Juliet Landau's directorial debut movie, "A Place Among the Dead," had me hooked from the first minute! It's a work of fiction woven through the fabric of reality.
The film follows Juliet (or Jules) as she interviews people about vampires. Along the way, she gets caught up in a serial killer case. And as she she becomes ensnared in his web of horror, she finds herself questioning not only her own reality, but the possibility that he may really be a vampire.
The writing, the acting, and the film itself blew me away. I could feel every emotion emanating from the screen as if it were my own. Not only was this a terrifying vampire story, but it was also a very accurate display of Narcissism and evil and how the toxicity of both can scar victims for life. I'm sure I'm not the only person who connected with Jules' character on this sort of visceral level.
This is definitely going to be a film I break out every Halloween!
