I remember when I first came across this TV movie I thought Anthony Perkins is in it, so it might be good, but beyond him there may not be anything redeeming. Just on the fact that I had never heard of it. Then I saw Stuart Gordon was the director and have really enjoyed RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND so I was kind of excited. It is worth a look, but do remember this is a TV movie, so it will not be as gory as the two movies mentioned before.

After the mother of Katherine Thatcher (well played by Mia Sara) dies Katherine is then on a quest to find her father. She is shown mysterious dreams and is being followed. She unearths information about her father and learns he is a vampire. Her father is Anthony Perkins and he does quite a fine job in the role. A thing that is different about the vampires in this movie and I admit I am not 100% sure why they did this is they do not have fangs, their tongues have fangs. Kind of weird, but it doesn't seem to really take away from the movie.

It is the acting of the two main characters Mia Sara and Anthony Perkins that do bring this movie up. As well as the more than capable direction from Stuart Gordon. Worth a look if you can find it.
