8/10
A neat little indie low-budget vampire horror outing
16 November 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Nice guy Bob Friedman (a likable turn by Paul Borghese) meets and falls in love with the sweet and appealing Angela (a charming portrayal by fetching blonde looker Sarah Watchman). Bob and Angela get married. Complications ensue when Bob discovers that Angela is really a vampire who has to occasionally kill folks and drink their blood in order to stay alive. Can Bob and Angela find some way to get out of their dire predicament? Writer/director Glenn Andreiev offers a fresh and interesting spin on the standard vampire premise while still delivering a generous serving of grisly gore, a handy helping of tasty female nudity, and even a little sizzling soft-core sex. Moreover, Andreiev depicts a genuinely touching romance between the two engaging main characters. The game no-name cast give competent performances: Borghese and Watchman are quite good and sympathetic in the lead roles, with solid support from Edna Boyle as Angela's wicked sister Cassandra, Mimi Stuart as Bob's shameless blackmailing slut ex-girlfriend Roxanne, and Burt Wright as the vampire sisters' irascible caretaker Mr. Goodlife. Steven McKenzie's rough, grainy, but overall acceptable cinematography and Nicholas D. Kent's moody, shivery score further enhance the luridly creepy atmosphere. An enjoyable fright flick.
