Summary:

Joel Winter (Mick McCleery) has always had a problem with sex; ask his mother. The problem is Joel keeps murdering the girls he has sex with. He knows he has a problem, but where does a serial killer go for help?
As serial killers go, Joel is lucky. He has got someone to talk to, his lover, Rachel (Laura McLauchlin). Unfortunately Rachel is a vampire. Of course, like every couple they have their problems - Rachel longs to be human and die. Joel longs to kill and mutilate beautiful girls. They find a near perfect solution in a gruesomely fulfilling compromise.
Life for Joel has never been better. But when Rachel leaves unexpectedly his torment begins once more. Until, that is, he finds Angie (Sasha Graham), an alluring succubus and proud of it. Together they embark on a hunger driven spree of bloodlust and copulation.
Joel begins to change. As his hunger increases so does his disgust for the lifestyle he's adopted. He realises that the myth makers got it wrong - Vampires do not feed off innocent virtue, it is the darkside of human nature they relish.
Joel decides he's had enough of love affairs with the undead. But how do you kick a habit that lasts longer than a lifetime?

Our Ranking

short review:

I think, this was the weirdest vampire-movie I have ever seen (well, maybe apart from Darkness) The first half of the movie there is no vampire-theme at all, more of a serial-killer movie. As the story is progressing further, the vampire-theme is showing up, although not as we good old genre-freaks would suspect. Apart from the, let's say unexpected conclusion, this movie isn't worth more than two "Kinskis". Bad sound, bad executed filming and definitely a mediocre storyline.
