Vampires

Based On the book by John Steakley

Vampires (also known as John Carpenter's Vampires) is a 1998 American horror-action film directed and scored by John Carpenter and starring James Woods. It was adapted from the novel Vampires by John Steakley. Woods stars as Jack Crow, the leader of a team of vampire hunters. After his parents were murdered by vampires, Crow was raised by the Catholic Church to become their "master slayer." The plot is centered on Crow's efforts to prevent a centuries-old cross from falling into the hands of Jan Valek (a reference to Valac, played by Thomas Ian Griffith), the first and most powerful of all vampires.
