Eureka Entertainment are bringing the 1990 Hong Kong horror-comedy ‘Doctor Vampire’ (殭屍醫生) to UK Blu-ray on February 24, 2025.
Written and directed by Jamie Luk, the film revolves around a surgeon who accidentally enters a vampire den during a trip to England and is seduced by a vampire. The cast includes Bowie Lam, Ellen Chan, Sheila Chan, Crystal Kwok, and David Wu.
Synopsis: While on vacation in Britain, surgeon Dr Chiang Ta-Tsung (Bowie Lam) wanders into a quaint rural pub in the grounds of a castle, where he quickly falls for hostess Alice (Ellen Chan). Despite several warning signs, the good doctor fails to realise that the establishment is staffed entirely by vampires – even after Alice bites him during a late-night tryst. Upon his return to Hong Kong and his long-standing love interest May Chan (Sheila Chan), he attempts to return to his normal life. But soon he develops an aversion to sunlight and begins to crave blood, and things get even more complicated when Alice and her undead master – The Count (Peter Kjaer) – come looking for him…
