But Carl is a vampire and pretty soon he makes Erika his vampire bride. From now on Dr.Maeterlick plunges into a nightmarish whirl of dark happenings...
Directed by José María Elorrieta, Call of the Vampire leans on a strong ensemble — Diana Sorel, Nicholas Ney, Inés Morales — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
