East meets west in Doctor Vampire, a hilarious & bawdy Category III horror-comedy about
- naturally
- vampires. TVB star Bowie Lam stars as a Hong Kong doctor whose trip to the UK has certain medical consequences. While staying at a brothel, Bowie gets infected with vampire blood thanks to a love bite from the comely Ellen Chan. He returns to Hong Kong with no memory of the incident, but girlfriend Sheila Chan & sister Crystal Kwok have their suspicions. The situation is complicated further when Ellen arrives in Hong Kong, followed soon by the head vampire (Walter Kjaer) himself, who longs for Chinese blood because, as he puts it, "e; Its like Ginseng!"e; Will Hong Kong be able to withstand a visit from one of Draculas ultra-powerful brood? Doctor Vampire plays fast & loose with vampire lore, but compensates with bits of gore, tasteless gross-out gags, & an action-horror climax as energetic & entertaining as anything from the eighties & nineties Hong Kong Cinema fun factory.
