After several high-profile newspapers fire him for his difficult attitude, investigative journalist Carl Kolchak (Darren McGavin) finds a job following the police beat for a small Las Vegas publication. When Carl discovers a series of dead showgirls drained of blood with bite marks on their necks, the police hesitate to take the case any further, and his boss (Simon Oakland) wants nothing to do with the story, leading Carl to believe there may be a real vampire prowling the city streets.

But John Llewellyn Moxey's razor-sharp direction of Richard "I Am Legend" Matheson's screenplay created such a documentarylike atmosphere of realism that the movie became a mini-classic...

Darren McGavin is delicious in bringing his character to life as the wisecracking reporter, who has a nose for trouble, truth and film legend.

I remember watching this as a kid and loved it then. I purchased this movie and the entire series laster as an adult on DVD... which i cant find anymore. Located this movie to stream is hard... if you do find it, watch it.. the story, the acting, the jumps, and Darren McGavin's Kolchak are something not to be missed.

There are very few good vampire films. This is one of them. What separates this vampire film from the rest of them is McGavin as the reporter Kolchak and Barry Atwater as the scary vampire Janos Skorzeny. He's scary because he's animalistic with his pale, undead countenance and vampiric growl. But Kolchak's gravitas mixed with humor makes it all work. Love it.

온라인카지노추천 movie is fast paced with lots of horror action, with a formidable vampire foe. I enjoyed seeing the travelogue location photography of early 70s Vegas hotels, casinos, and fashion. Kolchak is alot more serious, and alot more pissed off than in the 온라인카지노추천 show. Overall tone is also less campier than the series. Bonus casting of Carol Lynley, as Kolchak's hot girlfriend. Also noteworthy, the movie ends on a sadder, more bittersweet, more sobering note.
