Written & Directed by Rob Stefaniuk
World Premiere at TIFF
Starring: Rob Stefaniuk, Jessica Paré, Dave Foley, Malcolm McDowell, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, Moby, Dimitri Coats, Alex Lifeson, Carole Pope
Jennifer, (Paré looking just as lovely as she can,) the bassist in a travelling bar band, comes back from a one night stand after a gig different.. she's pale and magnetically beautiful, an instant crowd sensation. It's not long, of course, before the rest of the band succumbs to the vampire allure, along with the crowds that finally begin to appreciate their ethereal pop (much of it also penned by Stefaniuk). It's just that being a vampire, as we all know these days, comes with a few inconvenient truths of its own.
The verdict is: it's fun, the soundtrack's pretty cool, and you'll enjoy the cast. It's getting a World Premiere at TIFF as part of the Contemporary World Cinema programme - check the listings for times and dates - the Showcase happens 6:30pm Friday, September 11 at Yonge-Dundas Square.
