Blutsauger

The flat in the old Viennese building, centrally located and with her grandmother’s old tenancy agreement, is a dream come true! If only it weren’t for that eerie neighbour in a floor-length cloak and stand-up collar, who makes Hannah feel as though she’s being stalked. Does the bloke just think he’s a vampire, or could he actually be one? Hannah decides to find out. Meanwhile, the building is plagued by power cuts, water damage and signs of neglect, such as graffiti on the walls and dead rats in the hallway. The building’s tenants are being pressured by the new property management company, using underhand tactics, to give up their flats. Soon only Hannah and the eerie neighbour remain, but the management’s henchmen will stop at nothing. Thus, in the grand finale, historical and modern bloodsuckers finally face off against one another. In this fast-paced homage to Nosferatu and co., André Breinbauer manages, with plenty of wit and clever visual references, to dust off a classic horror genre. A Viennese melange that is a real treat!
