i love this movie. Its different from all other vampire movies that i have ever seen. This movie doesnt just have a bunch of fictional vampires biting peoples necks. Its with real people like us. They just practice vampirism. One of the best things about this movie is the amazing music. All the songs are excellent. Alot of the music is by the Genitorturers- so check them out if you want to hear them. Vampire clan really isnt a horror movie at all, but its very dark in nature. I recommend it for someone who wants to see a vampire movie thats totally different and unique.

Real vampires, passions and death
Added 10/14/2005
I have watched this movie at least 10 times. Real vampires, teenage angst, road trip, and true life crime is how I would summarize the movie. Immediately after renting it, I bought it.
Why do you watch vampire movies? I watch for the psychological thrill; the tensions between death, passion, seduction and sensuality. That is why I cherish this movie. If you want gore or if you cut you might want to skip this movie.
The charged atmosphere among the members of the clan is compelling and believable. The blood drinking was thrilling in ways I have never seen in another movie. No fangs. Instead the movie depicts blades, cutting and sucking. I have personal experience with other real life vampires. I have scars to prove it. This is the real deal folks.
Like another reviewer I would like to have seen the lives of the characters before the road trip. I think this could help build the tensions between the characters and bring out their motivations.
The first few times I saw the movie I watched the murder scenes, but they are not really interesting for me. They are just slasher stuff even though based on reality. I am not even interested in how true to life the killing was.
The pacing and story telling devices work well for me. I think the script is fine. The cuts between the police office and the story is a cool way to tell the story and keeps reminding you that this is all real.
This is the best vampire movie I have ever seen. The Interview with a Vampire ranks second since it is also about the psychology of vampirism.

Vampire Clan
Added 8/28/2005
This movie (as described in other reviews) wasn't extremely accurate with the details of what had actually happened but does give you a basic understanding. In real life Rod was a gangly teen with long hair not a manipulating hottie. But Drew Fuller who played Rod did do a great job of how they wanted to depict the leader of the group. When watching this movie people have to remember that this is a MOVIE not a documentary and is only based on what really happened. If you rent this movie hoping to see what actually went one during the murder in 1996, you will be sadly disappointed, although pleased by the acting. If you want to get only the facts then get a book from the library, if you want the facts but also to be entertained and wowed by how gorgeous Drew Fuller is...then get this movie.

Standpoint? Indecisive
Added 4/26/2005
Seeing only few frames of this movie, I cannot really tell you exactly how good the movie itself is; but in response to the previous review, I can say this: The events really did happen: look it up. Roderick Farrell is convicted and is currently serving out his life sentence. Of course- if you really cared at all, or was prepared to give an accurate review, you should have looked up the facts before bashing it.
The movie itself is a very VERY accurate recount of what really happened in the Vampire Clan (what I've seen and read). Watch it if you're interested in the case... or in any vampire RP gone a little out of hand...? Perhaps a little real-life vampirism...

Bad story, good Drew
Added 4/7/2005
Note: Like others, I didn't feel like registering, but I'm 20.
I thought this movie was ridiculous. I want to say it was unbelievable, except it supposedly really happened. Nevertheless, I thought the whole thing was quite silly, and the plot really boring. It doesn't capture your attention at all. Drew Fuller, however, was amazing as usual. If you are a Drew fan, go for it. Otherwise, don't bother.
