In the trendy world of heavy make-up and fake fangs, London scenesters escape reality by dancing through the night and losing themselves in another identity. Filmmaker Holly is captivated by the lavish theatrics of the London goth scene, and when she meets the enigmatic Vicki it appears as though she's found the perfect subject for her upcoming documentary. But could Vicki be a real vampire, as she so sincerely claims? As the relationship between Holly and Vicki intensifies, the young director realizes that her new sole mate harbors some dark secrets, and that time is fast running out for Vicki to get the one thing she needs most. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
The screenplay is a tad overwritten, but the acting is fine, and die-hard vampire fans will want to check it out.

After reading the reviews and for the first five minutes of the movie, I really expected a suckfest (no pun intended!). But with the most annoying characters killed off pretty early, this actually turned out to be a really unusual and original vampire movie. I was really quite impressed with it. I don't think your typical Twilight fan is going to get into this, but for anyone who likes their vampire films a little darker, and/or an arthouse slant, this one could be the one for you

Vampire Diary is yet another mockumentary/home movie type film. Here we follow a young documentary filmmaker that stumbles upon a real vampire. They start a lesbian relationship and soon open up to each other. As you do. It's a fascinating idea, especially for a world consumed with the sexy Twilight. It shows the absolute curse of vampirism and the dark side it brings out. It would have worked better as a straight drama without the "documentary" gimmick. The actors really don't seem comfortable. Most lines seemed force and it's like a poorly shot version of any evening soap opera. The relationships, at least, seemed real enough to make the film enjoyable but the whole interview/diary aspect is never fully explored.

I only watched this for Keith-Lee Castle, and unfortunately his...camera time was very limited.

Cool take on the vampire genre.Holly is filming a documentry/video diary about "weekend vampires", fans of the vampire myth that go out to goth clubs at the weekends and celebrate their fascination. However, when Holly meets Vikki,who claims shes a real vampire,there's an almost instant chemistry and they start a passionate affair. But when Vikki reveals she's expecting a vampire baby, they have to find the blood to feed Vikki AND the baby any which way they can. This indie British horror is pretty powerful and compelling with a good performance by Anna Walton as Vikki and has a cool goth/industrial soundtrack. A decent addition to the vampire genre.
