LIVING AMONG US

Cinemavixion Review

In "Living Among Us," director Brian A. Metcalf presents a darkly comedic take on the vampire mythos, imagining a world where vampirism is a recognized medical condition and the creatures of the night are striving for societal integration. The film, released in 2018 and starring William Sadler, Thomas Ian Nicholas, and James Russo, delves into this premise through the eyes of a documentary crew invited to spend a week with a seemingly ordinary vampire family. What begins as an exposé on their "painfully ordinary existence" soon unravels, revealing the sinister undertones beneath their public relations campaign. While the film garnered 5 wins and 1 nomination, its reception was mixed, with an IMDb rating of 5.3/10 and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 14%, suggesting that while the concept is intriguing, its execution may not fully satisfy all viewers. "Living Among Us" offers a unique perspective on integration and deception, making it a noteworthy, if divisive, entry in the fantasy horror genre.
