Dr Doom SUBS
18th Jul 2016
 Rated 5/10
A real underground UK cult item here. Quite an original take on the vampire film with much discussion of bloodlines and some inter-vampire politics thrown in at the end. There are some real stand alone highlights to this film - Green faced female vampires, underground lairs in Highgate cemetery, horrific knitting needle murders and best of all an incredible performance by Gavin Reed as Rev. Alexander Algernon Ford. Surely a blueprint for Reece Shearsmith's main character in The League Of Gentlemen - but overall it's not a great film, mainly due to the pacing, despite a modest running time it feels like it lasts for hours.

It couldn't possibly live up this amazing trailer....
