Dr Zena Morton runs a housing scheme clinic treating AIDS patients, and her patients are dying. But not from AIDS. They are turning up beaten and battered and drained of blood. The police who are secretly running an anti-junkie vigilante gang, refuse to investigate. The trail leads to Sir Rurari McDorachas, who claims he is a Vampire. Dr Morton must overcome her belief in the rational as she prepares to confront Sir Rurari on his own bloody terms, leading to a gore drenched climax.

Brigadoon this certainly isn't. There is an evil spirit draining blood from junkies on a run down Scottish housing estate, a series of events that leads a local doctor to the sleazy world of Blood Junkies: the influences here aren't Bill Forsyth and Sandy McKendrick - more Roger Cormen, Fred Olen Ray and Hammer! - The List Magazine
