Watched as part of a vampire film series, but not strictly about vampires - unless you frame it as a stripped back, hard truth view on what it would really be like to experience a dangerous thirst for blood (and other assorted viscera) outwith the crucifixes and leather tros of other vampire flicks. Cryptic, pessimistic, and brutal. Worst holiday ever!

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
saw this at the Glasgow Film Theatre so there was a special atmosphere in the room, not mentioning the signs the cinema had put up outside so there was no forgetting that this was based on Alasdair Gray's book and originally! set! in! Glasgow! mind! you!
I do wonder what it would be like to see the film without having read the book first, because while this was funny, rich in visuals and sound, with the kind of whimsical art…
