CGiii Comment
Yes...more vampires - this time, German style...and, it is stylish.
Great beginning, scuzzy girl is transformed into a vivacious vamp - it is amazing what a little bit of make-up can do - and then, disappointingly...it goes all Sex and the City...too many nightclubs, too much shopping.
Thankfully, when all that silliness is over, it reverts back to being a damn fine film - despite its very strange ending.
Definitely stylish, definitely enjoyable and definitely (and vastly) superior to its Hollywood equivalents.

The(ir) Blurb...
The vampires Louise, Charlotte and Nora arrive in Berlin after attacking the passengers and crew of an airplane in a flight to Paris. The leader Louise has been looking for centuries for her missed love and Charlotte misses her daughter that she saw in 1923 for the last time. Meanwhile, the smalltime pickpocket Lena steals a Russian mobster and is chased by Detective Tom. When Lena goes to a nightclub, the lesbian Louise believes that Lena is the love of her life and transforms her into a vampire. Lena initially feels lost with the transformation, but sooner she joins the trio of vampires in their nightlife. When the pack of vampires attacks a group of criminals, the police department investigates the case and hunts the women without knowing the risks that they are taking. Meanwhile the lonely Tom and the Lena fall in love with each other; but the unrequited love of Louise for Lena jeopardizes the couple.
