The legendary vampire Ristor awakens from a decades-long sleep and decides that he will no longer stoop to the shadows, but will instead live like a human being under the shining sun. With his vampire charm and tsetse-like demeanor, he became an iconic rock star and used his music to awaken the queen of vampires, Akasha from Egypt, who had been sleeping in an Arctic ice cellar for nearly 6,000 years.
Queen Akasha is the ancestor of the vampires, and has been lying dormant underground for dozens of centuries, waiting for an opportunity to rule the world. Upon awakening, the vampire queen not only immediately embarks on a plan to take revenge on her old enemies, but is also bent on dominating the earth with Rist at her side and turning it into hell. On the other hand, vampire hunter Jesse Reeves has fallen in love with the handsome Rist, and a love affair has begun. What choice will Rist make? And how will the ruthless vampire queen Akasha react?
Behind the Scenes:
The rush to get "Queen of the Vampires" off the ground was due to the original agreement between Warner Bros. and the original writer, Anne Rice, that if Warner couldn't get the film into production by the end of the year 2000, all rights to the film would revert back to Anne Rice. Warner, of course, was not going to plant its own tree for her people to enjoy, and rushed the movie into production. Whether or not this move is the reason why none of the original cast of "Vampirella" will be featured in the sequel is not for outsiders to say. But if you ask whether this lack of preparation under pressure will affect the quality of the film compared to its predecessor, the answer is more question mark than exclamation point.
Another big event on the set was the death of the film's first female lead, Alia, who played "Queen" Akasha, in a plane crash on the evening of July 25, 2001, in the Bahamas. This unfortunate tragedy not only makes fans of the movie feel that the world is full of uncertainties and misfortunes, but also brings back memories of the shooting of "The Crow" in '94, which was quite similar to the history of the film. At that time, the accidental death of Bruce Lee's son, Lee Kwok Ho, tied up the crew's hands, and in the end, they could only cut and edit the movie into a second-rate suspense drama in which they could not hear any lines or see any faces. Fortunately, most of Alia's scenes in the film had already been shot, and since computer technology was already advancing rapidly in 2002, the production team of Queen of Vampires brought in Alia's brother, Rashad, to record Alia's unfinished dialogues to wrap up the film. Rashad's voice is said to be very similar to his sister's, and with the computerized processing, it is believed that this time, the audience can really not notice the absence of the protagonist at all.
Another person who did not appear using his own voice was Stuart Townshend, who plays the hero, Rist. Since Rist also plays a rock star in mortal life and has to intersperse large portions of his singing and musical performances throughout the movie. As a result, the voice of Rist will be provided by Jonathan H. Davis, the lead singer of Korn, who is also responsible for the film's soundtrack. Jonathan Davis and Korn are known for their hard rocking tunes, with some elements of hip-hop that have made them highly regarded. Davis is believed to have produced at least five singles specifically for Vampire Queen. It's safe to assume that the rock 'n' roll theme of "Queen of the Vampires" will be a far cry from the dark-moon style of "Vampirella".

---- Tongue Band "The Crow"
The tone of the entire film is bleak, the color treatment is cold, the sky is dark, the lights are hazy, it's raining, the hissing crows are desperately hideous, the dented arms, the bloody bayonet shots that All of them make people's pores tighten and chills all over their body, and the atmosphere shrouded in the movie is by no means less than enjoying the process of a real autopsy. As Lee looks on at the tragic death of the boss behind the curtain, "The Crow" draws to a close, and at the same time Lee leaves our sights forever, dying young and with a sigh of relief.
"The Crow" is Lee's second film in the lead role, and his portrayal of a cold-blooded crow has a mysterious frightening effect and a few unnerving disguises, and overall it feels like it passes muster and is the film's only bright spot. To be honest the rest of the characters in this movie are just too mediocre, Bai Ling is chubby without any bone structure, there is no tension in his speech, the gang of runners are purely acting as the number of people in the movie, and only Li's cold performance screams fear and blood. It is worth noting that the film has one of the few wonderful scenes, that is, Li Guohao and his girlfriend kissed the rotating lens, when the two lips close to the moment, the cameraman happened to capture the sunlight refraction of the delicate, through the circle around, the romantic plot overflowing, so beautiful, so splendid.

5. 400 Years of Vampire Fright -----
Love is stronger than death
My prince, my love, watching your back fade away, I feel our senses blur.
My kiss stays on your lips, my hand grasps yours, unwilling to let go. Will you never return?
I weep.
I can't give you courage, I can't give you firmness, because I love you too much to bear the fear of losing you.
You pushed open the heavy door and left our castle, the distant sky as cloudy and horrible as blood.
The torches of the soldiers light up your armor, determined and coldly resolute.
Ash fell from the door. The smell of time. I prayed breathlessly.
The defeat of the soldiers. The sunset was blood red, and blood flowed all over my heart.
My prince, is this how your life is lost? In the sands of bloodshed? How can I seek you? Where are you?
The sands are misty, and I lose your sense.
My prince is dead, and without him, everything becomes meaningless.
Standing on the castle, I see the clouds in the sky, one by one, smoky, murky, tumbling, unable to see the sky.
The river below the castle, flowing silently, sounded so beautiful that it was like my own lover whispering our native language.
I stubbornly believe it is you calling me, calling me to be with you. My love, is it you?
Listening to the sound of the river, I cried.
The tears were too light to fall into the river.
My senses are messed up, I can't believe I thought you were there, I love you too much to hallucinate, I guess!
The river will record all this, our love.
O my love, you will not be alone, for you have me.
May the Lord bless us to meet in heaven.

In 1462 A.D., when Constantinople is attacked by the Turks, the Count of Dracula is tasked with conquering the Turkish army. Who knew that just as he was winning, rumors spread that he had been defeated and killed. His wife, Liza, was so grief-stricken that she threw herself into the river, and De Cora, who had returned home, saw only the body of his wife. He angrily rebuked God as to why he had fought for the Lord all his life, only to meet this end. He pierced Jesus on the cross with a spear and blood flowed everywhere. From then on, Dracula turned to the devil and became an undead blood-sucking zombie with blood as his life.
Four hundred years later, in London in 1897. Jonah, a young lawyer, is ordered to the castle of the Dracula family in the Romanian possession of Transylvania to formalize the London estate of the noble scion. To do so, he will be separated from his fiancée, the beautiful Mina. The owner of Dracula's castle is the vampire Count Dracula, who recognizes a striking resemblance between Mina and Liza, and believes that Mina is Liza's reincarnation. He decides to find Mina and retrieve the one true love that has been lost for 400 years. He imprisons Jonah in his castle, takes with him boxes of clay from his homeland: the source of his strength, and travels by ship all the way to London. His arrival revives the dark forces of London. Vampire bats and werewolves awaken, and London is in a state of mysterious terror. Meena, however, always hears a mysterious call of the heart in the underworld, and in the midst of the fear there is a strong yearning. Dekkola, who came to London in the guise of a young prince, found Mina, and gradually conquered her with his elegant demeanor and mysterious and charming temperament. Mina falls passionately in love with him, and in her contact with him vaguely recalls something of the tragic end of her previous life as Liza, which leads her into a kind of melancholy and happiness. Ruth, Mina's girlfriend, is tempted to bond with a werewolf and begins a gradual transformation that will eventually lead to her death as a blood-sucking zombie. Ruth's strange and unexplained illness of constant blood loss finally attracts the attention of the occultist Hong Hee-sung, who, after checking, finally confirms that the cause of all these strange things is the great vampire Dracula. He joins forces with several gentlemen to combat this terrifying and mysterious force.
Jonah escapes from the witch's grip and escapes from the old castle, where he is rescued by Notre Dame, where he writes to Mina to come and marry him, free from Dracula's clutches. By the time they return to London, Ruth has indeed been turned into a vampire in death. Hong Hee-sung led a team to break into the cemetery, stabbed her through the heart and cut off her head, thus killing the vampire. Jonah immediately joined Hirokari's gang to deal with Dracula. They found the monastery where he was stationed and burned the dirt he had brought with him. Dekaura, however, had by now found Mina and told her everything. Knowing that she was y in love with Dekaura, Mina decided to stay with him forever, becoming an immortal vampire body and ****ing with him to enjoy eternal true love. Having lost the clay of his homeland, Dracula has no choice but to return to the castle first to build up his strength. Hiroshi Naru hypnotizes Mina and uses the power of her love for Dracula to track him down and destroy him once and for all. Finally they catch up with Dracula just before sunset and hit him hard in the castle. Mina recklessly pounces and drags the would be dead Dracula into the castle. In the final hours of his death, Dracula finally comes to his senses and returns to the arms of the Lord God, realizing what true and eternal love is. He finally died as the divine and valiant Count Dracula, God's guardian. With tears in her eyes, Mena raised her lance, pierced his heart and cut off his head. The love between them had been sublimated and eternalized from it.

A Frankenstein-like inventor builds Edward the Simian, an Edward with all the physical and mental capabilities of a human being, but the inventor died before he could fit Edward with hands, leaving only a pair of scissorhands as a replacement. Lonely, Edward lives in seclusion within a mysterious castle away from people, afraid to face normal humans. Pyg discovers the teenager and brings him home out of sympathy for Edward's situation. Edward soon became popular with his unusual scissor hands and gentle nature. He was able to trim plants and create wonderful hairstyles with his scissor hands. Peg's daughter, Kim, falls in love with Edward, but it brings him pain - he cannot even embrace his loved ones. At the end of the movie, Edward dedicates a bottle of ice sculpture to his beloved girl in the midst of snow and ice.
When love is unrequited, the ending of the story is destined to be a sad fairy tale
"You know ...... my flowers ...... he has to be dutiful to her! And she was so delicate and weak! And she's so pure and innocent. She has only four useless thorns to protect her against the whole world ......"-The Little Prince (Antony de Saint-Exupéry)
Almost everybody grew up with fairy tales. When we were young, we liked to read "Grimm's Fairy Tales" because it ended with "the beautiful princess and the handsome prince finally lived happily ever after", which made us happy and satisfied. But it's the lesser fairy tales that I still think about as an adult, such as The Little Prince, The Happy Prince, and the immortal works of Hans Christian Andersen.
Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton, is a modern fairy tale about a robot. It tells the story of an inventor who lives in an old castle and builds all sorts of things, culminating in a robot that he names Edward. The inventor pours his heart and soul into this work, and he even teaches Edward human manners and poetry, when to smile and when to be silent. However, the inventor died before the robot was finally completed, leaving Edward, who had a human mind but a pair of scissor hands, to live alone in an old castle. After many years, Peg, a middle-aged cosmetic saleswoman, wanders into the castle and discovers Edward, who is described as eccentric. Instead of being frightened by Edward's pale complexion and scissorhands, Peg took pity on his loneliness and brought him back to her home.
Peg lives in a small, brightly colored neighborhood with female neighbors who flirt, snoop, and make mischief. Edward's presence adds fresh excitement to their boring lives, so everyone shows him great kindness and even intimacy. When he reveals his talent for trimming plants and designing hairstyles with his scissor hands, the whole town practically goes crazy for him, treating him as a star-like favorite. But he has his own pain, and that is falling in love with Peg's daughter, the stunningly beautiful Kim. Kim has long had a boyfriend and has been resistant to this new member of the family. In order to Kim's request, Edward sneaks into Kim's boyfriend's father's mansion, and is arrested by the police without revealing the truth, for fear of involving his beloved. Although he is soon released due to his "inability to judge right from wrong", everyone around him sees him as a dangerous man who intentionally robs property, and shuns him and the Peg family. In the process, Kim sees her boyfriend for what he is, breaks with him, and develops a crush on Edward.
The conflict reaches its climax on a snowy Christmas Eve, when the more Edward tries to do good, the more he is misunderstood, and the townspeople call for Edward's expulsion, and even Peg thinks he should go back to the old castle. During the fight in the old castle Edward kills Kim's evil boyfriend and Kim accepts Edward's unrequited love. It was the first and last mingling of love, and from then on Edward hid forever into the unknown corners where he pruned his plants, ice, and love ......
There are fairy tales that I know from the beginning will have a sad ending, no matter how light, fancy, and endearing it may appear on the surface. Why did I know that? Because the main characters in those stories are people who don't belong to this world; they are elves, demons, and otherworldly beings who are intrinsically alien to the real world and ultimately unacceptable to the world. The Little Prince from another planet finally collapses silently and leaves us; the Happy Prince is thrown into the furnace of the foundry to be incinerated; the Daughter of the Sea turns into bubbles on the surface of the water and loses her lover forever. And Edward, a robot, a robot with a pair of scissor hands, a robot who can't even embrace his own lover, not destroying in the end is already the director's favor to the audience, how can we still expect a happy ending?
What's wrong with Edward isn't that he's a robot, but that he's a robot that doesn't act like a robot. The fact that passionate love is bred in his circuit-covered, cold body is enough to make people panic. Tim Burton deliberately makes the story take place in a neighborhood of no specific time or place, with flamboyant houses that are rather surreal, as if to show us that such a thing could be completely fabricated, but it could also happen in any corner of the world. Burton himself grew up in an environment very similar to the one in which the Pegs live, so his portrayal of a host of neighbors is vivid, exaggerated, but realistic and believable. Whether it's the broads who were once interested in Edward, or even intent on teasing him, or the churchwomen who rejected him from the start, they all converge to form a powerful and vicious force that wants to kill the boy who is harmless to them because he has hands made of scissors but a human heart.
Johnny Depp is at his best in this movie. As an android, Edward's facial muscles are rigid and almost expressionless, and his sharp scissor hands are not conducive to expression of emotion, but Depp conveys a great deal of emotional information to the viewer through his eyes, which are set off against his bleak, white face and make him all the more memorable. When I saw the look of horror and pain in his eyes when he was misunderstood, I felt like my heart was slowly crushed in that gaze. As for the female lead, maybe it's because of my bias after watching "The Age of Innocence", I always think that the beautiful Winona Ryder is a Hollywood vase just like the characters she plays, and this movie is no exception. I have to admit that she is beautiful, and her white dress in the snow and ice is simply unearthly, just right for the dreamy tone of this modern fairy tale. But compared to the hero, the heroine's character is on the thin side, which fundamentally limits Winona Ryder's performance, and the camera lens aimed at her is only content to capture her charming smile or sadness, winning the audience with such beautiful facial close-ups. The story here is not so much about Edward and Kim's love, but about Edward's love for Kim, who gives her everything until he is finally banished by everyone, and although she is touched and even responds to it, she can't spend her whole life hiding with him in a bleak old castle after all. Kim's feelings are pure and true, but also worldly love, while Edward's love is immortal, and therefore not of our world.
The place where Peg's family lived was never snowy before, and only when Edward appeared white snowflakes began to fly over that land. That ice and snow, wasn't it Edward who was as pure as white paper? His almost ugly appearance under the presentation is the real beauty of the movie, albeit at the expense of tears of sadness (snow).

This is an extremely peculiar film, which is both a cult film with a small following and a masterpiece of the subculture that was the sensation of the seventies and the "midnight show" in the United States. It is also a classic of the American "midnight movie"; at the same time, it is a camp movie with exaggerated excess as a selling point, with a very high degree of interactivity, and can be played on and off the screen and sung as a group; in addition to this, it is also a sci-fi cabaret and horror movie that breaks the rules by exhibiting transvestites, transgenderism, and rock and roll, among other things. ......
