knew it was really a tribute to Kolchak, the hard-nosed newspaperman/investigator of the supernatural.is the rare TV movie inclusion into this project; a surprisingly effective, though tonally unusual and fast-moving horror story about awire service reporter who stumbles onto a rash of killings that appear to be vampiric in nature.
—is a delightfully sardonic presence. He’s a truly oddball character, a hard-drinking goofball who has the enthusiasm of a child when sticking it to the local authority figures, but also isn’t afraid to descend into the suspected lair of a vampiric serial killer with zero backup.
The vampire, too, has been updated here for the modern world in a way that is much more organic and realistic than the silliness of. This vampire, one “Janos Skorzeny,” projects more of the vibe of desperate drug addict than an all-powerful creature of the night, putting himself in serious risk to attain blood on a nightly basis. He engages inof all things with police, and lives in a messy hovel, which looks for all intents and purposes like an unkempt drug den.
Although the majority of the film concerns itself with the investigation and the pleasantly prickly performance of McGavin as Kolchak,does have some genuine moments of fright as well. There are a few solid jump-scares sprinkled throughout, and things finally do get legitimately spooky in the film’s final third, as Kolchak creeps around the vampire’s lair, taking photos for his investigation.
