Pretty slow. Van is no professional actor, and the amount of time he spends in front of the camera becomes oppressive. There is some interest in the role of the conjuring scenes, and the role of Lori the investigator in general. In general, however, the film is not terribly focused. Perhaps the attempt was to produce an off beat, hip vampire movie, perhaps even an art movie. Thankfully, the job was so botched that you can hardly notice any attempt at art and it just turns out to be a boring, slow vampire flick. The tepid erotic and feast scenes are almost laughable in their lack of energy. The sympathetic vamp just doesn't exude any energy, and thus we must toss about for something to focus on. In vain. Van, the heavy, was just such a poor actor, you're sure his scenes are dubbed, but they apparently were not. Van's scenes were even worse than those involving the anemic vampire. In general, Beware of any mention of video, showbiz, or film in horror movies. All in all, an aptly named film.</div> <bR> <div> * Blood * Violent * Strong Language * Sexual Situations * Nudity *  </div> <div> * Gory *</div> <bR> <div> Plot Summary: Michael, arriving at the airport, gets a message to meet someone at Melrose Avenue Boutique. The news reports a third "Vampire killing" has taken place. Michael metets a woman whom he has paid sight unseen to investigate the killings. The chatty investigator is interested in the occult. Michael confronts a surly video artist, Van, who is videotaping the scene of the 3rd murder, but who apparently decides the artist was harmless. Michael unfortunately dawdles in a rock club and the viewer is subjected to too much techno pop. Michael decides on his quarry and she's brought to his apartment. Our video artist happens to be doing a video including Jenny--Michael's latest victim, and he notices the marks on her breast. Van realizes Michael is using Jenny to watch over him. The investigator finds nothing on Michael in the computer and becomes intrigued. She shows up at his apartment. It comes out that he's been having vidions and that she's been causing them inadvertently by conjuring. While he's there in the apartment, she conjures one of Jenny's bloody death. Jenny shows up at Van's and tries to steal the tape of her with the mark on her breast, but Van is ready and has decided to lure Michael using her. He sets her up with a blood draining device and waits. The investigator, Lori, goes into another tance and connects again with Michael now trapped at Van's.</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
