A cousin stays overnight to a couples place as both of her parents are missing.
The husband suspects that she is a vampire as he keeps seeing corpses and her biting into them in his nightmares.
Suddenly he becomes a vampire and hell breaks loose and must find a way to put an end to this.

 

A very creative and witty short film as well as many shocking scenes and cleverly well done with the blood effects.
Plus it's black & white as it's kind of like a take on those old Bela Lugosi vampire horror films and it's done in great taste and sometimes the story is hard to follow but it's nonstop fun all the way through showing a vampire's craving for blood to feed their hunger.
I'd love to see a sequel to this film in which leaves a door open to one.

The acting is in nice taste as we have a good performance by Gina Rossi as the vampiress in which she does well acting off as if she's innocent and then showing her monstrous expressions too.
Joel Tong
does his job nicely with his boy next door looks and brings his character across very nicely.
Lisa Davis
also pulled her part off well as an innocent looking virgin type for the story.
However, there's not alot of lines or dialogue so it's hard to judge their talents but seems to pull off a good source of energy to what they had to do.

Lots of blood drooling out of vampires mouth as well as bloody bites too.

Craig D. Wallace sure did a fine job making this look like an old fashioned vampire flick wwith his camera shots and the people's actions too.
There's a very good take on the opening which was used close to the end of the film too with Joel Tong entering the doorway to his house looking bloody.
We also have a good shot on Tong on the top steps with Gina Rossi on the stairway with their encountering towards one another along with Lisa Davis introducing one another.
We also have many pointless shots on Tong answering his phone at the office while stressed out at his work.
There's a nice shot with Tong sleeping with Rossi in bed along with a good dream sequence on Tong suddenly staring at Rossi slowly turning her head up and then showing a vicious expression exposing her fangs.
A good shot again on Tong walking up the stairs speaking on his cell with a corpse on a stairway this time and him looking shocked.
A nice shot on Tong slowly opening a door to peek inside a room.
There's many perfect shots on Tong waking up and gasping from a nightmare.
A good shot again with Tong peeking in a room and then Rossi looking like a vampiress staring at him looking out of it and a close up shot on her mouth speaking.

Philip Glass composes some good old fashioned organ music which really suits the story along with the odd chanting sounds too as well as the bangs for the jumping moments and at times some piano music too.
