As some of you may or may not have guessed, I’m going to suggest today as a good day to get introduced to Full Moon Entertainment’s film Subspecies.  Really, I’d recommend getting comfy and powering through all 4 films, but I can appreciate that not everyone will agree with me.

Subspecies deals with a power struggle for the Bloodstone (which contains the blood of saints) between two vampire brothers, the monstrous Radu and the humane Stephan. Three American college students get caught in the middle, and there you have it. Subspecies was a direct to video hit from Charles Band’s Full Moon Production. Subspecies while having an interesting plot is also the first american film shot in Romania following the fall of communism. Plus the makeup is good and the story of Stefan and Radu is quite compelling b/c Anders Hove is absolutely loathsome as Radu, the twisted misshapen half brother of Michael Watson’s Stefan. Bonus it’s shot in Romania, the birthplace of the modern vampire.  There are three sequels to this film, and I’ve enjoyed every one of them, so check out this series.
