Plot


M inducts Carmila, a journalism student, into the world of Goth subculture and live action role-playing. As Carmila becomes more immersed, M begins to have increasing doubts about her safety. Eventually, M comes to believe that real vampires have infiltrated the subculture and feeding on the enthusiasts. M desperately works to stop the vampires, whom he thinks are led by a man named Dahmer, though the others worry about his sanity.


Cast

Release


Under its original name of Sangre Eterna, it premiered in Chile on October 31, 2002.[1] Variety wrote that it became a cult film and one of the highest grossing Latin American horror films.[3] Screen Daily described it as "the biggest box office hit in the history of Chilean cinema."[4] After the Chilean premiere, it played in Latin American and European film festivals, and a DVD was released in Chile in March 2003.[5] Fangoria Films released it in the United States as Eternal Blood.[6]


Reception


The film opened to critical acclaim in Chile.[4] Mike Long of DVD Talk rated it 2.5/5 stars wrote that "the first 40 minutes ... are riveting", but "the movie goes from clever and interesting to slow and boring."[7] Beyond Hollywood wrote that the film is creative but lacks originality.[8]
