This are not human beings like indians, this vampires are ferocious beasts that look like they can only contact with humans after they get them infected, why would the human race put the rest of creatures that could destroy them in a reservation instead of wipe them out?
shareactually it made no sense whatsoever and was just a plot device so that there were some vamps to fight
shareI'm going to bring some real world drama into this.
I was under the belief that there were some defense contractors on the clergy and felt that preserving the threat would keep their products and services relevant.
Also, the top members of the clergy were possibly aware of the fact that the underlying cause of the great war was yet to be determined and wanted to keep the reservation vamps as a bargaining chip of sorts.
Eh, it was a good flick and I'm going to deep into this.
I thought it was because they didn't want to cause genocide.
shareFor fear. People only stay faithful to the church because of the security from the vampires the church promises its followers. Allowing the vampires to live insures that the church will always have a means to keep people faithful and make them abide church laws. Fear is certainly an effective way of keeping control over a population.
shareI'm going to go deep into this so laugh if you will.
Judging by the scene where Priest and Hicks are charging their bikes, we hear Hicks talking about the remains of this late-20th/early-21st century skyline ruins that he's staring down at from the cliff.
The way I see it, the human vs. vampire war was going on in clandestine mode for centuries with various coverups being provided for the carnage.
It was until the early 21st century that the actual war broke out into the open and soon everyone who was laughing at the church was now turning back towards it for "forgiveness".
Seeing as how the church once again regained its massive followings of the earlier centuries, they store the captured vampires in the reservations as a way to keep people from "falling away".
In short, just an alternate version of our own future, I guess.
For fear. People only stay faithful to the church because of the security from the vampiresThat would be the logical thought for sure. Be no serious reason otherwise not to just wipe them out
I thought of it more of a game reserve rather than a reservation. We keep dangerous harmful species from going extinct in real life so why not in a movie? Also I felt like it was some sort of agreement to end the war that they would be allowed reservations in exchange for a ceasefire or whatever.
Also In my own head I think that humans came to that planet from earth and the vampires were indigenous and therefore some compassion for their continue was afforded them.
I missed the very beginning so if this theory is shown not to be true then sorry. I didnt like PRIEST enough to bother going back to see the beginning.
