| Summary: |
Los Angeles has a discreet community of glamorous, sophisticated and hip vampires. Bacchanals of blood and sex are confined to private underground clubs. Anonymity is jeopardised by Nico (Natasha Gregson Wagner), a bloodsucking seductress gaining notoriety as the "Hollywood Slasher". Dallas (Casper Van Dien) valiantly tries to reform and save her. When crusty old Frederick Van Helsing (Rod Steiger) unwittingly hires inner city gang bangers as his vampire hunting assistants, an outrageous juxtaposition of characters and cultures is set into action-packed motion.

short review: This is only a mediocre vampire movie. Although it has some gory biting-scenes (do we not all enjoy such scenarios). And again, there is the famous Udo Kier - the *vampire-movie-man*. In short: A funny, entertaining flic with some nice jokes; but not getting above the mediocre line.  |
