‘The Strain’ Preview: Meet TV’s Un-Sexiest Vampires

TCA 2014: Carlton Cuse previews Guillermo Del Toro’s bloodsuckers

“They’re not sexy,” said Carlton Cuse, describing the vampires of the upcoming FX series “The Strain.”

He has a gift for understatement.

FX debuted a new trailer for the series at the Television Critics Association winter press tour Tuesday, and plans to share it with the general public soon. It shows a hooded, horrifying vampire sucking the life force out of some poor schmoe, people with reptilian vertical eyes, and lots and lots of bodybags.

The mood is dark, shadowy and atmospheric, like a haunted airport terminal filled with fog.
