D&D last night means abbreviated films for today:

12:45 PM [Independent Film Channel]
The Vanishing
I'm presuming this is the original Dutch one, not the Kiefer one, which means you get an appropriately horrific ending to the story of a man who goes looking for his girlfriend who went missing three years ago.

2:35 PM [Independent Film Channel]
Sisters (1973)
A model is stalked by her former Siamese twin while a reporter and a private investigator try to figure it all out. It's Brian de Palma so expect a lot of Hitchcockian influence and weird camera tricks. It'll be stylish, but good luck figuring out any rationality to the plot.

7:00 PM [SyFy]
The Dunwich Horror (2009)
Jeffrey Combs as Wilbur Whateley and Dean Stockwell as Dr. Henry Armitage? Hee, even if the movie is completely horrible, this bit of casting makes me happy. Sadly, they apparently put in a young couple for a love story, so I think I'm going to it's going to go the way of many Lovecraft movies: could have been good, but they screwed up some key elements of the story.

9:00 PM [Turner Classic Movies]
The Phantom of the Opera
The original silent version with Lon Chaney as the eponymous phantom who just wants to enjoy his opera house and listen to some decent singers, for once.

11:00 PM [Turner Classic Movies]
Vampyr
Another silent film, this time with a young traveller who finds a village where a Vampyr has minions who make people kill themselves so their souls will go to hell. Clearly not your typical vampire movie.

There's so many version of Blood: The Last Vampire, it's hard to know where to begin. There's the original animated movie, the manga, the novels, a video game, an anime series that spawned its own novels, manga and video game, and a live action film. The last will be released onto DVD in the U.S. this week.

Basically, all feature the same concept: a girl named Saya with varying levels of vampirism (usually full-blooded) and a sword who fights other vampire-like creatures called Chiroptera. Naturally, there's quite a bit of blood. And you can't forget the schoolgirl uniform - it's to Japanese horror what teenagers having sex are to American ones.

Pretty cool - the original anime movie is the scariest and makes an excellent double feature with Vampire Hunter D.
