Quiz
This film was shot in 11 days on a budget of $50,000.

Blooper
The opening scenes of Croft's attack on Leslie and Paul and the police department's investigation of the attack are supposed to take place sometime between 20 to 30 years before the main events of the film (which take place decades later in the early 1970s), but the men's long hair and the cut of the detective's suit in these scenes are clearly contemporary to 1972 (the year of the film's release).

Citazioni
James Eastman: [voiceover] My mother found it difficult to tell me that I wasn't like other children; I could never share a life with whole human beings. I slowly learned that the thing that raped my mother and fathered me was no living feeling man, but a malignant force of cancer that refused to be destroyed. It wasn't only her blood my mother gave to keep me alive, her youth and her own life was sucked up into the syringe that fed me.

Curiosità sui crediti
At the end of the film, the words "Fin -- ou peut etre pas," appear on the screen, which are French for "The End -- or maybe not."

Versioni alternative
The film's UK Vipco DVD version is identical to its original theatrical cut, which was cut by the BBFC to remove a scene of a woman cutting her breast with a knife to feed her child blood and scenes of blood flowing down her arm after an injection with, and an extraction of, the needle of a hypodermic syringe.

Offbeat & vicious

A vamp by the name of Caleb Croft rises from his crypt in a cemetery and happens upon a couple making out in their car. After killing the man and having a few sips of his blood, Croft rapes the woman in an empty grave. Eventually, the woman gives birth to a half human, half vampire baby. In order to feed him, she uses a syringe to extract her own blood, eventually leading to her demise. Her now grown son seeks vengeance against his father and is determined to track him down. Did I mention that Croft is now teaching night classes on the occult?

This offbeat vampire film has many interesting twists in it's storyline. One of Croft's students longs to be a vampire, for instance. As the vile vamp himself, Michael Pataki comes across as cold-blooded and cruel. While the film isn't very bloody, the acts of violence he commits seem more vicious than the norm. William Smith plays the son, and he reminded me more of a bump on a log than anything. I suppose that's just the part, that of a secluded outsider with no world experience. There's a fight towards the end that is surprisingly well-done. The film isn't as good as director John Hayes earlier effort, "Dream No Evil", but it's a unique addition to the vampire sub-genre all the same.
