![Vampires [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91gaqqSDMIL.jpg)
Product Description Responding to an advert looking for people to take part in a 30-day medical trial, 5 young couples arrive at an old castle in an unknown location. They are told that they cannot have any contact with the outside world or they ll forfeit their £20,000 prize money. Confident that they can win, the couples agree to the terms. However, shortly after their arrival, unexplainable events begin to occur within the castle. At first, the challengers dismiss it as a test of their nerves by the organisers but things soon take a sinister turn and the group is forced to fight for their survival... Review 'A dark tale set in the British countryside..... has a tense claustrophobic feel throughout & the tension keeps building to the dramatic, shocking ending...' --Darkside

Live drinks for home delivery direct to your front door.
Is it five couples come to a castle (Featherstone Castle in Northumberland) to take part in a well-paid medical experiment, or is it another van load of live drinks for vampires as home delivery directly to their door?This film is a mixed bag of good and bad, but I think that the one star reviews are a bit cruel and that it deserves fairer treatment. OK, the DVD cover is nothing like anything in the film: no deathly cloaked figure, no bats, and a lower profile and more workmanlike castle/institution than the sprawling mansion in the background. Also, the film is obviously a low budget affair with no familiar actors and colour so pallid as to be mistaken for black and white photography, especially earlier on. This is the single star stuff.On the other hand, the actors make a decent job out of a reasonably good plot, and that almost black and white look may be nostalgia for all those old black and while vampire/horror films we revere from many decades past. There is no wavy found-footage dodgy camerawork (thank goodness)and no other filters to spoil the atmosphere so that night scenes are shot in pitch dark and not misrepresented with "day for night" photography which is the ruination of many a good film when you have realised that those night scenes look a little paler because of being shot in broad daylight through filters. The music score works well too, so that the overall package is of an elimination haunted castle film with spooky happenings, a deadly dog and several vampires which grows into a frantic and quite scary horror bloodfest with rather tasty special effects. We do not get many British made vampire films set in England and this one comes out looking better than many bigger budget films have. Because one gets to care a little about the overmatched individual members of this dwindling group, claustrophobically fighting against great darkness and losing, one by one, it becomes a memorable film and well worthy of four stars. Enjoy!

A very low budget British horror.
A group of people volunteer to take part in a medical trial, which takes place at a remote castle. The people running the trial are very odd and do not allow them any communication with the outside world. A mysterious little girl also appears to one of the volunteers. Predictable and forgettable.
