Ultraviolet1998
“They look like us. They act like us. For centuries vampires have co-existed in harmony with humans... until now.”
Created by Joe Ahearne
The premise
With the growing threat of viral epidemic and the possibility of worldwide environmental catastrophe, humanity has an unprecedented ability to destroy itself, and vampires need to take control of their threatened food source. CIB, an elite government force, has been formed to combat the vampire threat. But when eternal life is offered, no one is beyond temptation...
Horror Vault's take
In a grimy, grounded 1990s Britain, a covert government unit operates in the shadows — hunting vampires not with capes and coffins, but with clinical precision and cutting-edge science. When a detective stumbles into this clandestine world, he must question everything he believes about loyalty, mortality, and what it truly means to be human. Ultraviolet strips the vampire myth down to its cold, bureaucratic bones, reimagining bloodsuckers as a calculating species with an agenda far more unsettling than simple predation. The result is a taut, intelligent thriller that rewards patience and leaves a lasting chill.
