Nest Of Vampires

In this independent English film an MI5 agent travels from London to small-town England in search of the people who murdered his wife and kidnapped his only daughter.

While this may seem like an English, budget spin on Liam Nelson's cult favourite Taken series it quickly adds in new twist. During his investigation Kit Valentine (Tom Fairfoot) uncovers a ruthless vampiric cult that is heavily embroiled in human trafficking. We also later learn Kit himself has a mysterious past.

Overall this film fails to manifest the intrigue and mystery that its premise suggests. The plot struggles to find a balance between being mysterious and blatant. Whilst watching I couldn't help but feel it would have worked play up the human trafficking element early and then leave the vampire reveal for a final shocking act.

The budget constraints also do show through, which can be forgiven but also makes you wish this had more financial backing to truely live up to the promise.
