The premise
A camera crew unearths a thousand year old vampire from Mesopotamia. Years after his rise from the grave, the vampire becomes a famous horror film director and holds auditions for his up and coming film. Four young hopefuls are chosen and are invited to spend the night at the vampire's house. At dinner the vampire reveals his true nature to his guests and the real reason why they are there, to kill him before dawn, as he has grown bored with his existence.
Horror Vault's take
An ancient vampire who has reinvented himself as a celebrated horror film director lures four aspiring actors to his mansion under the guise of a career-making audition. Once seated at his table, the guests discover the evening's agenda is far more dangerous than a screen test. Equal parts black comedy and gothic thriller, this late-80s Italian TV movie revels in its own self-aware B-movie charm. The tension between hunter and hunted plays out against a backdrop of showbiz glamour and old-world menace.
