It was difficult for me to pick out actors I didn’t know in this one. I had seen it not long after it first came out and didn’t watch it again till just now so it was great to refresh what I already knew. Solid art film but not exactly fear inducing horror unless you understand the fear and tension that come with addiction. It made me want to wax philosophically and then stand on a soap box so it is entertainment at the very least. Basically I have to be in a “mood” to watch and finish this film.

Awesome flick!
Ya man, solid show. Total new York all star cast in their early years.
Excellent use of symbolism with addiction and vampirism along with some juicy thought provoking words.
