Directed by Gerardo de Leon
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Image Entertainment)
A sequel to The Blood Drinkers, this film focuses on a Filipino family cursed with vampirism. Grandma is inflicted with the curse and kept locked in the basement, but eventually nabs her son on the neck. He becomes a power obsessed vampire and infects family members, servants and anyone else who gets close to the family. His sister and her fiance become the main focus of the film, their doomed love striving to survive, even beyond the grave. The romanticism of their relationship becomes overbearing, complete with swelling violins and ghostly apparitions. Still, de Leon effectively utilizes theatrical lighting and authentic sets to maximize atmosphere.
