For their first date, Ginger (Anne Rizzo) takes Joe (Jose Guns Alves) to a "literature liaison" to a mansion where they are welcomed by Valentine (Geena Matuson) and the mysterious Edgar (Scorpio), owner of the mansion. The evening starts light enough with dinner, but when Ginger gets lost on her way to the bathroom, the cards are shuffled anew, and while Edgar tries to make Ginger his mate, Valentine flirts heavily with Joe - and since both Ginger and Joe have been drugged by them they even succeed. However, this seems to be only a prelude for much worse things to come ...

The story behind Disregard is an interesting one, as it started life as quite an ambitious feature that was eventually abandoned though, only to become the basis of Disregard the Vampire - A Mike Messier Documentary, which basically gives a rundown on the challenges with the movie. However, several years later the footage of the movie was re-assembled, but not in the intended way but as a silent 15-minute short, complete with title cards and everything - and the result is quite fascinating, as the film, basically a power struggle between alpha males with the one side really standing no chance, gets some extra dynamics by having the dialogue cut down (so as to not avalanche the audience with title cards) and concentrating more on the visuals instead. And here's where the film falls a little short, as since it hasn't been shot as a silent, some shots lack a bit in visual urgency to make up for the absence of dialogue and on-screen sounds. But even so, this is a pretty unusual film that's well worth a watch.
