AIDS as modern day vampirism
I'm surprised no one connects the dots between this film and the vampire myth.
There are numerous references to Dracula and the vampire myth. The drifter character carries his leather jacket over his shoulder like a cape. When Luke first enters Jon's apartment he says "I don't smoke.. cigarettes" which is a reference to the famous line in Dracula "I don't drink.. wine". They are both bound by the terrible sickness in their blood. Luke holds a spell over Jon, that Jon can't break.
Kind of interesting. Discuss
