One of the many post-X Files genre shows to appear in the UK in the late 90s, but much better than most of them, largely because it resists the temptation to go overboard with the flashy fantasy elements: vampires rarely appear in the early episodes and this more closely resembles a police procedural show. But definitely a horror series, and an effective one for the most part, written and played with great skill. Starts off as an episodic show before the serial elements gradually take over - the standalone episodes are best - and comes up with some clever new spins on vampire lore. One wishes they could have made more than just the six episodes (plus a US pilot with a mostly different cast and rather different approach), but as it this this definitely counts as small but perfectly formed.

The plot: When the Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) and Rex Van Ryn (Leon Greene) arrive at a fashionable party thrown by de Richleau's protégé, Simon Aron (Patrick Mower), they soon realize that the party is in fact a gathering of a Satanic cult, led by the high priest Mocata (Charles Gray), that plans to initiate the beautiful Tanith (Nike Arrighi) that night. It's up to de Richleau and Van Ryn to defeat the devil-worshiping Mocata and save innocent young Tanith and the others from a terrible fate.
Its a really good movie and i highly recordmend this film to others. Like i said its not your average hammer film. It takes its topic/subject very serious. And its one of Terence Fisher's best films he has directed.

For the summer, the girls go their separate ways, Lenaand Carmen visit relatives, Bridget goes to camp and Tibby stays at home to work. Lena being the first person to have the jeans, then Tibby, Carmen and finally Bridget. But is this movie really just about a pair of jeans? No, infact the whole movie could have been done without the jeans as they literally have no impact on the storyline whatsoever, they're just mentioned on occasion.
It is a good movie, although out of the teens stories, I was only interested in 2 of the stories, Tibby and Carmen. This is probably because their story had more drama, whereas Lena and Bridget were just about getting a guy.
