What It Is: A low budget Sean Patrick Flanery vampire movie that has more in common with Little Shop of Horrors than recent vamp flicks like Blade and Underworld. Flanery plays a regular guy that captures a vampire to prevent her from hunting, but the longer he keeps her captive the more he starts to fall for her.Why I Watched It: Cause it's about vampires and Flanery's a good guy.
What I Thought: Not bad for a low budget film. The blood was sparse, but present enough to remind me that it was a horror movie. More than anything else, The Insatiable is about a guy's personal struggle with right and wrong.
He tracks down the vampire because she's killed 3 people in his neighborhood, but he can't bring himself to kill her once he finds her. He devises a trap instead and eventually captures her, holding her until he can think of a plan. He can't let her out, but he can't bear to see her starve to death so he spends the next few days coming up with ways to feed her. All the while, Silence of the Lambs style mind games ensue between captor and captive, until a final decision must be made.
Highlights: Flanery was an adorably believable dork, Charlotte Ayanna was sexy without being cliche, and a surprise appearance by Michael Biehn as a hardened vampire hunter.
Who Should See It: Hardcore fans of Sean Patrick Flanery or vampire movies.
How Soon: Take your time, The Insatiable is fun but it isn't exactly brilliant.
The Insatiable

Sean Patrick Flanery?!?! Why the fuck didn't you tell me?!!?
I still think it's a shame he hasn't been rocketed into the big movies and stardom as Boondock Saints should've done for him. :(
By the way... when do we all get to see the sequel to Boondock Saints???
Um, I did tell you. Just now. :-P
Yeah. Even after big movies like Powder, Flanery's never made it big. Weird. Thankfully though, he continues to do above average, if low budget, stuff.
No word on the Boondock sequel, I think it's dead. :-(
