The fact that they're ... (spoilers)


vampires does not explain why they tortured their victims and seemed to rather enjoy it.

The whole "we have to do this to survive" idea doesn't really work when you're torturing and laughing at the people you capture.

Well, I imagine if you had talked to and been nice to every cow you'd ever eaten, pre-hamburger, it would be harder to kill them without a guilt trip. It doesn't seem to be a True Blood/Twilight situation, where they glamour or bore their victims into not caring (or however the hell Twilight works). If being a vampire just meant being your normal self with no extra fringe benefits, then you might not get to be so "Vampire with a Heart of Gold". I imagine you would be more like "Hunter with a Hungry Stomach."

This is a torch song. Touch me and you'll burn.

David didn't really look like he was enjoying it; the way he was talking to the girl sounded like he has at least a little bit of conscience, and it looked like he just took the blood. The twins obviously did enjoy it, but even humans can be sadistic.
