WOW!! I was surprised to discover that "The Thompsons" is the second part of another movie called "The Hamilton's." It's still the same family...but this is an earlier version about the family right after their parents died. The mother was murdered, and the father lost the will to live and died not long after her. The eldest, David, is trying to hold his family together while realizing that they need blood to survive. David works at a meat plant...he should be able to get his hands on LOADS of animal blood, but apparently these vampires don't drink animal blood. David occasionally invites guys over late at night and drinks their blood...he's apparently homosexual. The fraternal twins, Darlene and Wendell who are in a incestuous relationship...and aren't shy about it. They're constantly bringing in young girls, having sex, then drinking the girl. Frances is at an in-between stage where he's kinda knows what's taking place behind his back, but is unable to accept and deal with it. Frances is still not drinking blood yet. The youngest brother, Lennie is kept in a box because as a young child he's uncontrollable...he looked to be about ten. But these vampires are BAD! They said that their parents had the strength to resist blood...but none of the kids are able to do this. Frances falls for one of the girls held captive in the basement. He takes her away to hide in the meat-packing plant where David works. By the time David finds Frances, he has drank the girls blood and transformed into a vampire...fangs and all. It ends with the family moving to a new city and introducing themselves to their neighbors as The Thompson's.

This movie was okay, the 2nd one "The Thompson's is much better. But in this one you do discover the evilness and ruthlessness of the family. You learn that they ALL drink blood, and have little concern with who they get it from. In fact, the twins seem to take a delight in having sex with their victims, then tormenting them while they drain them. David, also appears to be a little 'touched' and maybe his mind has gone beyond the brink of what he can deal with. David was a carver at the meat house, which meant he took the dead animal apart and cut the organs out. As David begins carve apart a girl who's been held in the basement, he begins to malevolently describe what he's going to do to her, explaining his father had taught him...just in case. This film gives you a better view of the family...but it's not always a view that I really like.
