Requiem for a Vampire (2006)

Horror/Drama     Not Rated

Plot

An incestuous and industrious pair of modern-day vampires finds their clever manner of acquiring sustenance threatened by a nosy New Jersey health inspector and a determined investigative reporter in director John Orrichio's sexualized tale of life among the undead. The LeGaults know well that to stalk the streets for prey is to leave themselves open to exposure. Instead of seeking out blood the old-fashioned way, the LeGaults opt to open a blood donation center that will provide them with the nourishment they need to survive without the risks that go along with using their fangs. A New Jersey health inspector named Jerry is on to them, though, and along with a little help from intrepid reporter Phyllis, he soon prepares to rip the lid off of the LeGault's bizarre scam. When a chance encounter with two students of the occult reveals the true motivation behind the LeGaults' philanthropic front, however, the stage is set for a battle against the supernatural that could claim the lives of those who dare venture into the dark world of the supernatural.

Acting

Pretty decent, though there are a lot of characters and none that are really strongly focused on. Cast does include Cult horror veterans Debbie D and Deanna Demko.

Gore

Some blood during the vampire attacks/feedings.

Sex/Nudity

a women is seen topless while comforting her brother, women are seen fully nude while getting dressed and again during a vampire funeral ceremony. The is also a skinless sex scene between 2 male characters.

Final Thoughts

Not to be confused with Jean Rollin's "Requiem for a Vampire" from 1971, This is a slow moving  sometimes bizarre Vampire story. There is little gore and little action, and the story does drag at some points, but generally does just enough to keep the audiences attention. Nothing more nothing less. For fans of old school Hammer style vampire story's this may be exactly what your looking for. If that's not your type of thing, than i can't really say I'd recommend this as it doesn't really go above and beyond the age old vampire stuff.
