We discover through the narration of Margaret Thatcher that Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet is in fact a 250 year old vampire who has decided it is time to finally die. His loyal butler, also a vampire - an honour bestowed by his boss - flies out at night into Santiago to kill young people and drink their blood. Fearing that their father is responsible and determined to get their inheritance, they hire a nun, Carmen to 'exorcise' and kill him. However Pinochet falls in love with Carmen.
Visually stunning and with a quite beautiful script, this wickedly funny and deeply dark story looking at all these appalling people justifying their existence and all the terrible things they've done is a glorious, albeit very strange treat. The performances by the leads, delivering the gold plated script, are universally excellent and you get really sucked in (I apologise) enjoying the story of this vile man and his family and cohorts. Special mention for Stella Gonet who narrates the whole thing beautifully before putting in an unexpected appearance towards the end - she is magnificent. Unique, deeply weird, grisly, beautiful disturbing and great fun.
