SINNERS on the streaming rentals. Horror movie with vampires set among the
sharecroppers in the Mississippi Delta during Jim Crow. Once it got to the
vampire stuff, it was fairly entertaining, but it took too long to get there.
Hailee Steinfeld rocks it as a vampire, though. Rowr.

In "Once Bitten" the vampire said crosses didn't work because she was an

Shagal, the Inn-Keeper: Oy yoy! Have you got the wrong vampire!

 I've heard the name, but never seen this movie before.  USA Up All Night had *one* job to do.  Ensure I was raised with a proper cinematic education, and it apparently failed miserably.  Although, I'm pretty sure they did air once, "A Polish Vampire in Burbank" and maybe "Love Bites" too.  So my education wasn't a total failure, just incomplete.

"A Polish Vampire in Burbank" sounds like the kind of movie that should have *lots* of naked nudity...
