  Evil as old as the centuries has descended upon the City of Angels---it comes
  as a kiss from the terrifying but seductive immortals. Slowly at first, then
  by the legions, the ravenous undead choke Los Angeles with bloodthirsty
  determination---and the hordes of monstrous victims steadily mount each night.
  
  
  High above glitter city a deadly contest begins. In the decaying castle of a
  long-dead screen idol, the few remaining human survivors prepare to face the
  Prince of Evil and his satanic disciples. Whilst the very forces of nature are
  called into play, isolating the city from the rest of the world and leaving it
  at the mercy of the blood-hungry vultures of the night....
  
  
  THEY THIRST  
  Theirs is a lust that can never be satisfied...
