The MovieFairly low budget TV movie, based on the Florida murder of
a middle-aged couple by a Kentucky-based 'vampire clan'. Made in a drama-documentary
style, the movie focusses on the couple's younger daughter, whose infatuation
with the charismatic gang leader (and self proclaimed vampire) led unwittingly
to her parents death. The film emphasis the hooro of the police, and the general
listlessness of the gang; it's never quite clear whether drink, drugs, personality
or mental illness are involved, leaving us with the uneasy feeling that it 'just
happened'. If it were not for the 'vampire' claims, and the age of the gang
(about 16), this crime would never have hit national headlines - or been glorified
by this move. A sad celebration of sad kids led by a charismatic evil one.
