Kate Davis is a successful, independent woman who lives in luxury with her maid, Lori, and her architect boyfriend, Derek. But one day, Kate’s life is turned upside down when she receives a cartoon of milk which, when opened, contains fresh blood. Without warning, our heroine is kidnapped and taken to the remote compound of the Hyma Brotherhood, a cult of modern “vampires” who live off the red life force of human “cattle” all in the rational goal of achieving youth and immortality. Their “blood cows” (read: local residents) are fed a controlled diet and “milked” in a highly sophisticated facility that manufactures the heady heart brew for consumption by fellow members around the world. Seems Kate is the predestined mother of the group’s next generation of offspring (having directly descended from one of their founders), but she wants nothing to do with their orgy of ritualistic murder. So the board of directors for this heretical conclave devise mind-altering conditioning treatments, exercises in psychological and physical terror, hoping to breakdown Kate’s defenses, quell her misgivings, and awaken her long dormant Thirst. But when these sessions in sadism yield very little response, a new tactic is taken, one that will hopefully win the scared, potential succubus over to her rightful place in the ancestral procession of the sect. —.dvdverdict.com
