Directed by Dominic Brunt (who was behind fun little zombie flick Before Dawn) and released in 2022, this flick also goes by Scream of the Wolf and is a werewolf movie that wears an affection for American Werewolf in London on its sleeve.
I’m looking at it here because of the opening of the film. The movie follows a film crew who are shooting a vampire movie on location in a manor house. They have gone over schedule and the producer has ignored the strict instruction by the house trustees to have left by the day before… of course there is a full moon that night.
So, it is for the vampire movie they are making in film that this flick gets a mention. Beginning with an old-fashioned X-certificate censor certificate, the film does show us the staking of a vampire in her coffin before the call of “cut”. She blinked, someone complains, but they decide they’ll take that out in post-production. The only other vampire aspect we get is meeting Oliver (James Fleet).
Oliver plays the main vampire and it is a role he is reprising. In reality he is a luvvie and a drunk who can’t stand the vampire teeth he has to wear. The film proper starts with a couple of journalists arriving at a nearby pub – the Blue Moon, and they do liken it to the Slaughtered Lamb in dialogue. They’re attacked as they walk to the manor but pretty soon the crew are dying and the survivors need to find a way to stay alive.
