This is the 15th film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
The film is set in a fictional Irish village called Six Mile Hill. Bram Stoker
once visited the village, and it's claimed he found the inspiration for his
Dracula novel in a local legend about a monster called Abhartach who's buried
in a nearby field. Abhartach drank human blood until he was buried and his
resting place was covered with stones.
Two young men walk home through the field after visiting the town's pub, The
Stoker. A wild boar attacks one of them, knocking him onto the burial stones.
His blood drips onto the stones, waking Abhartach from his sleep. Over the
following weeks people in the village begin to bleed spontaneously, and their
blood flows from their bodies to Abhartach's grave, making him stronger day by
day, until he can finally rise from the grave.
This is the second Irish vampire film in the festival this year. It has comic
elements, but it's not as funny as
"Let the wrong one in".
