Vampire's Kiss

Watching it feels like being trapped in a fever dream where the absurd collides with the grotesque, revealing the dark underbelly of corporate ambition and personal identity.

The woman continues to visit and as his madness deepens, it begins to look as if some of the events he's experiencing may be hallucinations.
