After many years in exile, the evil vampire Radu (Hove Anders) returns to the fortress of his father, the good King Vladislav (Angus Scrimm), in Prejnar, and kills his father to steal the powerful Blood Stone. Meanwhile, the Americans Michelle (Laura Mae Tate) and Lillian (Michelle McBride) travel to Transylvania to meet their Romanian friend Mara (Irina Movila) to research the locals and prepare a study for their PHD about the Romanian culture. They are lodged in an ancient house in Prejnar by the rough local Karl (Ivan J. Rado) that explains that the residents believe there are good and evil vampires, but they live in peace with the vampires led by King Vladislav for centuries. Soon, Michelle meets the zoology student Stefan (Michael Watson) and they have a crush on each other. But Radu breaks the truce between the vampires and the humans, and he attacks the three women. Stephen rescues the girls and discloses to Michelle that he is Radu's half-brother. Now, Stephen and Karl want to stop the vampire, but he is powerful and smart, and sneaks in the darkness.
"Subspecies" is a great vampire movie from the early 90's. The franchise about Radu and good and evil vampires has had several sequels. Hove Anders' performance associated to a scary make-up is top-notch, and the gorgeous Laura Mae Tate did not follow the franchise, and the role of Michelle was replaced by Denice Duff. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Subspecies: A Geração Vamp" ("Subspecies: The Vamp Generation")
