This film begins with a woman named "Traci" (Morrow Faye) walking along the side of a road and being offered a ride by a young man she doesn't know. He subsequently takes her to the outskirts of the city and attempts to rape her. It's at this time that another man shows up, overpowers the rapist, and then bites him on the neck while Traci runs away in complete terror. As it turns out, the man who rescued Traci goes by the name of "William Lucas" (Ed Cannon) and he is not only a vampire but also works as a detective for the local police department. To that effect, when his partner is killed not long afterward in a shootout, Detective Lucas makes it his mission in life to hunt down those responsible and feed his insatiable appetite while at it. Meanwhile, a young television reporter named "Melanie Roberts" (Melissa Moore) becomes intrigued with the rising body count and sets out to uncover all of the details. Now rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I was initially intrigued by the synopsis and thought I would give it a try. However, after the excruciating opening sequence--replete with dreadful music lasting over 5 minutes--everything pretty much went downhill from there with one particularly bad scene (showcasing an extremely cheap-looking set of fangs) being repeated over and over again. I mean, it's one thing to replay a scene that has some merit--but it doesn't make sense to focus on the most ridiculous aspect of the film. Throw in some awful acting on the part of the main character and the end result was something that was nothing short of being laughably bad. That said, although I considered giving this film the lowest rating possible, there was a scene or two involving Melissa Moore which wasn't too bad and for that reason I gave this movie the benefit of the doubt and rated it just a notch higher.
