Description: 150-year-old Lilith Silver is part seductress, part La Femme Nikita, and all vampire in this delightful send-up and homage to the bloodsucking genre. Lilith should have died in 1850, but the sinister Sir Sethane Blake grants her eternal life and the freedom to wander through time as a vampire. Flash forward to England in the 1990s: Lilith, a la the female vampire in "Innocent Blood," feasts on the blood of the people she kills as part of her job as a contract killer. She's sexy, strong-willed, and a bit of a rake. Hired to knock off the members of an underground sect, Lilith stays one step ahead of a British detective, with buckets of blood overflowing as she plows her way to the film's denouement. A fanciful farce, with wry commentary (by Lilith in voiceover) on the foibles and myths of vampire hunters. It's kind of a " 'The Avengers' meets Roger Corman."

Image: Saucy interiors; bright, vibrant exteriors

Sound:Nothing spectacular.
