The Addiction (1995)
Drama
"I have crossed oceans of time to find you..."
"The vampire has facinated us more than any other monster or supernatural creature since the beginning of myth and storytelling. In mythologies around the world, demons and half-humans who suck off the vital force of the living, robbing them of health, and life itself, have been held in fear and dread.
This terror holds elements of both repulsion and attraction. Since the Eastern vampire cult entered Western arts as a literary device in the eighteenth century, we have become less repulsed and more attracted to the vampire. The vampire of the arts is so much more human-like than his folklore counterpart, and has been endowed with numerous attractive characteristics. This vampire is the modern Devil, who uses our fatal attraction to seduce and trick us out of our souls."

Edition Details:
Runtime: minutes
Synopsis: A cop investigating a serial killer who leaves bodies mutilated and drained of blood loses his partner. He is called in to work the case by a rather odd collaborative government agency who disclose some startling information. Vampires are real and have now "come out". They want to be part of the world, to join with humans into a shared society. The problem? Inner politics. Not all the vampires are happy about this new collaboration. The killer is making his social statement well known: he wants war. The cop is partnered with the best of the vampire's Police force, Aaron (who happens to be a refugee from Nazi-occupied Poland, where he lost his wife and daughter). Add to this the subplot - the government can "control" the vampire population with the threat of a new virus that only kills vampires - or so they believe. The chase for the killer runs them by an ecclectic group of characters until, surprise! the killer is the last (read: first) one you suspect.

Starring: Marisa Ryan, Robert Floyd (III), Amy Jo Johnson, Christopher Wiehl, Fred Norris (I), Jon Huertas
Director: Robert Masciantonio
Writer: Robert Masciantonio
Runtime: 90 minutes
Synopsis: Part love story and all horror film, Viktoria, a girl bitten 8 years prior who exists upon the edge of society (a New Jersey boardwalk to be exact.) Attempting to lead a 'normal' life, she chooses to inhabit an apartment instead of a cavern and procures her blood through (for the most part) less than homicidal means. Enter Charles (Call me Chaz), Viktoria's ex-boyfriend, who in addition to being an Undead vicious killer has a nasty penchant for stalking. Aided in his efforts to terrify Viktoria by a 'Lost Boys' bunch of vamps, his pursuit is not merely limited to her, but also to her friends, and to particularly less than enthusiastic vampiress Alicia. Throw into this mix Seth, an outsider who does a poor job disguising both a dangerous secret (he's "more" than just on vacation) and his growing affection for Viktoria, and the token black homosexual, Darius, for comic relief, and you have a rather quirky, but interesting flick.

Synopsis: Scottish archaelogist Angus Flint discovers an odd skull amid the ruins of a convent which he is excavating. Shortly thereafter, Lady Sylvia Marsh returns to Temple House, a nearby mansion, far earlier than expected. At a party in the village, Angus meets Lord James D'Ampton, who has just inherited his family's lands, right next to Temple House. Angus learns of the D'Ampton Worm, a huge dragon/snake which an earlier D'Ampton killed by cutting it in half. (There's a pretty catchy rock-folk song that tells the D'Ampton Worm legend.) As people begin disappearing and acting strangely over the next day or two, the skull is stolen from Angus' room, and the watch of a missing person is found in a cavern which was the legendary home of the D'Ampton worm. Angus and James discover that there was an ancient cult which worshiped the worm as a god, and theorize that the creature somehow survived its "destruction", but was trapped inside the cavern. The remainder of the movie shows Angus, James, and Mary Trent attempting to stop Lady Marsh from freeing the creature... - Summary by Alik Widge

Rated:
Starring: Rod Steiger, Casper Van Dien, Gabriel Casseus, Kim Cattrall, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Udo Kier
Storm Entertainment
Director: Richard Elfman
Writer: Matthew Bright
ASIN: 6305588171
Synopsis: The filmmakers set the gee piece in Los Angeles, a city cynical and violent enough to allow vampires to roam without much notice. The Hollywood lifestyle has influenced these vampires, though, as they stage elaborate parties where nude humans are kept in cages and carted out for main courses ("Is he Italian? I was wanting Italian tonight!"), as well as feast on the likes of screenwriters, producers, and entertainment lawyers (talk about bloodsuckers). In terms of plot, not much is going on here. A very serious and driven Dr. Frederick Van Helsing arrives in L.A., from Germany, in search of Dallas, a vampire who turned his son 20 years ago. Needing a partner, Van Helsing puts out an ad and picks up a Crips gangster member named Time Bomb, creating perhaps the goofiest vampire-hunting tag team in film history. "Do you believe in vampires?" Van Helsing first asks his young partner. "As long as you're writing the checks, I'll take out anyone," he replies. Straight to video doesn't get much better than this. --Dave McCoy

Shadow of the Vampire
(2001)
Rated:
Starring: John Malkovich, Willem Dafoe, Catherine McCormack, Cary Elwes,
Saturn Films
Director: E. Elias Merhige
ASIN: B00005CC73
Synopsis: John Malkovich is aptly loony as the eccentric director F.W. Murnau, whose passion in filming the 1922 classic Nosferatu leads to the extreme casting of Schreck as the vampire, a vision of evil who, in this movie's delightfully twisted imagination, actually is a vampire, sucking the blood of cast and crewmembers who've dismissed Schreck as an overzealous method actor. As these on-set maladies and "accidents" continue, Schreck wields greater control over Murnau, who descends into a kind of obsessive art-for-art's-sake madness until diva costar Greta Schroeder is served up as the actor's ultimate motivation. Merhige and his actors (including intrepid cameraman Fritz Wagner) have great fun with this ghastly escapade, and the humor is kept delicately subtle to balance the movie's artistic aspirations. --Jeff Shannon
