SYNOPSIS: At her boyfriend's workplace, beautiful Paula (Heather Thomas) accidentally gets injected with an experimental serum which turns its victims into bloodthirsty vampires. Owen, the boyfriend, has to risk his own life to cure her with a hazardous transfusion, which he does. And oh, by the way: she's been through a hideously difficult physical and medical condition; so has he. What do they do? Make love on the operating tables, during the transfusion, of course. But hey, it's Heather Thomas, after all.

(Adopting a valley-girl attitude) "'I, like, work with these vampires, and they infected this chick, and now she's in a really bad mood!'"	Sorry, this clip has not yet been made available!

Worst Cover Copy

Hot Tip: Watch the Film Before You Write the Cover Copy On the front cover is a naked woman wrapped in an American flag, blood trickling from her mouth. The woman is not even Heather Thomas. "An Exotic Thriller" is the subtitle (emphasis theirs). On the back, under a picture of Heather, it reads, "Science created the perfect woman -- with only one flaw. She had everything to live for -- but no way to die." First off, science didn't create her. The only thing "Science" did was to create the serum that turns ordinary schmucks into second-rate vampires. Secondly, these "vampires" aren't immortal or immune to injury; they're just normal people (perhaps a bit stronger) who maniacally crave blood. They can be killed like anyone else. Thirdly, she -- unlike the audience about halfway through -- didn't want to die, as it implies.
