Asylum Night (2004)
Michelle Escalapez as Nurse Caldwell, plays the sexiest screen vampire, EVER
I watched this low budget British film on television recently and was totally blown away by it. This film has 'cult classic' written all over it. I was surprised to find that there were no websites or discussion boards dedicated to it. The film takes its inspiration from a number of other films and genres. There are elements of Die Hard and Assault on Precinct 13, mixed in with Monty Python humour and lashings of Hammer horror.
There are good performances all round but the film belongs to Michelle Escalapez as Nurse Caldwell, who plays the sexiest screen vampire, EVER. No, I am not exaggerating when I write this. The sight of her barefoot, in a short nurse's uniform with fangs dripping with blood is simply one of the most erotically charged images ever seen on screen. It is worth watching just for Michelle Escalapez's performance. She really is a throwback to the Hammer vampire babes of the 1970's like Ingrid Pitt.
I hope the makers of Asylum Night make a sequel, "Asylum Night 2: The Return of Nurse Caldwell" !
