The International
influence of 2008's Twilight cannot be understated, especially
in the Asian marketplace. It seems that each of the countries have produced
their own variation of the interspecies love triangle. South Korea began
almost immediately with a string of TV programs, many still popular today
[e.g., Vampire Idol, Blood, The Vampire Detective, Vampire Flower,
Orange Marmalade, Sweet Blood, et al]. In 2011, Indonesia/Malaysia
released SENJAKALA
[Twilight], while HK/China came with THE
VAMPIRE WHO LOVED ME (2009) and CHANTHALY
was a Laos/Vietnamese production in 2012 [to name a few of many].
Japanese
filmmaker Mai Suzuki contributed to this popular genre in 2015 with comedy/thriller
VAMPIRE IN LOVE. This one features former
pop singer/model Mirei Kiritani in the lead role. Miss Suzuki broke into
television as a new anchor on NTV and has since starred in numerous movies
and television shows. Here she plays Kira, a vampire who seems like an
ordinary girl, with many friends and an enthusiasm for fashion and baking.
But the 'vampire' thing is always kept secret from everyone, including
her school crush, Tetsu. Years later, their relationship is rekindled.
They are immediately drawn to each other. Tetsu is now in a popular rock
band and Kira is faced with the dread of telling the truth about her bloodsucking
ways. But there's something much more sinister lurking in the shadows.
A Japanese
film in with English subtitles; widescreen format, uncut 102 minutes,
DVD encoded for ALL REGION NTSC WORLD FORMAT. Extras include theatrical
