Summary:

There is a serial killer loose in Los Angeles that brutalizes his young, female victims, then drains their blood. He leaves no forensic evidence. With the body count rising, a task force of FBI agents and the LAPD is formed to set a trap using a beautiful vice officer volunteer (Denise Alessandria Hurd) as bait... only the FBI has not told the LAPD or the bait that this is no ordinary serial killer. Dubbed "Vlad" by the LAPD, he is a force of incredible evil, a centuries-old vampire. When the undead creature of the night (Jason Carter) is caught, scientists begin a series of horrible experiments to better understand what they are dealing with. It becomes apparent that the doctors are just as cruel as Vlad. Who is the real monster...

Note:

- The film won two awards (Outstanding Vampire Feature & Best Vampire Portrayal for Jason Carter) at the 2003 International Press Association's first Vampire Film Festival held in Hollywood.
- Laura Baumbach, a medical advisor on the film, has written a collection of short stories that continue the adventures of Dr. Joseph McKay and his vampire protector/companion, Simon Molinar, pitting them against the Delphi Project - "Demon Spawn: Tales From Demon Under Glass" published by Sybaritic Press.
- Deborah Warner, producer and writer of the movie, created with her team an online mailing list about Demon Under Glass, where all of them could read the script and follow the project from the start. For promotion they emailed all of the horror fan club and horror video review sites online that they could find, and offered a free screener copy of the film to any reviewer interested, and through that finally found a distributor for the film.
- Jason Carter, who is probably best known for his role as Ranger Marcus Cole on the TV-series Babylon 5, was director Francis Ford Coppola's original choice to play Dracula in the 1992 film Dracula.
