      kevin c This looked to be another in a long line of cheap horror flicks. This one surprised me as a vampire who is killing prostitutes is captured by a government medical team and put through a series of experiments. This was a refreshing and welcome change from the usual vampire flick. The idea was good and it was pretty well written and engaging. Enjoyed this much more than I expected.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting idea that sadly suffers from being unbearably dull. After an initial hilariously poor action scene, it moved on to around two hours of sitting in a hospital, waiting for something interesting, or at the very least intriguing, to happen. Even the actor playing the vampire looked bored, and somewhat disappointed. I don't blame him; if I was an actor told I was going to play a vampire, and then spent my entire time getting in and out of a big metal box, just to literally sit around talking. After those two hours, my brain couldn't take the tedium any more, and I involuntarily fell asleep, missing the last scene that the entire film had apparently been leading up to. I don't regret it, the sleep was far more entertaining. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member At first I didn't think I would like this film. I thought it was going to be a generic vampire film with poor effects. But once the first scene was over and the story starts I found myself actually paying attention. The plot is simple and calm so the low budget didn't get in the way or become too distracting. The actors themselves were still rather stiff though which lowered the atmosphere a bit but too much. The lot is this: a suave vampire has been captured and scientists examine him under tight security. The scientists force the vampire to undergo a series of experiments, some aggressive, to establish where myths end and reality starts. (Wasn't there a part a lot like this in the computer game Vampires: The Masquerade?) So for the majority of the film we watch the different experiments being performed. It asks the question: if vampires were real how would they work? and they have some rather creative explanations prepared. Ever wonder what happens to all that blood vampires drink? and whether vampires ever need to go to the toilet? Well they answer those questions in this film. There's a lot of medical talk as well so it would be interesting to see what someone with medical expertise would have to say about it. Every so often a philosophical speech is given about life, evil and the like. Then of course a darker plot than just experiments is unveiled. So I enjoyed this film and found the ideas in it to be original and entertaining. It is quite drawn out though especially when the scientists or police are talking amongst each other. Never the less it's still better than most low budget vampire films. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member very low budget effort with some dodgy acting at times, but unlike others the story saves it from straight to dvd hell, even though this probely was, concerning a captured vampire, and him being taken to a lab where they will construct experiments to study vampires and there habits, adding to this is his willingness to participate, this film has a interesting touch, about it, and like colin the ultra low british effort fresh take on zombies, does something for vampires here, the story goes to its conclusion well, and the low budget and some performances doesent get in the way, a interesting film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget vampire movie with high aspirations.
