A new take on vampirism: it gives you no noticeable external characteristics (except enhanced strength), and it's more like an uncontrollable drug addiction - with blood being the "prize". This is a rather anemic production, but it gets a blood transfusion from its cast: Andrew Stevens and Christopher Plummer do what they have to do adequately, but the standouts are Kim Coates (playing yet another complete sleazeball) and Heather Thomas. Just like in "Cyclone", Heather is introduced to the audience while working out in a gym, which I suppose is only fitting given her body, but she doesn't really let loose until she is "infected" with the vampire virus; from that point on, she goes on these wild mood swings, from seductive to suicidal, and Heather has fun with the role. Unfortunately, the climax of the film is weak: seeing Stevens prepare his therapy process for about 10 straight minutes is not that exciting. ** out of 4.
