Blood from Stone

It's not about vampires. It's a relationship and existential satire/drama that stars vampires. What if questioning if you fit into the new world, or if you're capable or worthy of being in a loving relationship was told through the eyes of vampires? It flips the genre on its side, and it's a brilliant satire not only of what we have come to expect from a horror film, but from the POV that their bloody needs and carnal desires are simply un-human nature, and don't tell the real story of who they are. There are some surprising and beautifully crafted scenes of gore and smartly written dialogue (even during those scenes) that take it all to an entirely new place. The cast is spot on and the star of the film Vanja Kapetanovic is so good and so head-first into this part that it sometimes feels like a documentary crew is following him (except for the gorgeous way it's shot against the shiny facade of Vegas). It obviously was made before 2020, but it couldn't be more relevant to the relationship and personal introspection forced upon us all this year. And - after all that - it made me laugh a lot. It's a satire upon subtle satire, so just love the parts where they go full vampire, and feel the rest as it relates to trying to fit into the world and trying to find some love.
