Loved your article. What a great movie. Why weren’t the clan vampires? I been wondering this since I saw the movie. Why was the head vampire Irish from Ireland? You referred to these points in your piece. It would be interesting to hear more of your thoughts. Would you consider a second article?
It's my understanding that vampirism in this film is not necessarily an abject evil but a monstrous condition you can find yourself suffering from as a result of oppression and colonization. A commentary on how being oppressed has the ability to make monsters of us all. Hence, the main vampire is Irish and likely lived through England's colonization of Ireland. I'd love to do another article but I'd also urge people to see the film as I'm eager to see what others might glean from it.
