Storyline

Rebecca has inherited her grandmother's Gothic mansion and brings both her best friend an her boyfriend for a weekend. While exploring the crypts they discover an old dusty book, which describes the life of a vampire. As the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the vampire was Rebecca's great grandfather, Rico. Later that night Rebecca finds herself in a trance, reciting an occult ritual described in the book resulting in the opening of the coffin and the new life for Rico. The Angel of the Night is back.

Superb

I saw this film at the "Dead By Dawn" festival, half way through an all-nighter. I was expecting to watch 10 mins and then sleep through the rest. How wrong I was! If you can look past the influence from "From Dusk Till Dawn", there lies a absolutely great film - funny, gory and highly intelligent. It's a crime that a film of such high quality will unlikely see a proper UK theatrical release, and will probably not see a DVD or video release either.
