It’s an Asian tale of a Catholic priest named “Sang-Hyun” who is working on a vaccine for a deadly virus. The virus takes a life of its own and takes over the priest pushing him nearly to death but is saved by an accidental transfusion of Vampire Blood. This leads him to an unsatiable appetite for the flesh while struggling with despair and depravity. Entertaining and dark. Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5.
