Jimmy (Michael Coon) is a serial killer, and his trademark is that he drains his victims off their blood. But he isn't a bad person per se, he just does it for his girlfriend Rachel (Brittney Saylor), whom he loves very much, but who has recently been kidnapped by a vampire's minions to be held in a dungeon for feeding purposes. Jimmy has freed her though, but too late to keep her from turning into a vampire, and now he has to feed her to keep her from turning into a blood thirsty monster. But Rachel needs more blood every day.

Scott (Kenneth R. Root) and his daughter Jody (Lucy Turner) were saved from a serial killer (Rob Miles) by Catherine (April Jennings), a "true" vampire (procreated by two vampires) rather than a turned one, but she makes them her consorts.

Catherine's caretaker Jack (Nick Faust) becomes Scott and Jody's mentor and tries to introduce them into their new life and responsibilities. But Jack also has another task, to track down a rogue vampire, Rachel, as she has escaped from Catherine's dungeon, and is now a threat to society and the secrecy of vampires alike. Thing is, Jack is so tired of being the caretaker of Catherine - oh not because he's fed up with her, quite the contrary, he just wants to have a quiet and normal life, preferably with Maggie (P.J. Woodside), the waitress of his favourite diner he has long fallen in love with and vice versa.

Thing is, Rachel's father has hired a trio of vampire hunters (Joe Estevez, Steve Hudgins, Jessica Dockrey) to get her back at any which cost, and when Rachel and Jimmy find themselves on the run, they unwittingly step onto a few too many toes ...

 

Vampire movies are a dime a dozen these days, but The Caretakers really brings some interesting aspects to the genre, and does manage to tell a very complex, multi-layered story on a budget. What makes the movie so special is that it doesn't distinguish between good or bad, right or wrong, but shows all characters as victims of circumstances - even über-vampire Catherine has traces of good in her, everyone just vying for a better life ... which ultimately just leads to disaster for most. And these broken characters are brought to life rather nicely by a great ensemble cast, and a well-structured script and direction focusing on the characters rather than spectacle make this a very unusual and entirely enjoyable genre film.
