One has to give credit for this movie's plot: vampirism is a viral infection, and once infected, one becomes bloodthirsty. However, the execution of the film doesn't really do anything with its plot. Andrew Stevens (THE FURY) stars as Owen Urban, a brilliant young maverick scientist who is working on creating powerful enzymes. Christopher Plummer is an infected scientific genius who runs a powerful company and he wants Stevens to help him find an antidote for the vampiric virus. Kim Coates is swarthy as always as a particularly gruesome vampire, who can't quite satiate his thirst. And then comes Heather Thomas (remember her from THE FALL GUY?), a sexy volunteer at the lab who finds herself infected when an inmate bites her leg. Thomas' performance as the infected titular character turns into a slutty bloodthirsty vixen and her performance is sooo bad, it's hilarious. Plummer should be ashamed of himself for doing this role. The movie also suffers from a very weak ending with no real resolution. Filmed in 1990, this loser spawned a 1997 sequel, but don't let that convince you this one's a winner.

This isn't a gory film but it's pretty entertaining. It's from the same director as DEATH WARMED UP, so if you saw that film you may expect it to be bloodier. It kept me watching even though it's a little bit slow and I wasn't really bored by it.

It's a B movie with an interesting take on the vampire myth and it's got Heather Thomas. If you go in with that in mind I think you'll really enjoy it. Just don't try to compare it to an A list movie.

Anyone who knows abut Andy Sidaris? movies should recognize Andrew Stevens. A good looking blond male actor with limited acting skill. Heather Thomas , unless you lived under a rock was mostly famous for the TV series "The Fall Guy" don't laugh you know you watched it at least once!! And she was in a movie called Zapped with the lovable schmuck Chas from Happy Days. Gees that's going back some. At any rate Stevens plays a underground scientist who is hired by a company that is run by an evil Dr.Alcore none other than Christopher Plummer to find a cure for AIDS that has afflicted him and a captive girl (Lydie Dernier). In reality of course he is hired to find a cure for vampirism. Heather Thomas play a brief period as an employee of the company who quits in the first 10 minutes of the movie. Coerced by Stevens character she goes back to the workplace with stevens to free the captive girl only to get bitten by Dernier instead. Some laughable and rememorable line are Stevens: Don't drink anymore blood your enzymes will eat your blood and you will die. Even though it was silly,more comical than horrific,yeah i still gave it a 3 it was barely good enough for me to sit through for Ms. Thomas.

Heather thomas is hot, but how they got the title I dont know. Its rated r but it shouldn't be. Its a good movie to see if you like Heather
