A young woman named Katherine Thatcher (Mia Sara of LEGEND) goes to Bucharest, Romania, in search of her father as he's the only family she has left. Her mother died a few months before and she's been having weird nightmares about a robed figure. Once in Bucharest she goes to the American Embassy for help in tracking her father down and there she meets Devlin (Jack Coleman, HRG in HEROES), who thinks she's a pain in the ass.
Katherine starts her own search and finds an old glass blower (Anthony Perkins) who says he knew her father and that he's dead. The truth is that he's really her father--and also the leader of the vampires in Romania. Another vampire is interested in her because she's the first known human/vampire offspring and he wants to perpetuate his dwindling race. She's captured and kept where they keep the humans they feed upon. Her father frees her but gets in trouble--and they stake him out on the ground so that the sunlight will burn him up.
Kathy eventually gets the help of Devlin, who is also a tenuous love interest, and she manages to save her father only to lose him in a fire when he battles the bad vampire.
Although the story is just so-so, it has good special effects. The vampires don't have fangs, rather their tongues split open to reveal a ring of sharp teeth, like a lamprey eel.
It's also directed by Stuart Gordon (REANIMATOR, DAGON).
