Set in the bleakness of a NYC winter, The Way of the Vampire is a
modern day drama/horror film about two brothers with a deep dark family
secret.
The elder brother Prithivi constantly strives to quench his lust for
blood and sadism by performing ritualistic murders of young women and
dressing them like his favorite painting. The younger brother Vayu is
obsessed with Alexandre Dumas’s book The Count of Monte Cristo, which
allows him to escape from the lurid lifestyle and unpredictably violent
outbursts that his brother Prithivi routinely inflicts upon him.
Prithivi desperately wishes for Vayu to fully accept his vampiric
nature, the blood thirst Vayu consistently denies. When Vayu defies his
older brother, Prithivi reacts with his fists and cruel words.
One day Vayu meets a beautiful girl named Crystal at a bookstore who
happens to share an interest in Dumas. This piques Vayu’s curiosity
whereby he flirts with the naïve girl and beguiles her into a date. The
tension tightens as Prithivi becomes increasingly jealous of this
newfound relationship and in defense of his emotions tries repeatedly
to convince his morose and decidedly un-vampiric like brother to
dispatch the girl like a real hunter-killer should. Vayu continues to
refuse his brother’s will, despite being the recipient of Prithivi’s
malicious passion.
Prithivi’s last nerve is hanging by a thread as Vayu unknowingly snaps
it. Vayu awakens to misfortune and bondage, with Crystal unconscious
and defenseless, he pleas for Prithivi to let them go. Prithivi toys
with what he sees as an entertaining opportunity, humoring Vayu’s
bleats of mercy. Eventually he grows tired of mocking his brother and
orders Vayu to do what should come naturally, which is to kill her.
What happens next is a twisted turn of events from which Vayu cannot
escape. |
