The Insatiable – Best Vampire Movie Ever – Charlotte Ayanna deserved an Oscar nomination
I just saw on the sci-fi channel “The Insatiable” thinking about killing a few hours. I was surprised as this was one of the most underrated movies I have ever seen and definitely the best talking vampire movie (“Nosferatu” was silent) that I have seen. Also, the acting and writing were great. The actress who played the vampire, Charlotte Ayanna, was amazing and deserved an Oscar nomination, but I guess the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences wants nothing to do with “B” movies, no matter how good they are. . I am neither a professional nor an anti-vampire, but this movie to me was an amazing, underrated movie and an amazing vampire movie. The fact that it was an obviously low-budget movie made “The Insatiable” more realistic and courageous.
Like I said, what made the movie was the amazing acting of Charlotte Ayanna, as well as the great acting jobs of Sean Patrick Flannery and Michael Biehn. The scenes between Charlotte Ayanna and Sean Patrick Flannery were absolutely incredible and you could feel their pain, excitement and frustration. The screenwriter did an excellent job with the dialogue allowing the audience to get a natural idea of what it’s like to be a vampire and what it’s like to be someone who wants to save her from herself but doesn’t quite know how.
While there are some funny moments in the film, it is not an “American Werewolf in London” movie, nor is it a mystical “Dracula” movie. I definitely recommend watching this movie on DVD and congratulating everyone involved in making it.
