The star of the movie is Holly and she is making a documentary on "weekend vampires" or people that dress up as vampires to go to clubs. In the process she finds Vicki (a pre-Hellboy Anna Walton) recording her and she is recording the crowd. Vicki tries to seduce Holly, but Holly instead just lets her sleep on the couch. Eventually Vicki worms her way into Holly's life. And that is when the bodies start showing up.
Vicki and Holly eventually do have sex and we discover that Vicki is a "real" vampire. She has been feeding on people close to Holly and the club scene. We learn that Vicki had been raped by a male vampire and left to die. Now she was pregnant and needs to feed more and more.
The interesting facet of this movie is guessing whether or not Vicki is in fact a vampire or just insane. She uses a bolt gun, like what you use to kill animals for slaughter, and you never see fangs. Holly is dragged right on down with her and you are left guessing till the end.
The "found footage" aspect is very interesting. Giving it a good solid indie feel but also a very intimate one. You really can see Vicki and Holly's downward spiral into madness and depravity.
There are some notes missing, but the acting is top notch and the direction is great.
I won't spoil the ending for you since I feel this one I would recommend.

The typo in your headline is inspiring -- There's a world of movie potential in "Vampire Dairy" ;)
