Suddenly, a message from a masked captor appears: they have 48 hours to figure out why they've been taken if they want to survive. To do so, they’ll be allowed two minutes of connexion at random intervals. But if they try to contact loved ones or alert the authorities, their mission ends, and they'll be executed.

Vampires poster
5.3

Vincent Lannoo’s ‘mockumentary’ shows us a community of vampires in Belgium. The two ‘parents’ of the family are George and Bertha, who have two teenage children – or rather, they raise two former humans who they turned into vampires. Son Samson is a bit of a jack the lad: enjoying the sexual freedom of vampire life, with all the vigour of an irresponsible young adult regardless of consequences (even incest is not frowned upon in their world, where the word ‘wife’ is often synonymous with ‘mother’ or ‘sister’). Daughter Grace yearns for humanity in a different way: applying fake tan to get rid of her vampiric pallor, dressing in pink clothes, wishing she could feel emotion and even having a human boyfriend.
