Eternal Blood (aka Sangre Eterna) (2002)

A group of college students in Chile become so involved in Eternal Blood, a Dungeons and Dragons style game about vampires, it becomes unclear to them what is reality and what is fiction. I saw this film dubbed into English by what sounded like the team that does Iron Chef. The voices were comical and made the film like a Latin American soap opera. I watched it again in Spanish and that gave it a darker, more surreal tone. Eternal Blood has some fresh ideas, the exploration of the goth scene in Chili was interesting, and the ending is not what you may expect, which is always a bonus.
