In the recent years the tales of vampires have become common with many of them just showing the blood suckers as unredeemable beasts. It’s until years ago that we moved from the classics to more creative variations of the vampire productions. And as we all know, one of the best things when doing something new is to start from the basics. The Kindred Vampire Tales series produced in form of short stories takes us back to the basics of the classical vampires. The idea behind the current setting of this series is to have vampires that behave like a vampire should. Like taking over a city and creating wars between the good and the evil. Come with me as I unveil the exciting setting, plot and product description of this film and let’s go back to the basics together.
About Kindred Vampire Tales
As mentioned above, the Kindred Vampire is series of short film episodes featuring a variety of highly skilled and well-known actors. The story is based on a vampire council members and their clan who recruit members in the city of LA. As all Vampires would do the Kindred’s takes over the city club and feeds on their victims at night. The director though had a little sense of romanticizing the series by letting the classics run a fight club and mafioso operation intending to hunt bad people in the city. As the vampire clan increases in number, more victims are bitten and turned.
At the same time, since the city is in chaos now, a priest and a detectives teams up to investigate a missing person. In their quest, they stumble upon the fighting club and a fight between the good and the evil broke. As is their culture, the vampires itch with revenge and the clan sets to get it through thick and thin. However, they are met by a group
of slayers who are willing to get rid of the whole clan. This calls for more chaos in the city as every group tries to fight for survival and more victims are recruited as vampires.
Actors & Performers
To mention a few, Sofia is such an interesting character. She doesn’t use the old school way of hunting and fighting in order to turn her victims. However, she uses her powers to seduce them and recruit them to the vampire clan. Her role, which is very well played, has a different kind of vampire vibes. Frankie acts like the counter part of Sofia. He is a very soft spoken and has a very great personality. However being the assistant male count he has the zeal and interests to turn every creature he meets. Due to his good looks and character, all his victims are caught by surprise.
There are a lot of other exciting characters in the Vampire clan, but Katrina stands out since she just a club goer who enjoys dancing and having fun. She later partners with Vampires to turn victims into her world- the night life. Tommy who is not a vampire aspires to be one after seeing how interesting it is from his best friend. However, with time he falls in love with the night life rather than just the biting. It is a well done character crossover with characters from different worlds interacting making it an interesting watch.
Who is the Producer?
The film series is produced by Kindred vision production team. This is a full service video production team a based in New York and Los Angeles.

Season Overview
From the start the series is moody, slow at creating mystery but once it pulls you into that orbit, you won’t stop watching it. Within no time the city which was once home sweet home turns into home sweet nightmare. As much as all it involves are vampires in a chaotic town, it has more to offer than that.
Most people found in this chaos stick around and others such as the priest and the detective start to thrive here. Others like Tommy admire the chaos and create a way to join in. It’s not in vain that this explains what most of us in all fronts go through. In life we find ourselves in different situations over time that we can either live with or join in.
The series has an interesting human fabric with most of them turning soon enough to become dangerous blood suckers. Notably, with each new episode, the director is keen enough to reveal more, yet enough detail to keep you glued. After each episode you are left with more questions and curiosity. To be honest, if you are lover of detail and enjoy good mastery then you got your next show.
In the sense of entertainment, you will have yourself a joyful ride. There are enough themes you can identify from the film. Most of the human characters in the Kindred vampire tales are scared for their lives while even though not known to most viewers, the vampires seek to protect their clan.
In most cases, the night is their most dangerous time. During the day the town is such a quiet and low laid place for you to suspect anything. However, every night fall is a reminder that every community, count and countess is not secure. Remarkably each of this fronts seek to find a solution, whether that is found by admitting more people to the vampire clan or investigating a murder in deadly city it doesn’t matter.
Overall, I highly recommend the series if you still stuck with the decision of what’s your next watch. If you watch Kindred Vampire tales with an open mind you will realize that it does stray too much from our daily lives. But that will depend on how mystery with human condition works for you.
