sunlight.

It has two direct-to-DVD sequels, ''Vampires: Los Muertos'' (2002) and ''Vampires: The Turning'' (2005).


Added DiffLines:

* BadassPreacher: Father Adam
* CeilingCling: Master vampire Valek does this at one point.
* ChurchMilitant: The vampire hunting teams were sponsored by the Catholic Church.
* CleanCut: Valek slices somebody in half vertically using his hand.
* DisposableSexWorker: Subverted; Valek feeds on a disposable sex worker, but doesn't finish her off, and she becomes the heroes' main connection to tracking him down.
* FantasticCatholicism
* HealItWithFire: Montoya does this pretty much every time he's wounded, once with a lighter, and once by firing his sub-machine gun into the air then holding the hot barrel to the wound.


Added DiffLines:

* KissOfTheVampire: The prostitute bitten by the Master vampire certainly seems to be enjoying herself when Valek is between her legs.
* MercyLead: At the end of the film, Jack gives his friend Montoya a two day head start after learning he was bitten earlier in the film and is slowly turning. Apparently it's a tradition within their hunter group if something like that happens.
* MonsterProgenitor: Valek is the first vampire, accidentally created during a botched exorcism. He is the strongest, as the only thing that can hurt him is sunlight. He lacks every other vampire weakness. His goal in the movie is to complete the exorcism in order to become truly immortal. This would also allow him to make other vampires without weaknesses.


Added DiffLines:

* RatedMForManly
* UnflinchingWalk: Jack Crow does one when he blows up a building to bury the evidence of a vampire massacre.
