Can a commercial film be made for only $1? That’s the selling point of Lukantum Productions and Lasoga Films’ THE VAMPIRE IN THE HOLE. It’s obviously just a publicity point; the movie had to have some kind of budget. Everyone may have volunteered their services in exchange for a percentage of profits, but how about the food they ate on set?
Any way, check out the teaser trailer and poster for flick below to see for yourself. It has some solid production values that are impressive for any independent film, especially one with no budget. Here is the synopsis:
Vampirism is a newly discovered viral illness whose initial stages spread as quickly as the flu. May has just turned seventeen and has become infected. She is the only vampire in her family and her neighborhood and, as such, her life changes dramatically. In her daily surroundings she is now seen as a monster: kids throw stones at her and she is bullied at work. However, May tries to adapt by following the rules and norms set by the government on infected citizens who wish to fit back into society.
Opinion is divided about what should be done with the “infected”. Should one accept them, or reject them? And this division foreshadows a future war where racism and intolerance will inevitably hasten the definitive rift between humans and vampires.
The film is written and directed by Spanish filmmakers Sonia Escolano and Sadrac Gonzalez. It stars Alba Castillo, Raul Quiros, Maria del Barrio, Gillian Apter, Imanol Reta, Alvaro Pascual, Merce Estrada, Paloma Alma and Sung Woo Kim.
