Priest is another one of those vampire movies that deserved way better at the time of it's release, I'm still salty this movie didn't get a sequel and I still wanna see the conclusion of the feud between Priest and Black Hat, it's a shame we'll never see more of this world.
Priest. Legion(Gabriel's Wings, Mace, and his combat style were sick.) I feel like both of these movies had solid ideas and even execution. However I thought the creature designs were weak with the "Angels" and these Vampires being the only supernatural threat. Not exactly in the same vein.Hard-core Henry. Ninja Assassin. Also came out around this time and were overlooked. I did love to combine Legion, Priest, with uh more 40k technology and pyskers. Let us hope 40k live action does it justice.
This movie is a fantastic and unique addition to the modern vampire landscape in media. It brings a lot of interesting things to the table, even if it doesn't explore them as much as it could or perhaps should. It's neat.
Priest and Legion were fantastic movies. Interesting info for you, Alan Dale was in both Priest (Monsignor Chamberlain) and Dominion (the 'sort of sequel' tv show to Legion, he portrayed General Riesen). Both characters acted as advisors to the main characters of both Priest and Dominion! Great video ;-)
The guy who played the icecream man in Legion is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors. He has played the monsters in so many films, including Pan's Labyrinth. I was always upset that he kept getting these bit parts. He finally landed a leading role in Star Trek Discovery as Saru. I've been watching trek since TNG in the 80s (and DS9 & VOY in the 90s) and I don't care what anyone says, Discovery is great.
I could see the movie have a sci-fi angle where the Queen is a "fallen angel", but is really an space alien that has fallen from the sky. And people thought she was a fallen angel since it came from the sky, and it was unexplainable.
@@Lioness006and if we go a little deeper, believed to be the first wife of Adam. However, instead of being created from Adam's rib she was created alongside him. She felt she was not to be subservient to Adam but equal to him. God punishes her by turning her into the mother of vampires or a succubus. One of the two.
@@SoN_oF_oDiN76 yes. I'm familiar with Lilith. Adam's first wife, before Eve, created from the same earth as Adam. Refused to be subservient to Adam and wanted to be equal so she was left the garden of Eden and refused to return. She then created the nephilim with the archangel Samael.
@@SoN_oF_oDiN76 To put a sci-fi angle on this, "being created from Adam's rib"... sure sounds like a chest burster to me. Looks like it could be retconned into the Aliens (and thus the Predator Universe).
The guy who played the sheriff also played the vampire James in the first twilight film it interesting how many actors who played vampires in other media are in this film thank you for another great video, Cogan!
Actually, the war was won by the Humans but barely less like both sides decided to break a truth to lick their wounds but the Humans beat the crap out of the Vampires but were too weak to finish them. That's why City dwellers are cramped in the welled cities because they were too terrified of their enemy, not because they were forced to. This is kinda familiar to the Mutants that surround the hive cities, waiting, bidding their time for a perfect moment to strike.
My grandma, surprisingly, is the person who introduced me to most of the vampire movies I know and watch today. She loves watching movies like Underworld, Blade, Priest, Van Helsing, The Lost Boys, etc etc etc. She also just likes good movies and monster movies in general, since she also likes the Resident Evil movies (have to disagree with her on those though), Terminator, Book of Eli, The Equalizer, Alien and Aliens, and the likes. It's actually a bit funny, now that I think about it, that I used to watch these movies at her house as a kid and get scared out of my mind at the thought of being eaten or attacked at night, but as it turns out, watching those movies as a kid made me love them even more now as an adult. Oh yeah, and priest is a SERIOUSLY underrated movie.
Although it didn't get great reviews, this is one of my favorite vampire movies. I would love to see a part 2 for this movie, as you said in your video, there are a lot of issues that need to be resolved. Also, if you love vampires and the old west, American Vampire is a great read, it deals with European vampires who come to the new world to spread their breed into it. However, they come across a outlaw who they accidently turn into a new breed of vampire. This comic is great because it starts in the old west, and ends somewhere in the 1970's I think. It's great to see the different eras in the story and how the vampires adapt to their new surroundings.
I really like this movie the vampires are like a mix between termites and vampires. Because apart from the king and queen most termites have no eyes. And they always have a soldier cast. Unlike some species of ants.
@@antoniou.1158 What the hell dude? The whole video is discussing how fictional monsters work. Why are you even on this video saying such obvious things?
I have gotta say your points about 40k and fallout are absolutely spot on, mix in a few Vampire hunter D vibes and you have this film summed up pretty well. Great video thanks for the upload. This films is a absolute hidden gem.
These Vampires have an amazing Design. I wonder if The Priests were Born from a Human Vampire a Half Breed or if they were created by Humans. Respect and keep up the epic work.
I agree it is a really good movie with a really cool plot and the genre blending is interesting but like you said Cogan there's just something about it that feels off like it's missing something.
To me the world is great. The vampires were the weakest part. I don't really see how the Vampires are a threat once gunpowder became a thing. They needed more Supernatural creatures and concepts in it. The Priest needed more than just "peak" human to be justifiable how a handful of them did what armies couldn't. More 40k influences would have been amazing. Specifically more creatures, technology, and add in some magic into the mix. Holy, nature, and satanic/demonic magic always can make for fun worlds. These things aren't vampires. Still loved it along with Legion which suffered the same issue. Those weren't Angels like these aren't vampires. With the exception of Gabriel who had an amazing combat style using his wings as both weapons and armor while having that whirling mace! Truly epic... Just wished Michael had more than guns and a gas oven.
very underrated movie.. Karl Urban movies seem too get a cult following after the movie does not do well in the theaters... this movie and Judge Dredd should have done great in the theater
Love your videos! If you want a unique take on vampires Those Who Hunger (In The Dark) is pretty cool. It's about a therapist who slowly realizes their patient is a vampire, seems right up your alley!
Your speculation about the origin of the vampires is pretty accurate. In the movie’s press conference, the “translator” woman said the angels evolved into the vampires(not explained of course) and that the current priests learned their skills from the original, Ivan Issac. A lot of the graphic novel fans hated the movie but I enjoyed it (especially the opening sequence) and yes I thought the movie could have been longer to tie in more of the original lore from the graphic novel.
This is unironically one of my favorite movies, mainly because i'm a Warhammer fan and this is one of the only movies i've seen that really bring out that Warhammer feel even if it's toned down.
When it comes to vampire lore nobody does it better. You do amazing work my friend. You kill every video and I look forward to every upload! And i rewatch all the time, binging your catalog the first round was a real pleasure! Keep up the great work man!
The fact that you said Legion and Priest were your favorite Paul Bettany movies....I subbed just for that. I LOVE Legion and Priest so much. I wasn't too impressed by his performance as vision, but it could have just been the weird face paint taking from his natural beauty.
This movie's blend of genres kinda reminds me of the Japanese like novel series Vampire Hunter D. I also think the city reminds me of other dystopian fiction such as the movie Metropolis or the novel 1984.
Priest had a really great atmosphere and background that was explored really well. Paul Bettany as an action star in this and Legion are so much fun. Dude nails it.
This was a great in-depth look at the movie Priest! Has this youtuber done Fright Night? The vampire lore in that was interesting in that movie as well.
You should do a beak down of the vampires from the film “The Invitation” please next! Also from the new Dracula film “The last voyage of the Demeter” 🧛🏻♂️🦇
My theory of the priests is that they were an evolutionary development that came about because the vampires existed. Nature's attempt at a balance of sorts.
I would say similar but rather than evolution I would say more they used a type of vaccine on the priests to help enhance them and only chose those with certain markers which would accept such which would explain why they can even keep up with the vampires in the first place cause if it was evolution then there certainly be more of them and not just small number chosen .
Would love to see a sequel to this movie. It's so fun and the acting is really fun. The writing was pretty generic, but the idea was beautiful, creepy, and fresh.
Never heard of this movie but as usual, after watching your video on it it makes me Wana go watch it! Love your videos and the work you put into them sir! Well done and keep it up :)
Man, Priest was awesome. One of the most underrated movies ever, and personally I like it way more than stuff like Legion. Really wish they made a sequel.
Coooooogggaaaannnn!! Thanks for another stellar video sir! When watching this I was waiting for some twist that the leading clergy were some vamps, or different kinds, or servants of another that weren't familiars or something since the city was dark bc of pollution and their suppression of things. Kind of like the line from Usual Suspects, "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." with all the vamp denial. Oh well, lol. Still a nice different take on vampires in this one. To me it had an alien feel to the queen and maybe was how their blood interacted with humans. Either way, thanks for another one!
1:26 a very one note comment on my part, very not related to the rest of the video, but the funny things about bug hives with queens (let's take bees for example) is that the hive does *not* obey the queen as it's almost the other way around. If a queen bee is found to be "detrimental" to the hive, bees will literally off her and make a new one. Yes: make a new one. Worker bees will select one of the many female larvae and start feeding her exclusively royal jelly. Bare in mind that larvae intended to become worker bees also eat royal jelly, but are also fed honey, nectar, and other foods bees usually eat. So where was I going with this? It'd be funny those vampires worked the same: vampire queen not doing her job properly? The hives off her and starts feeding the baby vampires the "royal blood" to make a new queen. :P
Great review as always, do you think you can do The Mummy both the 1999 and 2017 Versions to compare like what you liked or didn't like about the films.
I have nostalgia for this kinda of intermediary movies with a lot of potential threads, thanks to remind me of this one! Stakeland is a great movie too!
I never had trouble imagining how an eyeless creature could still see: perhaps the cells of skin are simultaneously optic and dermis; maybe latticed between skin-cells are optic-cells forming a compound eye across the whole face; or perhaps the skin is a battery of sensory-fascia providing vivid-visual-input from synesthesia (maybe they see other senses combined) air-pressure, electromagnetism, heat, chemo-reception, auras, fields, etc)
i remember playing a video game in the early 2000's which had vampires similar to this and had no eyes but they saw in like sonar or some weird way but your suggestion sounds a lot better for eyeless vampires
The concept of the original vampires being animalistic aligned with how I imagined them to be on first reading vampire stories which makes Priest one of my all time favourite movies, plus the storyline was engrossing.
I stumbled in this channel while watching Dracula untold and must say you are good at explaining. Just subscribed after watching your video on Dracula untold 😊😊
Thanks again Sir. I too quite enjoyed this film and I also agree with your assessment of its strengths and shortcomings. I thought it once more, a very unique perspective regarding the vampire mythos and though I shudder at the idea of such noteworthy films getting a pathetic sequel, I think a possibility for a prequel could have fared well. Oh also, though I am hesitant to recommend a 3D presentation of many films, this one was done very well indeed and for those with the ability, would recommend giving the 3D version a look. :)
I adore this movie, it's one of my favourites! I agree, I think they tried putting a lot of lore into too short a time. And I think any time you take a shot at anything that resembles christianity in the western world, you risk losing a ton of revenue. I would really love to see this as a mini-series streaming somewhere. I love the story and lore so much.
I know there isn't a movie/tv series for it but a couple of episode talking about the vampire clans from Vampire the Masquerade would be very cool. I enjoyed priest, I'd love to see a TV series based in this universe!
There was 1 season of Vampire The Masquerade based on the RPG. I had it on DVD. I believe it was a 90s show. It was canceled after the main character playing the Prince of the City died in a motorcycle accident. It was pretty good.
@@m_d1905 the series is called kindred: the embraced and it consists of 8 episodes which can be found here on youtube... it's okay for a series from 1995 but it has some small problems such as vampires can walk in sunlight if they have fed the night before... clan brujah are gangsters/mafia in suits and are basically just a more "evil"? version of clan ventrue and not a clan full of anarchist punks and other rebels... and clan nosferatu is just a bunch of vampires who are more pale, bald and have pointed ears...
It seems like such a cool world and lore. But the leaving off on a cliffhanger before the vamps make it to the city is crazyyyyyy. I’d be Mad I didn’t get to see the best part. Especially since there isn’t a sequel!
Priest is another one of those vampire movies that deserved way better at the time of it's release, I'm still salty this movie didn't get a sequel and I still wanna see the conclusion of the feud between Priest and Black Hat, it's a shame we'll never see more of this world.

Let us hope 40k live action does it justice.
Ninja assassin has some great action sequences
Priestch!
why?@@broKen73484
Yess
The lore in this film was so fkn cool, I would love to see a prequel to the first priests/war before these events happen
a ww1'ish movie in this world would also be quite cool....
I agree that would be the best idea for another film!
Excellent content 😊
@@GarmrsBarkingi realized that if this were to happen in post modern world we could just use nukes which my brain took too long to realize😅
It's a Manwha (korean comic) in case you feel like reading it.
Paul Bettany and Karl Urban are both actors who I will happily watch in any movie/TV show.
Facts bro
💯 Agree
Im mates with Karl Urbans son
Vanko(Karl Urban): "Take the Lord Marshall's offer and Bow"
Watch the boys
This movie is incredibly underrated.
Agreed! I'm glad so many other people agree

Yep, perfect analogy.

Bro get out of the kitchen and let out man Cogan cook
The guy who played the sheriff also played the vampire James in the first twilight film it interesting how many actors who played vampires in other media are in this film thank you for another great video, Cogan!
I totally forgot about that! and yea its like certain actors really enjoy being in vampire movies lol
They did him so wrong in twilight I actually loved his character he is the reason Alice became a vampire read the books there all so good
He was also in Never Back Down.

I really like this movie the vampires are like a mix between termites and vampires. Because apart from the king and queen most termites have no eyes. And they always have a soldier cast. Unlike some species of ants.
I think regular Vampires make familiars, and the Queen makes 'Human Vampires." So basically, "Human Vampires" are just "Royal Familiars."
They are not real

Steven Moyer, the guy who played Owen Pace, As well as Bill Compton in True Blood. Was also in a British show in the 90’s where he played a vampire.
It was called ultraviolet 👍🏻

SUCH AN UNDERRATED film, great video once again bro!
great analysis. This was a fantastic movie. Love your background music too.
You ought to do a video on the world of Grimm. The television show with the lore of Wesson.
Recently found your channel and I really enjoy it. I haven’t checked all your videos but a review of supernatural vampires would be so cool.
I honestly adore how unique the Vampires are!!!
Also the noises they make tho. Mmmm, so scrumptious!!
This genre blend of this movie also reminds me of Vampire Hunter D.

This concept was brilliant.
This is one of my favourite movies. I love it!
I hope you will make one day a video of the Vampyr game or The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
This is highly underrated and 1 of my favorite vampire ip
Had it on pirate when I was younger, loved it so glad it's getting some light shined on it, it's a hidden gem
I have nostalgia for this kinda of intermediary movies with a lot of potential threads, thanks to remind me of this one! Stakeland is a great movie too!
Loved the Warhammer 40k referance, I always had the same feeling about the city.
I actually liked this movie. Thanks for covering it mate!
Unique vampires explained: proceeds to retell the movie plot and everything that was in the movie for 20 mins. Yeah, good explaining.
Love this one. And you're spot on about Legion. Paul Bettany seems to love playing supernatural weirdos.
A vid on the vampires from the game Vampyr would be dope man sick vid
I remember watching this in theaters, excellent video!
Priest is one of my favorite movies. I am glad I am not alone. I try to get others to watch but no such luck. 😁
I absolutely love this movie I would love a part 2 to this and Legion
Thanks for bringing this movie and vampires back to my attention.
I loved this flick. Great video.
6:05 such a missed opportunity to use excommunicado. 😂
I never had trouble imagining how an eyeless creature could still see: perhaps the cells of skin are simultaneously optic and dermis; maybe latticed between skin-cells are optic-cells forming a compound eye across the whole face; or perhaps the skin is a battery of sensory-fascia providing vivid-visual-input from synesthesia (maybe they see other senses combined) air-pressure, electromagnetism, heat, chemo-reception, auras, fields, etc)

There really need to be a Priest 2. Not sure why it has not been done yet.
Priest has 1984 written all over it. Pretty good movie too,.

Can you cover Dracula and the Familiars from Renfield?
This was a good flick 👌
I liked how you picked "the boys" for Karl Urban, and not you know, Lord of the Rings, Dredd, or Chronicles of Riddick😅
Watched this last night because of your vids. So badass. Need a number 2
Thanks again Sir.

I thought it once more, a very unique perspective regarding the vampire mythos and though I shudder at the idea of such noteworthy films getting a pathetic sequel, I think a possibility for a prequel could have fared well.
Oh also, though I am hesitant to recommend a 3D presentation of many films, this one was done very well indeed and for those with the ability, would recommend giving the 3D version a look. :)
I adore this movie, it's one of my favourites!
I agree, I think they tried putting a lot of lore into too short a time. And I think any time you take a shot at anything that resembles christianity in the western world, you risk losing a ton of revenue.
I would really love to see this as a mini-series streaming somewhere. I love the story and lore so much.
I know there isn't a movie/tv series for it but a couple of episode talking about the vampire clans from Vampire the Masquerade would be very cool. I enjoyed priest, I'd love to see a TV series based in this universe!
he made a few episodes on vampire the masquerade bloodlines if that helps...
@@GarmrsBarking oh I've missed those. I'll have to go and have a hunt for them.
There was 1 season of Vampire The Masquerade based on the RPG. I had it on DVD. I believe it was a 90s show. It was canceled after the main character playing the Prince of the City died in a motorcycle accident. It was pretty good.
@@m_d1905 the series is called kindred: the embraced and it consists of 8 episodes which can be found here on youtube...
it's okay for a series from 1995 but it has some small problems such as vampires can walk in sunlight if they have fed the night before... clan brujah are gangsters/mafia in suits and are basically just a more "evil"? version of clan ventrue and not a clan full of anarchist punks and other rebels...
and clan nosferatu is just a bunch of vampires who are more pale, bald and have pointed ears...
i love that music and your content
I still love the movie. The imagery and the genre mix is just great.
It seems like such a cool world and lore. But the leaving off on a cliffhanger before the vamps make it to the city is crazyyyyyy. I’d be Mad I didn’t get to see the best part. Especially since there isn’t a sequel!
This movie was so damn good. Probably top of my, this movie should’ve had a sequel list. I loved it. Super unique
Could you please cover the Vampires from What we do in the Shadows? Its a very funny series with lots of content to cover
Pretty wild that I was *just* looking up Priest a couple days ago, I think maybe the day this video was uploaded.
This was a great movie. The acting was amazing.
You should do "Daybreakers" (2009) with Ethan Hawk.
