Nomination Year: 2013

SYNOPSIS: Benjamin Latham, an innocent colonial Tory doctor, is hanged. He awakens 200 years later as a vampire with poisonous saliva. Apparently, the villagers' powerful belief and superstition caused their anti-vamp burial precautions to backfire, creating the very creature they most despised! In the (1989) present, Latham discovers his great-great-great-grandnephew is also a vampire, of a different stripe--an evil one that must be stopped. It's an anachronistic mano-y-mano. A disjointed film. It jumps from place to place…and I don't mean just the hard-to-read data on the DVD.

Smithee Award Nominations

Most Ludicrous Premise

Worst Special Effect
Stop-Motion Regeneration More Dr. Lubbock, as Latham "regenerates."

Worst Acting
Um, Dr., Like, Lubbock, You Know This Michael J. Pollard guy's been in a bunch of Smithee films, and TV, like Lois & Clark. Just phonin' this one in.	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!
