Vampire movie a subdued religious tone

Quite cool and unusual for a vampire movie. The structure of the film is a bit like Kurt Wimmers equilibrium with a subdued religious tone. It is a world after a plague that has wiped out large part of humanity. From this plague there arrived a genetically superior being - vampires. These vampires has been selected to watch for human beings wellfare as well as finding a cure to the plague. Some problems arise when one of the vampires genetic research (whith himself as a lab rat) goes wrong. Instead of breading more brothers (as the vampires are called). He develops something that creates vampires with a well developed thirst for human blood.
