Warning: Spoilers
The film opens in California 1866 as a young Lesley Parker toting an anachronistic Teddy Bear, sees her parents die. Then we jump to Paris 1885 where she (Erica Leerhsen) is a student of Dr. Charcot (Michael Crabtree) along with a guy named Freud (Matt Moore). Together they treat a patient Val Drakul (Chase Ryan Jeffery) who thinks he has the family curse and is a vampire. Lesley becomes attached to Val and they go off to California where she treats patients in group sessions with phobias. One such patient is Annabel Lee (Carolyn Wickwire) who sleeps in a glass lid coffin. Val suffers from black outs, during which time someone gets their throat ripped out, but it is not that simple Scooby-Doo.

The costumes were decent. The plot, as you can tell, left something to be desired. The acting was no where as the dialog was flat. The action and twists are loaded heavy at the end while the rest of film is a yawner.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.
