Ingénue fatale

Meet Elizabeth, an art history professor who can't seem to make a relationship work. When she finally meets the guy of her dreams, the mysterious new professor at their university, she struggles to have a successful relationship while keeping her secret.... that she's a vampire. Guided by advice from her best friend, Tate, she must ultimately decide whether it's worth the risk of outing her hidden blood-lust to her new beau in order to make their relationship work.

Directed by Brian McCarthy, Ingénue fatale leans on a strong ensemble — Karen Pavlick, Dennis Kinard, Carla Betz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2008.
