- A woman plagued by violent visions walks the world alone as if in a dream. A multi-media meditation on the vampire.
- An experimental exercise in style, mood and sound, Chris Alexander's SPACE VAMPIRE follows the sudden arrival on earth of a black-clad woman (Ali Chappell, NECROPOLIS: LEGION), who is drawn to a looming house on a hilltop. As fluid hallucinations intersect with reality, the wandering woman begins having violent visions where she imagines she is murdering the home's inhabitant, a sleeping blonde female who looks eerily like herself. Has she in fact murdered the woman already? Are these bloody images transmissions from another dimension? Are they pulses of a crime that is to come? Is she really in this world or is she trapped between realities? The night streets call to her, drawing her deeper into downspiral that can only end where it must end.
SPACE VAMPIRE is a work of obsession. Of memory and vision. Of intimacy. It's an anti-horror film. A revolving door of fluid images and sounds meant to express an idea of vampirism, a meditation on death. A loop of loneliness and isolation. A fetish film. It's a waking dream, completely liberated from the confines of genre, constructed using 16mm film, a toy camera, iPhones and video and it's meant to trap you. To trip you. And it's meant to be played loud.
The film takes the elements explored in Alexander's previous experimental horror films - BLOOD FOR IRINA, QUEEN OF BLOOD and FEMALE WEREWOLF - and further obscures them, creating a landscape of hypnotic imagery devoid of narrative coherence or traditional structure. The film uses motifs explored in the genre and deliberately blurs them. The result is a film that is truly intended to be experienced as a slow, immersive dream.
