Running Time: 98 minutes

Summary: In a world 10 years into the future, vampires make up the vast majority of the population with only 5% of the human race remaining. This presents particular challenges as the vampires' food supply - human blood - is dwindling and rationing is now the norm. There is growing evidence that vampires deprived of an adequate blood supply are themselves evolving into wild, vile creatures that attack anyone and anything in order to survive. Dr. Edward Dalton, a vampire and hematologist who works for a pharmaceutical firm, has been working on finding an artificial blood supply that will meet the vampire society's needs. He is sympathetic to humans and sees his work as a way of alleviating their suffering but his views on finding a solution change considerably when he meets someone who found a way to transform himself from being a vampire to again take human form.

Review: There is something to be said about a movie that is less than an hour and a half. Personally, I like my movies a little bit longer but there is nothing better than getting a quick B-grade movie fix on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

This isn't a "good" movie persay, but it definitely kept me interested. I am a serious fan of horror movie, zombie movies specifically but there isn't much I won't watch. The movie plot is pretty original. A world being taken over by vampires is slowly starving due to the depleting supply of human blood. After you get past Willem DaFoe's sorry excuse for an accent, it's quite entertaining!

A decent amount of gore, action and not too horrendous acting make this movie highly entertaining. If vampires are your thing, don't miss this one!

Best Quote: Elvis - "Living in a world where vampires are the dominant species is about as safe as bare backing a 5 dollar whore."
