You might enjoy that one if, if it's sudden change in personality that interests and horrifies you. Have you seen Cronenberg’s Rabid?

I didn't feel that it was quite as effective as Cronenberg's earlier film, Shivers aka They Came From Within. Thanks for visiting, Tuwa! I enjoyed your contribution to the Vampire Blog-A-Thon.

I've just spent way too long reading your archives. They're fascinating, but I need to stop and go have breakfast. ^_^ Good work. I haven’t seen that one still (or Videodrome–for shame!)

Is there a particular example of a vampire story or film that sufficiently examines this transformation of self for you? I didn't participate in the vampire Blog-A-Thon, but if I had, it would have been to look at Cronenberg's <b>the Fly</b> remake through a vampire-movie lens. That film is definitely about the horror of transformation of self (a theme that has really gotten under my skin since I was a child as well), even if it is not so sudden.

Hope you enjoy your rummage through the archives. Brian, I'd say Salem's Lot is a good example. It doesn't pull any punches in quickly turning ordinary people into amoral bloodsucking creatures. I guess I stated my case a little too strong as far as the length of transformation sequences go as I do enjoy some of the slow ones. I just normally dislike watching a transforming character make one last sacrifice before having his or her humanity swept away. I think that's one of the things that differentiates horror from action or even dark fantasy. I like that sense of overpowering helplessness in the face of evil. Thanks, Tuwa.
