Live Evil is a horror-comedy film directed by Ari Kirschenbaum that blends supernatural elements with a quirky, campy style. The story revolves around a group of modern-day vampires who are struggling with a unique problem: the human blood they depend on for survival has become contaminated and “impure.” This tainted blood causes them to fall ill, putting their eternal lives in jeopardy.
The vampires, led by a character known as The Priest (played by Tony Todd), must find a solution to their predicament, all while being pursued by a relentless sheriff who is determined to eradicate them. As they search for pure blood, they encounter a variety of quirky characters and find themselves in increasingly absurd and dangerous situations. The film mixes action, horror, and dark humor as it plays with classic vampire tropes in a modern, offbeat setting.
Live Evil features a mix of campy horror effects, vampire lore, and comedic moments, making it a unique entry in the vampire genre. It’s a low-budget indie film with a strong B-movie aesthetic, which may appeal to viewers who enjoy horror with a comedic and over-the-top flair. The presence of Tony Todd, a horror icon known for his roles in films like Candyman and Final Destination, adds a layer of genre credibility to the film.
