Marie is a vampire with a conscience: She only sucks the blood of criminals. And she has plenty to choose from on the mean streets of Pittsburgh, where a gang war is raging. But Marie slips up when she accidentally turns a violent crime lord, Sal Macelli (Robert Loggia), into one of the walking dead. To stop a takeover of the city by blood-sucking gangsters, Marie joins forces with an undercover cop (Anthony LaPaglia) who has his own score to settle.

Critics Consensus

Awkward tonal shifts and a sluggish pace plague Innocent Blood -- a horror-comedy with anemic scares and laughs.

Time Out

Regrettably, all too often the tone lurches from stylish suspense to smart-ass in-jokiness and silly slapstick.

Film Frenzy

An anemic effort that fails to make the most of a great hook.

Hartford Courant

His new film overflows with blood, but brutal cynicism, rather than innocence, reigns.

I was very surprised by this movie. The gore was top notch. There were plenty of stellar performances, particularly Robert Loggia. It's a fun horror/gangster combo. It's easy to criticize a vid with such a wacky premise, but it works, and it works damn good. 100% Fresh to me

I cannot for the life of me find this low brow movie funny in the least. The director just wants to make up his own mythology about Vampires. For Instance Vampire cannot see themselves in mirrors. And throwing in Don Rickles was just for sake of having a big name actor (if you can call him that)! This movie was so cheesy I cant believe anyone laughed at this.

I REALLy enjoyed this campy movie - the performances, storyline and jokes were great, and Anne Parillaud was definitely instrumental in providing a strong lead role.

Very unique and interesting concept. There's some great bits in it, but the lead is completely unlikeable and kills any chance at getting invested in the movie. With someone else in the role, it could've been something great. The idea alone of a French vampire accidentally resurrecting a mobster to run around Pittsburgh as a creature of the night wreaking havoc, is something ripe for something fresh. There were some really great effects too.
