Plot: The story offers an interesting take on vampire lore. No wooden stakes or flying bats this time around, but a woman (Miriam) who turns people, so they can become her life partner. She can spend centuries with one partner, but the magic never lasts and eventually her mate will whither away. Whenever that happens, Miriam has to start the process all over again. The film focuses on such a turning point, though things do not go as planned. Her old partner fights his decline and her newest victim isn't very will

A very nice surprise. Atmospheric, strange, a little experimental even. I've always wondered where Scott's crazy mid-00 period came from and now I know. Also props for the sound design, in combination with the editing it makes for a film that still feels quite modern and relevant, almost 30 years later.
