The artificial glitz of Manhattan offices, the dim lighting of nightclubs, and those eerie laughs echoing in the recesses of the mind. This dark comedy by Robert Bierman follows a publishing executive as he loses touch with reality and gets lost in the labyrinth of his own mind. A single bite on his neck instantly transforms the tedium of corporate life into an absurd nightmare. A man who makes his secretary’s life miserable by day and believes he turns into a vampire in his room at night. In this bizarre world where reality and hallucination blur, as his sanity slowly erodes, all that remains is a sharp smile and mounting paranoia.
