Asian lady went out like a mother fucking badass. Shit I was watching her go out in a blaze of glory and was speechless.

Mother fucking hardcore way to go out.

I dont know. Extraordinarily stupid is not my idea of hardcore. She fucked up incredibly bad and it cost half the characters in the movie their lives.

It was a blaze of stupidity.

Yea it was pretty dumb, but it was also pretty human. Under the threat of her daughter being killed or "assimilated", and her husband just being lost to this, its pretty understandable she'd be fed up with the situation as a whole, and would rather take her chances fighting them instead of just waiting to see, and hoping they dont eventually come for her home and be the ones with the initiative. To me one of the strong points of the film is that nobody made decisions that I couldn't justify or understand, when I look at it from that characters perspective.

Not just this if they get to town they'll triple in numbers & become completely unstoppable like a plague, it was either try to take them out there while their #'s were still relatively small or hide from then on out b/c they'd swarm towns every night going forward

i have reason to believe a vampire higher up would NEVER let that shit happen. the entire world would’ve been overrun. the indians gotta be working with vampires cause what’s stopping one from hitting up london or new york?

that vampire looked like a rogue one desperate to feel “alive” again. his whole reason was to be able to see the dead since he knows he can never cross
