This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

If you like sexy violent gangster vampire comedies (and, c'mon now, who doesn't?), this is the movie for you. It's directed by John Landis in a mode similar to his earlier "American Werewolf in London." Anne Parillaud has winning charm as an Audrey Hepburn-Bela Lugosi hybrid (though neither of them did frontal nudity) and Anthony LaPaglia makes a fine unflappable detective. However, it's the late great character actor Robert Loggia who completely steals the film as an over-the-top Pittsburgh crime boss who discovers there are real advantages to being turned into a vampire. (If you remember him in nothing else, you'll recall Loggia as the toy company boss who dances with Tom Hanks in "Big.") It isn't intellectually deep or complicated, but it's plenty of fun. What's not to like?

Vampires are not supposed to exist, but then Joe met Marie. Her beauty caught him off guard, but he would not allow himself to become her next victim. Her intentions mirrored his; to get Sallie (The Shark) Macelli, who slipped through both of their fingers, but her rules did not apply to him. But he found himself trapped, stuck between her and a syndicate of crime that had become even more deadly. A dark tale of love and lust plunges through the heart, holding it in suspense and intrigue. Conflict and terror deliver in a driven storyline that weaves together the fabric of crime and the haunt of fiction, and the bite of comedy sinks in deep. The complexities of characters come to life through the touch of talent, and drama and horror keep us riveted, awaiting the end. And the sun rises over a brilliantly crafted story that blends together Lost Boys and The Sopranos and that dangles us across the strings of passion, and we are entranced by another classic masterpiece of vampires,Innocent Blood.

This film has not aged well...The plot line is that a hot female vampire who can't act her way out of a wet paper bag decides that she is going to start feeding on Mafia associates because they deserve it, anyway. (Or, as she euphemistically puts it, going out for Italian.) She drains the local godfather, but fails to decapitate him afterwards, causing him to come back to life and convert his whole crew into vampires. She teams up with an undercover cop to hunt them down.That's the plot in a nutshell. The rest is filler.Some other notes. THere are a number of scenes on television culled from better vampire movies starring Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi. There's also a scene with Dan Quayle looking especially goofy on TV. (Not sure why they included this, other than it was 1992, and they wanted to ridicule Dan Quayle.) The lead actress does a number of full nude shots and a pretty graphic sex scene you'd never see in a movie today.The highlight of this movie is Robert Loggia playing the Vampire Don. "When you're made in this family, you're made by me!"

I love this movie, it has a great plot line, the acting is top notch, and there is not one bad thing I could say about this movie. I was watching my VHS today and couldn't help but think that is so much like GTA 3 but GTA 3 was made eight years later. Then I got on here and made the movie video game connections. The mafia crime boss in the movie played by Robert Loggia is called Sal or Sallie the name in GTA 3 is Salvator or Sal. The girls (love interest) in both are Marie and Maria. Also Robert Loggia played the voice of a crooked cop Ray in GTA 3. If you can rent it I seriously suggest you watch the movie and try to remember it was made eight years before the video game. Perhapse it is just coincidence but even the street shots remind me of the game. Maybe the folks at Rockstar got some ideas from the movie, but I think it is better than any crime/horror you will ever see.
