A recently-rejected boyfriend finds that getting dumped is the least of his worries after falling prey to a beautiful vampire, and now it's up to his friends to help locate the bloodsucking fiend and return their friend to the mortal realm in director Eduardo Ortiz's urban tale of break-ups and bloodlust. When his girlfriend walked away, Jonathan was sure that he had just lost the love of his life, but when his friends take him out to the club and he falls into the arms of otherworldly beauty Gloria, Jonathan soon finds that his trouble have only just begun. After awakening in an empty bed with an insatiable thirst for blood, Jonathan must convince his friends to help him find Gloria and reverse the curse before the deadly rays of the daytime sun turn him to dust. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The American title of this Spanish melodrama suggests that the film has something to do with Satanism. The original Spanish title confirms this: Los Ritos Sexuales De Diablo. You can expect several buxom, barely clothed (if at all) damsels being sacrified on the altar of the Dark Prince. And sometimes, their fates are worse than death, if you get the picture. First distributed in English-speaking countries as Naked Dreams, this 1981 production didn't receive a general US release for nearly ten years. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The direct-to-video frightfest La Llorona (The Wailer) begins innocently, with six collegiate friends en route to a vacation in Mexico. Exhausted from the long trip and in need of a place to rest for the night, the travelers opt to stay in a small town -- a town where, unbeknownst to them, a horrible, blood-soaked tragedy unfolded years prior. When the students stay overnight at a cabin in the town, a series of strange, inexplicable supernatural events unfold -- an unseen woman is heard weeping and wailing throughout the building, and more than one of the students sense some indescribable horror lurking just outside of the cabin door -- a horror that keeps them confined inside, terrified of leaving. The area, it seems, is possessed by a vengeful spirit known as "The Wailer." La Llorona stars Vanessa Rice, John Patrick Jordan, Brenda Mejia, Hugo Medina and Nicole Danielle. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
