Vampire
They're dying to keep him alive.
Directed by Shunji Iwai
Produced by Rockwell Eyes, Legacy Filmworks
A bleak, melancholic horror film that uses vampirism as a metaphor for predatory exploitation of the vulnerable, dwelling on despair and moral ambiguity rather than spectacle.
An outwardly normal schoolteacher preys on suicidal women to slake his overwhelming thirst for human blood.
