Love Bites

In a whimsically haunted suburb, an aging crypt lies concealed behind a fireplace, bridging centuries of darkness with the bright, humming world of refrigerators, electric lights and talking cars. The house that shelters this secret is a modest, present‑day home that feels both ordinary and oddly charged, hinting that the past has never truly been buried.

Zachary Simms awakens after a century‑long slumber, bewildered by the modern comforts that greet him and fascinated by the pulse of contemporary life. A vampire with a long, tangled history, he carries the weight of old‑world myth while cracking jokes about the marvels of pizza and spaghetti. His curiosity about humanity is matched only by a lingering yearning for connection that the new era seems to tease.

Kendall Gordon is a pragmatic, independent woman who has long resisted the conventional expectations of marriage, yearning for something—or someone—truly extraordinary. Her life is suddenly intersected by Zachary’s dark charm, sparking a friendship that quickly tips toward something deeper. Meanwhile, Dwight Putnam, a well‑meaning but overly persistent suitor, circles the couple, providing a comic counterpoint that highlights the unlikely love triangle forming under the same roof.

Against this backdrop of quirky modernity and lingering gothic allure, the story follows Zachary as he seeks a path back to humanity, hoping that love might be the catalyst for his transformation. With Kendall’s tentative aid and the everyday absurdities of the present world pressing in, the film balances romance, humor, and the timeless question of whether a creature of the night can ever truly belong to the daylight.
