A vampire (Daniel Goddard from the Beastmaster tv series) falls in love with a woman whose father is a scientist working for the Illuminati (you might remember them as the big bad in Lara Croft Tomb Raider:) Why an immortal would fall for someone as plain as Katherine Hawkes (star and writer of the film) is one of the mysteries in this movie. The relationship causes complications with the Illuminati who control what goes on in the world and who are obsessed with the search for immortality. The Illuminati currently think vampires may be the key to never ending life.
Meanwhile, in the world of ordinary humans, the police hire a vampire slayer to help eliminate a rogue pack of vampires.
What happens in this movie is of little interest, but it does lead to one of the most unsatisfying endings to a film I have seen.
A film with Matthias Hues (Dark Angel), Gary Daniels (American Streetfighter), and Martin Kove (The Karate Kid) should have much better action scenes than Kiss Of The Vampire does. It is even questionable if Kiss Of The Vampire has any genuine action scenes. The vampires are the most unthreatening I have seen. They dress and act like extras in a video clip for a soft metal band.
In the long, long list of cheap and dodgy movies I have seen, Kiss Of The Vampire may be the cheapest and dodgiest. It’s production values make day time soaps seem sophisticated. My favourite piece of cheapness was the room in someone’s house they attempted to use as a restaurant. Adding some tables does not make a living room look like a fancy restaurant.
Maybe there is a competition between producers to make the worse vampire film possible. Kiss of The Vampire is even worse than ">Dracula 3000.
