This entire movie would seem to have the raw elements to have an interesting movie... but the problem is, they only have about 40 minutes of script. Luke Grimes portrays a hedonistic artist living in Manhattan. (think Issac from Heroes) He is the next big thing and acts like it, sleeping with women, doing drugs, drinking and staying out all night. However, he ends up diagnosed with fatal lung cancer. Instead of getting treatment he decides just to be even more hedonistic. All of this should have taken about 10 minutes, but instead takes about 30 to unfold. While this is happening men are being killed by a massive blood letting all over Manhattan and the police are on the case. Finally Max decides that his hedonistic lifestyle isn't getting anyplace and tells his agent to get him work. This includes a model. This is when a strange model shows up seemingly out of no place and dun dun dun... is a vampire. She wants to be painted because she doesn't know what she looks like (given that mirrors don't show her). I have no idea how she found him.
Ok, now we are getting someplace but there is a time stalling problem. You have to open yourself up to the artist or he can't paint you. He needs inspiration. And of course, a vampire has trouble opening themselves up. This "struggle" goes on for about 30 minutes. Sarah Romer is just horrible and stiff as the vampire (can't tell if it was direction) as if she was told that to have an other worldly quality she had to be stiff. There is never any sun in this movie. Everything is dark and blue. Finally, the ending seemed to make zero sense to me and just seems like they had no ending.
