Vampires Anonymous

Running time: 88 mins

It gets lonely eating the ones you love. Sure, they taste great and all, but making new friends is a bitch. Paul Popowich stars as Vic Weller, a big-city guy whoÕs moonlighting as a vampire. In an attempt to control his after-dark cravings, Vic joins Vampires Anonymous and embarks on his new life as a 12-Stepper. His first task? Big city Vic must relocate to rural North Carolina, where his diet is restricted to sheep, no people. Hilarity ensues as vampire Vic tries to Òstay the courseÓ while dodging distractions including sheep-loving farmers, Mafia vampires, and some seductive slayers, including toothsome love-interest, Taffeta Monroe, played by Michelle Stafford. Indie favorite Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Donnie Brasco) co-stars. Shot on location in Alamance County, North Carolina, Vampires Anonymous is a side-splitting comedy with bite. From Bela to Buffy, moviegoing audiences have for decades been seduced by cinematic vampires. Add this laugh-a-minute jaunt to the short list of succulent vampire must-sees. - Maya Kroth
