Good movies about mobsters are fairly rare. How many have come out since "Goodfellas" appeared 25 years ago? So it's a pleasant surprise to see a good mob movie like "Sicilian Vampire". This is an example of fine film making and storytelling. In the realm of great directors, Frank D'Angelo hits it out of the park with this movie. When it comes to gangsters and vampires, this film is now certainly up there as one of my all-time favorites. Sicilian Vampire is a depiction of a modern mobster family. By telling the story through the eyes of the main character the movie grounds itself in a measure of realism, stripping away a great deal of unnecessary cheap delight.
A solid cast of actors that deliver some of the best performances of their lives. And a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and won't let go with some very interesting effects and several superb well-handled action sequences. A film not to be missed, I highly recommend it.
