The Insatiable – The Best Vampire Movie Ever – Charlotte Ayanna deserved an Oscar nomination
I just saw “The Insatiable” on the Sci-Fi Channel thinking I’d kill a few hours. I was surprised because this was one of the most underrated movies I’ve ever seen and definitely the best talking vampire movie (“Nosferatu” was silent) I’ve ever seen. Also, the acting and writing were great. The actress who played the Vampire, Charlotte Ayanna, was amazing and deserved to be nominated for an Oscar, 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 pro nor 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 gritty.
Like I said, what made the movie was the incredible performance of Charlotte Ayanna, as well as the excellent 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, emotion and frustration. The writer did an excellent job with the dialogue, giving the audience a natural sense 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 movie, it is not an “American Werewolf in London” type of movie nor is it a mystical “Dracula” movie. I definitely recommend watching this movie on DVD and salute everyone involved in making it.
