Leonard Maltin liked this movie. So let's see how it is.
The premise is an interesting one. A woman from the late 70s is discovered to be the only living heir to the Elizabeth Bathory. They kidnap her and take her to a human farm where "cattle" are drained of blood to feed over 70,000 modern vampires.
Out would be Bathory though is having none of it and is resiting her conditioning.
Now there are a lot of neat ideas here.
I like the idea of Elizabeth Bathory's heir. I like the secret society of "vampires" (they are not real vampires, but do have red eyes).
I even like the cattle farm idea, 20 years before Buffy would explore the same idea in "Doppelgangland".
Sadly it was combined rather poorly. Not the plot so much, though it is slow, it is the execution of that plot.
Plus the acting, for the most part, is pretty bad.
I had higher hopes, but I suppose if it had been better I would have seen it already.
