I didn't see a review of this film which came out in April. I normally don't bother with horror films, but this got good reviews and while it has horror, music is a major theme, mainly delta blues with some Irish folk too. Think Tarantino's From Dusk To Dawn meets Oh Brother Where Art Thou with a bit of Crossroads as well (no, not the old British soap opera, 1980s film based on the legend of bluesman Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil for fame and fortune. In 1920s Mississippi, twins Elijah and Elias (both played by Michael Johnson) return to their home town after stints with the US Army in WW1 and as bagmen to Al Capone in Chicago. They want to make some money by laying on a hootenanny. Enter Irish vampire Rennick (Jack O'Connell) who still has a yearning for the oul country and a taste for the locals. Yes it is a vampire film but it is a vampire film with some great music. Blues legand Buddy Guy makes an appearance in the epilogue. |
