Betty runs a book club on a vampire romance novel from decades ago, and
what's special about it is that this club actually meets at the school
library parts of the novel's set at. Thing is, the school has actually
forbidden her club because the book in question is actually said to be
indirectly responsible for triple murders every year leading up to blood
moon that according to the novel are committed to keep the vampire lovers
at its center fed for another year, but are believed to be committed by
fans of the novel. Unsurprisingly Betty's club is actually found out by
the school's principal, but surprisingly, she's asked to continue running
it - because you know, the next blood moon is coming up, and two girls
have been murdered only recently. And Betty, being a part of the scene,
might actually be able to find something out. Her investigations lead
Betty to Duchamps, an attractive but eccentric drug dealer who is rumoured
to be a direct descendant of the author of the book in question or even
the author himself, and he's currently tried in court for being a vampire.
At first, Betty thinks Duchamps arrogant, but gradually she falls her him,
and he for her as well. He even offers to turn her into a vampire, and
she's not totally opposed to it. Thing is, things are not as simple as
that as there's also Duchamps mysterious sister Sophie, his over-the-top
bodyguard Triswald and over-eager documentarian Clara trying to make head
or tails of the story - and to make things dangerous, not everyone is what
they appear to be ...
Maybe the first movie entirely made using A.I., DreadClub:
Vampire's Verdict surprisingly has a very organic feel to it, which
might have to do with the animation style that most closely resembles 2D
anime that allows for occasional charming imperfections, as well as a very
dynamic edit that goes very well with the emotions shown on screen. As for
story, the film offers a wild ride through the genres, from vampire
romance to conspiracy thriller to serialkiller fare, spinning a yarn
that's at times intentionally confusing, at times absurd to surreal even,
but that makes perfect sense in itself and the world it has built for
itself - and that's above all great fun, only helping to make DreadClub:
Vampire's Verdict well worth a watch.
