Vampires
Vampires (also known as John Carpenter's Vampires) is a 1998 American horror-action film directed and scored by John Carpenter and starring James Woods. It was adapted from the novel Vampires by John Steakley.
Plot
Jack Crow leads his team of Vatican-sponsored vampire hunters in a daylight raid on an abandoned house in New Mexico. Finding a "nest" of vampires, the team subdue the creatures with gunfire, pikes, and wooden stakes, using a modified crossbow attached to a mechanical winch to pull them outside, where they are incinerated by sunlight. Despite disposing of nine basic vampire "goons," Jack is concerned about not having found the nest's "master" — an older and more powerful vampire.
