This week on The VHS Club, we’re diving into the blood-soaked, leather-clad, late-90s action machine that helped launch the modern superhero era: Blade.
Before the MCU dominated theaters, Wesley Snipes was out here slicing vampires in nightclubs and looking impossibly cool doing it. What starts as a gritty action flick quickly reveals itself to be a stylish, surprisingly influential Marvel movie that changed the game — even if it doesn’t always get the credit.
Join us as we:
🧛♂️ Revisit that absolutely unhinged blood rave opening
🗡️ Celebrate Wesley Snipes’ iconic, stoic performance
🔥 Talk late-90s action vibes and practical effects
🦇 Break down the vampire lore and world-building
🎬 Decide whether Blade still holds up — or feels very 1998
It’s dark, it’s dramatic, it’s peak trench coat cinema — and it might just be cooler than you remember.
So grab your sunglasses (even though it’s night), sharpen your stakes, and remember… some motherf***ers are always trying to ice skate uphill.
