Sex and Vampires.  They go together like chocolate and peanut butter.  Actually that point is one of the first things that gets mentioned when you stick the DVD of NIGHT JUNKIES into your player.

And NIGHT JUNKIES explores this connection to the extreme.  Lots and lots of sex and boobs and very nice asses in this one.  The basic premise is vampires that feed on those that wander the streets of London late at night and deals mainly with Ruby, yes the stripper with a heart of gold.  Repulsed by her lot in life and angry at the world for it she finds herself the victim of a "not so bad" vampire and is quickly submerged into the dark underworld of the vampire.

The film has a highly stylized visual flare that for the most part sets this one a part from a lot of the other "indie" fare that gets kicked around.  I did find some of the film dark and the director seems to love back lighting his actors and this lends itself to a film that is often dark, not in content but in the ability to see what the hell is happening on the screen.  Spent more then a few scenes squinting at the screen trying to figure out just what the hell was going on.

They didn't seem to have a problem lighting the sex scenes though.  Nothing wrong with that.

NIGHT JUNKIES offers up nothing new to the vampire lore.  Truth be told it actually kind of plays out like soft core porn for the most part (not that there is anything wrong with that) and although the material is pretty age worn it is presented in a nice shiny package that is moderately well acted, well directed and full of tits and ass.

All in all, I've spent worst Saturday nights.

So, keep in mind what this film is and you should come away from it pretty satisfied....one way or another.
