VAMPIRES ANONYMOUS

Cinemavixion Review

Michael Keller's "Vampires Anonymous" (2003) offers a darkly comedic take on supernatural struggles, presenting a unique premise where a vampire, Vic, seeks help through a support group for his insatiable urges. The film, starring Paul Popowich as Vic, alongside Michael Madsen and Judith Scott, delves into the challenges of maintaining a semblance of normalcy while battling primal instincts. Vic's relocation to the quiet town of Rock Creek, NC, and his attempts to abstain from biting his new girlfriend, only lead to more sheep being sacrificed, raising suspicion among the locals and drawing the attention of a Vampire Slayer. The narrative cleverly blends elements of vampire lore with the relatable struggles of addiction and self-control, framed within a support group setting. Despite a modest IMDb rating of 5.0, the film's inventive plot and exploration of a vampire's journey toward abstinence make it a noteworthy, albeit niche, entry in the genre.
