Yet another vampire flick, but at least the twist here is a novel one: Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet as a 250-year-old bloodsucker who fakes his own death to escape justice and continues living on in seclusion. But now he is truly fed up with eternal life and wants to die, which brings his children to come to squabble over his inheritance, getting an odd accountant to tot up the value of his hidden holdings.
There is an abundance of gallows humour satire and lustrously sombre cinematography, but the silliness doesn't know to stop after the initial premise and eventually it all goes completely overboard.
6/10
