Vinny Jones battles vampires!

Ok, here we are back from the festival. Out of the 21 films we saw over the 4 days, 7 were vampire films, and all were at least average, with many of them falling into the good category. Taliesin will be doing his report here, and there may well be a podcast at some point.

Lets start here tonight... i'll try and go back a few days and put anything major in the update.
