Bloodsuckers

About This Movie

Bloodsuckers (1989) is this quirky blend of comedy and horror set in Zagreb. The atmosphere is thick with dark humor while exploring themes of isolation and obsession. The pacing feels off-kilter, almost dreamlike at times, which makes it stand out. Teobald Majer's performance as the convinced vampire is oddly charming, and the practical effects, though modest, have their own charm. The film doesn't take itself too seriously but still manages to touch on some deeper ideas about identity and belonging. It's a great example of late '80s Eastern European cinema that flew under the radar for a lot of collectors, and that's part of its appeal.
