So what his father injected pure blood into him. How is that a cure? I mean, when they drink blood it winds up there anyway. There are cool parts, but on the whole I don't enjoy it as much as I used to.
The bar scene alone is enough to make that movie worthwhile.
And how a vampire receive the blood is crucial to the process. For instance, in Midnight Mass, sucking the blood directly from a person's neck "turns" a person into a vampire but having it drip from the person into a vampire's mouth does not. Explain that! Conversely, maybe the method of transfusion could "turn" a person back from being a vampire. Its all in which mythology you go by.
Question for Paul
In doing research for Midnight Mass did you come across anything that attempts to explain which part of the process actually "turns" a person? Is it the insertion of the teeth into the body or what?
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
