    plot:
    Director Abel Ferrara applies his eccentric vision to the vampire genre with this cerebral “Art”
    film about graduate philosophy student Kathleen Conklin (Lili Taylor), who is bitten by an
    aggressive female vampire (Annabella Sciorra) and soon spirals into a nightmarish world of
    blood addiction and existential angst. Driven by her merciless condition, she attacks several
    of her pretentious friends and classmates (even her professor) and mainlines their blood like
    heroin. Just as she becomes more bold in seeking prey on the streets of New York, she is
    waylaid by a potential victim — actually a sophisticated vampire himself named Peina
    (Christopher Walken), who chooses to control his own blood addiction through fasting and
    meditation. Seeming to regain her self-control, she eventually completes her graduate thesis
    (helped by a bit of vampire nepotism) and holds a party to celebrate, inviting the entire
    faculty as well as members of her new “family” to join in the festivities. Although the parallels
    to heroin addiction are in plain view, this is also a study in the essential evil of humankind — a
    theme evident in much of Ferrara’s work. — Cavett BinionRead More »
