it’s our mission to spotlight ACTUALLY COOL vampire movies, and here’s a massive one: “The Thompsons” – a high octane sequel to the much-praised cult film “The Hamiltons” (yes, that crazy dysfunctional vampires family who’s been struggling in sunny suburbia).
“The Thompsons” starts with a bloodbath at a desert gas station, which puts the family on the run, eventually seeing them resurface in the U.K. under a new name as “the Thompsons”. With the youngest brother Lenny gravely injured, the family is in desperate of help.
Hearing rumors of another vampire clan who might be able to assist them, Francis agrees to make contact. His quest leads to a family run pub in the English countryside where he meets a gorgeous waitress named Riley Stuart. As Riley flirts, Francis fails to notice her bloodthirsty relatives sneaking up behind him…
Francis tries fighting the family off the best he can–but these new vamps are faster, stronger and more vicious than he’s encountered before. After a brutal struggle he’s subdued and brought back to their home. When Francis wakes up he’s surprised to learn that The Stuarts simply wanted to test his powers. They set him free and offer safe haven to himself and the rest of his family.
As the rest of his family makes their way across the English countryside to join him, Francis begins to suspect that The Stuarts may have an agenda behind their kindness. With Riley as his only potential ally and her motives still unclear, the epic battle between the two clans is inevitable…
