For US Customers this is available in Region A on thisShout Factory Set!While Hong Kong horror cinema is more often associated with thejiangshior hopping vampires of Chinese legend, it has also embraced (and, more often than not, lampooned) the Western vampire tradition. One of the more outrageous films to bring European bloodsuckers to Hong Kong is Jamie LuksDoctor Vampire a perfect blend of horror and comedy with shades ofVamp,Fright Nightand, of course, Hong Kongs ownMr Vampireseries.While on vacation in Britain, surgeon Dr Chiang Ta-Tsung (Bowie Lam,Hard Boiled) wanders into a quaint rural pub in the grounds of a castle, where he quickly falls for hostess Alice (Ellen Chan,Wizards Curse). Despite several warning signs, the good doctor fails to realise that the establishment is staffed entirely by vampires even after Alice bites him during a late-night tryst. Upon his return to Hong Kong and his long-standing love interest May Chan (Sheila Chan,Heroes Among Heroes), he attempts to return to his normal life. But soon he develops an aversion to sunlight and begins to crave blood, and things get even more complicated when Alice and her undead master The Count (Peter Kjaer) come looking for himOffering a variation on thejiangshicraze kick-started byEncounter of the Spooky KindandMr Vampire,Doctor Vampireis one of a handful of films along withLegend of the 7 Golden VampiresandVampire vs Vampire to bring Hollywoods creatures of the night to Hong Kong.
