, he takes her along and drives away from
there. Jack knew that Katrina had also been infected. Valek also follows them and jumps
into their car to attack them, but Tony shoots him, causing him to fall down from the vehicle.
Then after some time it is morning but after going ahead they get into an accident and those
people start moving on foot from there. Disturbed that Valek recognized him by name, Crow orders
Montoya to lay low with Katrina, hoping to use her growing psychic link with Valek to track him down.
Then on the way, all three of them stop at a gas station and steal a man's car from there
and come back to the hotel. After reaching there, Jack tells Tony to take Katrina to another hotel
and he himself goes inside and checks the dead people whether any of them are becoming vampires.
He cuts off the heads of all those people and then sets the hotel on fire. After this,
he takes everyone's head and buries it in one place. On the other hand, Tony reaches
another hotel with Katrina. Here Jack goes to a church and reports to his superior Cardinal Alba,
who confirms that Valek was a disgraced priest who led a rebellion against the church,
leading to his execution and transformation into the first vampire. Valek has already
killed another group of slayers in Germany, and Alba instructs Crow to form a new team,
accompanied by archivist Father Adam Guiteau. On the other hand, we see Tony who is with
Katrina in the hotel room. He tells her that she was bitten by Dracula at the party that night,
so they have brought her along and through her, they can reach Dracula.
Suspecting that his team was betrayed, Crow interrogates Guiteau and dispels his heroic
notions of vampire hunting, showing him a map of vampire activity that
indicates the vampires are searching the southwest for an unknown object.
Here Katrina gets a nightmare that Valek has come to a church and then suddenly she wakes up.
Tony tells her that she will soon become Dracula, which terrifies her. Then she goes to the washroom
where she has another vision in which she sees Dracula go inside the church and kill a woman.
she attempts suicide but Tony saves her and during this, she gets hurt in her hand which
starts bleeding. Seeing the blood, Katrina bites him, which enrages Tony and he hits her due to
which she faints. After some time Jack and Adam also come to the hotel room. Jack asks about
Katrina's injury to which Tony tells that she was trying to commit suicide due to which he hit her
and he got hurt too. But Jack suspects that maybe Katrina has bitten Tony. Jack tells Adam about
Katrina to which he says it's wrong and he tries to call Cardinal Alba to tell but Jack stops him
by hitting him and saying he won't do anything without her permission. Just then, Katrina gets
another vision in which Valek has taken the priest of that church to some place and is asking him
about something by showing him a map. Priest marks something on the map, after which Valek kills him.
Katrina tells all these things to Jack and says that he is going on some highway where San Miguel
is written. Adam traces the church, after which the next day Jack and Adam go to the church where
they actually find the body of a woman and there they learn that the body of the Missing Priest has
also been found in a place. He then sets out to find Valek. On the other hand, Valek is walking to
a church with his friends and Katrina tells Jack that there are 7 more Vampire Masters with Valek.
Here Jack suspects that Adam is hiding something from him and threatens to kill him.
Adam doesn't take her words seriously to which Jack bites his hand and says that his father was
bitten by Dracula which he hid and then posing as Dracula killed his mother and when he came towards
her he killed her. That's why he won't even think of killing her. Then Adam reveals that Valek
is seeking an ancient relic, the "Black Cross" of Berziers, from which his exorcism was done.
Valek plans to complete his own exorcism, making him immune to sunlight and virtually unstoppable.
On the other hand, Valak enters the church with the rest of the Vampire Masters and
starts killing all the people present there and then reaches that Black Cross.
Here Adam tells that only the Priest who had marked on that map knew about this Black Cross
and that he and Cardinal Alba also came here to meet that Priest to get the Black Cross.
Jack joins Adam in his team. Then Katrina tells him that Black Cross has been found,
after which they set out to go to that place with the help of Katrina. But they don't find
anyone there at the church. There, Jack and Tony get into a fight because of Katrina,
when Adam stops them and explains that this time they should go to stop Valek.
Then Katrina tells them about Santiago but when they go there they do not find any vampires,
but there are no people there either. Then Katrina tells that everyone is inside the jail in front.
Valek had made his new goons by biting the people of that whole town,
whose number would be about 30. Now Jack realizes that it will be very difficult to compete with so
many Vampires. But he still takes his weapons and goes inside the jail where 2 Vampires attack him
but they kill him by bringing him outside in the sun. Then he sends Adam to the basement below the
lift to bring the other masters up and then one by one he starts killing the other masters also
by bringing them into the sun. But they don't get Valek and it's evening, so they come out
because they couldn't kill Valek in the night. Now Tony leaves with Katrina and Jack and Adam
go to their car, but Valek comes there with his remaining companions and attacks them.
Adam hides in a place but Jack is caught by Valek and Tony drives away with Katrina. But Katrina
transforms into a complete vampire and bites Tony on the neck, which makes him unconscious.
Here Valek catches Jack and takes him inside to his hideout where Jack sees Cardinal Alba
with Valek, which he is quite shocked to see. Cardinal Alba reveals himself as Valek’s ally;
having grown to fear death, he has agreed to help Valek recreate the original ritual
in exchange for becoming a vampire himself. The ritual requires the participation of a priest,
and the blood and crucifixion of a "crusader"
Here Adam is also watching all this by hiding. Jack asks Valek to free him.
Then Katrina also comes there and Valek tells Jack that with her help they have made Tony like them
and now he is left alone. Jack asks him why is he not killing him? To which Valek reveals that they
need his blood to complete their ritual. Then they tie Jack to a cross and Tony is watching
all this through binoculars and Adam also finds a gun there. Alba then begins performing the ritual
in front of Black Cross, after which he makes a cut on Jack's thigh and takes out his blood,
and gives Valek a drink. Then Adam exits the place and shoots Alba
and asks Valek how he will complete this ritual now as he will need a Priest for it.
Valek tells Adam that now he will complete the ritual, on which Adam says that he will commit
suicide but will never do this work for him. Valek begins to set Jack on fire to threaten Adam,
but Tony comes there and takes away the cross to which Jack was tied. Then Adam frees Jack from
that cross and during this time the sun starts rising so all the vampires start running inwards.
Valek also hides in a room to avoid the sun and Jack follows him with the Black Cross. Jack
confronts Valek, impales him with the Berziers cross. Valek tries to escape from him, but in
all this the roof there breaks down, causing sunlight to fall on Valek and he burns to death.
Now because Tony was also infected, so Adam is about to kill him but Jack stops him by coming
in the middle and saying that both of them are alive today because of Tony. Tony tells him that
he needs 2 days off with Katrina as he wants to go somewhere far away. Jack tells her that both of
them should go now but later he will find them and kill them. As Tony and Katrina depart, Jack and
Adam head off to kill the remaining vampires and the movie ends here. Please do like and subscribe
