Actually his friend is still alive, the end credit scene shows he turned and is killing innocent people and I guess they had plans for a sequel where Derrick and the vampire girl teamup to kill Cliff.

[@kaelang12]

the vampire races from the witcher games are fascinating. they can't turn other people, but their lore is very interesting to learn about

[@connyslayer4661]

i absolutely agree, The Witcher series is one of my favorite Game/fantasy franchises of all time. The Vampires in the Witcher series are interesting since they have similar popular traits like being immensely powerful and mysterious but they are also unique in their own way. I'd love for him to Cover Vampires and other monsters from the Witcher series.

[@SSD_Penumbra]

@@connyslayer4661 Lemme be that guy, but the vampires from The Witcher are two different species. We get the more beastial vampires like Ekimoras and stuff, but then we get the "Higher" vampires like Dettlaff and Regis. The first kind are basically smart animals weak to typical vampire weaknesses, like light, silver and stuff like that. Higher vampires are essentially immortal aliens who can only be killed by another Higher vampire. Regis in oen of the books describes how he learned to like humanity after being literally cut into bits, staked, burned and then buried alive under a stone slab.

[@connyslayer4661]

@@SSD_Penumbra very well said actually, i agree. I love the fact that there are different categories and levels of vampires in the Witcher universe. They are immensely powerful and versatile. You put out great information over there and that makes alot of sense. They are ancient powerful and intelligent beings with different levels, types and species. The great vampire s and their interesting lore is what the vampires so interesting in the Witcher universe. I also do need to read the Witcher books sometime, they seem very interesting and well written.

[@KosmataBradva]

Vampires in the adaptations are completely crippled in concept, compared to the vampires in the books. High vampires as they appear in the 5th book, are a metaphor for human fear. Regis breaks down the entire concept of a vampire, explaining how each strength and weakness is a symbol for fear in different layers. Starting with social fear, going into sexual fear and ending up with personal fear. In 4 pages, Sapkovski break down the entire history of the real world vampire myth, and how it's created from human fear, prejudice and stupidity. Vampires being overpowered and without any weakness in the Witcher, is Sapkovski's way to critique and mock the reasons why the vampire myth exists in our culture today. Vampires are not dumb anime monsters that get killed by 50 left clicks and some slow motion.

I wonder if these vampires tried decapitation or even being put through a wood chipper and a metal shredder would completely kill them. If Audrey tried those methods!

[@permeus2nd]

12:55 not necessarily, there are some people that would see the power of a vampire as a curse while others would see it as a gift even with the need to hunt and kill, to them it's just something to put up with as a price for the powers they now have. For some people they don't have any links to the world no friends or close family or if they do have that they just don't care, they have problems making personal connections this would make one of the biggest downsides of having to watch as your loved ones grow old and die while you live on completely mute, on the other hand their are some that would happily take on the curse of a vampire to watch over their family generation after generation like the character from the Anne Rice vampire Chronicles that I've forgotten the name of. Different people react in completely different ways so the female vampire in this film may see the power it gives her as a gift and the having to feed part is treated just like how we have to go food shopping aka just something that's we need to do, I mean how meny of us think of what we are actually eating? My mum can't eat any meat if she thinks of what it really was before it got processed (and she barely eats any meet before that)

[@housewilma4904]

essentially your life style pre vampirism decides if its a curse or not if your a isolated loner who already didnt interact with people too much then it is only a postive once you learn self controll always some thugs criminals or awefull people to knock out and drink a cup of blood or too. and the modern day makes moving from place to place easy even in the amount of cloths nessarcy to move in the sun without getting toasted.

If you really want to make vampirism unappealing, take away immortality. Killing people, drinking blood and NOT living forever: NOW being a vampire sucks.

Just did my own discussion video on this masterpiece. Had no idea what I had bought, I thought from the cover it was a zombie FF film. Boy was I surprised, VERY grateful to have it in my film collection. Should not be missed if you're a horror fan for sure. I'm assuming you left out the "real ending" on purpose. It's a twist you won't see coming.....so don't miss the credits of the film folks, the real ending is shown AFTER the credits begin.

What about the sun? You're telling me that wouldn't kill him if he stayed in it long enough?

[@dranixrush3306]

The movie left a lot of questions unanswered. But I would guess based on what Audrey said is that there is no true way for them to die. This is just speculation of course.

[@arrow1414]

It is possible that pure self preservation would not allow it, like you can't just will yourself to stop breathing. I think that was Audrey in those old pictures of the girl. That pic looks like it is from the late 1930s or 40s and Audrey looks like she was in her mid 20s, maybe a bit older than in the picture where she looks like she wasbin her late teens, putting her if I am right being turned in back in the mid 1940s, so she has been a vampire for around 80 years. Perhaps if they tried primate blood, like monkey, chimpanzee, etc. that could had worked (but I doubt it). And of course there is the sheer pain.

[@silverdays2909]

In the original dracula novel sunlight does not kill him it just makes him weak

So they cannot die. But when he was in the sun he was scored very badly. So will that actually kill them? They probably didnt want to kill off Derrick like that it wouldve been boring.

[@caramellpanda]

It probably could kill them? But I think the body would have an immediate reaction in order to protect itself, so unless they were able to be chained with something strong enough and left out in the sunlight, I don’t think it would be the easiest method to kill them.

[@calebcook2487]

Which I kind of hate because if every victim a vampire kills becomes a vampire they would have overrun the Earth by now, it makes no sense. They just wanted a neat scene at the end and didn't think about the implications of it.

@@johnburns2918 That's true! I can maybe understand if it goes by exchange blood for blood rules, if like, an accident happened with Cliff, and in the struggle, he got some of the infected blood in his mouth, but you're right, it is odd that it's simply via a single bite.

[@Charon510]

@@johnburns2918 I don’t think it’d be very hard for a vampire to ensure that those they feed on don’t come back.

About the immortal part - Hmm. Okay, I won't shame people for not knowing this as we all learn every day - The movie confirmed that you can indeed destroy them. Sun makes their tissues slowly melt away (skin, muscles, then bones). It is just a torture, so he haven't considered this. Also one would have to be restrained for this. As otherwise instincts would cause a flight or fight response and they would survive by escaping automatically.

[@jonintrovertednerd9988]

Why not every victims turns - I think you all overlooked a simple fact. Why Cliff was changed and others weren't - When doing Cliff he was in the most primar and near unalive state. The main character has entered this state she talked about (one leg in it), but was brought back. All his other feeding attempts were in a less extreme state. It is possible that simply feeding on Cliff in this state has infected him automatically, whereas feeding in his more sane state won't cause this unless he learned how to consciously (probably by being bitten and left alive). It is also possible that because of being turned this way Cliff is mad from the start, as he was infected from a mad vampire. Whereas the main characer was infected from a sane vampire consciously.
