It all seems like a pretty ordinary murder case: Rich lady Miyako's
(Aya Sugimoto) maid was killed and she presents investigating detective
Hoshino (Kanji Tsuda) with Ukyo (Jun Kaname) as the main suspect. But when
Hoshino makes his own investigations on Ukyo, he witnesses him chaining up
a girl and drinking her blood. Now that's bad, but what's worse is that
Hoshino is caught witnessing the incident, and thus Ukyo tries to kill
him too, and being of supernatural strength, he almost succeeeds, if it
wasn't for Brigitte, Miyako's new, martial arts-wise telepathic maid, who saves him and
brings him to her mistress. Miyako drinks Hoshino's blood and gives him
some of hers, which cures him, and gets him ahead in his investigations -
but what he finds out is something he doesn't like: Miyako and Ukyo are
actually both vampires, and it was actually Miyako who turned Ukyo into a
vampire centuries back, when they were lovers - but they have since become
sworn enemies. The worst part though is that Miyako, by saving Hoshino,
has turned him into a vampire as well, and he has become a pawn in her fight
against Ukyo. After much to and fro, Hoshino finally has to face Ukyo
for a showdown, but since he has since become a vampire as well and had
quite a bit of training from Brigitte, they are even opponents
this time around, and ultimately, Hoshino even manages to defeat and kill
Ukyo - and to bring the whole affair to an end, he kills Miyaki as well
... A completely over-the-top movie, but one that remains
serious throughout, despite its rather silly screenplay, its many
fetishistic elements and excuses to feature nudity ... and to a point,
that actually works, as the film's strraight-faced approach delightfully
clashes with its very own silliness - however, at more than 90 minutes,
the film runs way too long to really maintain this balance of seriousness
and nonsense throughout, and too many talky scenes don't help the whole
affair all that much either. This would probably have been great cut down
to 70 minutes and paced more frantically, like it is, it's still an ok
movie, but nothing to write home about.
