When John Pierre a doctor himself is sent to prison for medical malpractice Dr. Callistratus makes sure that he is sent to his prison so he can aid him in his research.
The thing to note right away about this film.is how misleading the title is there are no vampires in this film its just a mad scientist film the only parallel with Vampires is blood. The acting is great and the sets including the hand drawn ones all look great. I have to say what starts off as an interesting film quickly started to feel like it went on too long for me it had some good moments but overall its pretty forgettable and non eventful apart from those smashing dog collars the hight of satanic 80s metal fashion
