Whether it’s Buffy on network TV, True Blood on HBO or a slew of more offerings on the web (I Heart Vampires and Vampire Killers just off the top of my head), filmmakers continue to feel if you carve out your own blood-sucking niche, fans will come (and, maybe, the money will follow). But with no shortage of mythological, quasi-evil, sanguine-centric plot lines, the question for viewers becomes: how intriguing is your spin on the Dracula story?

Bleeder (Pilot) – SD version – Created by Wade Ballance & Mark Kochanowicz from Mark Kochanowicz on Vimeo.

Co-written, produced and directed by Wade Balance and co-written, produced and starring Mark Kochanowicz, Bleeder brings a new twist to the genre. Alex is a hemophiliac – that is, a guy who frequently hemorrhages – who is lucky enough to encounter Charlotte (Brea Bee), a reluctant vampire who take pity on him as he weakens from blood loss in his alley alcove.

Bleeder is comprised of a solid local cast and well shot by DP Jim McKinney, who gives each scene convincing verisimilitude with lighting quality found in more expensive, and often darker, independent films. This is the web, though, and the creators keep things moving through the nine-and-a-half-minute pilot.
