Sucker: The Vampire (1998)
Working as henchman to the lead singer of the vampire rock group "Plasma", Reed Buccholz's [Mex Erkiletian] job has definite high points, like finding sexy girls to bring home for Anthony [Yan Birch] and being able to photograph and have sex with their blood-drained bodies prior to disposing of them in the morgue of the hospital where Reed holds a daytime job as a nurse. Vampire hunter Vanessa Helsing [Monica Baber] has dedicated her life to destroying vampires, in particular Anthony, the vampire who killed her famous father. So far, she has managed to destroy Seth and Tobin, the band's lead guitarist and drummer, but she hasn't gotten to Anthony yet.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I am surprised to see this film receive such a low rating here on IMDb. For what it is (a low budget horror-comedy), it's great! The plot is solid and most of the characters are fantastic. The highlight of the film is Reed Buccholz, the wacky lovable vampire sidekick. The movie will keep you entertained to say the least. The production values are not bad at all and many of the shots are actually quite nice. I was hoping for a Sucker II, but I haven't heard anything about a sequel in a long time.Fans of b-movies, you will surely enjoy this. If you are looking for a truly scary film or something more mainstream, this is not for you.
Invite Sucker to enter your home and you are in for 91 minutes of freaky fun.Bent in the best possible way, this movie is stolen by Reed, who instead of stealing bodies, "donates" them to the hospital where he works.Alex Erkiletian is Reed and he is a riot! Great comedic timing. But he has his sensitive side too.All in all, very entertaining. I'll watch it again a few more times.
Yan Birch (who resembles Malcolm McDowell) is Anthony, a modern-day vampire who uses his rock band's popularity as a front to lure unsuspecting big-breasted women into his clutches. Reed (Alex Erkiletian) is his annoying necrophile henchman/assistant who dresses up the corpses in bondage gear and lingerie before screwing them and dumping the bodies off at his work ("Western Tumor Medical Group"). The very sexy, fit, blue-eyed Vanessa Van Helsing (Monica Barber) is on to the deadly duo. She tricks Anthony into biting her and intentionally transmits AIDS to him, which means Anthony "can't digest" blood and will die a slow and agonizing death.This morality/cautionary horror tale has no idea how to handle its themes in an effective or thought-provoking way and the comic sound effects and stupid gags undermine any serious messages the filmmakers are trying to get across.In case you're interested...Also featured are the PUMPKINHEAD prop monster, a pool sex scene, blood puking, a redheaded sorceress (the devil?) who torments Anthony and can revive dead bodies and lots of rock music by groups with names like Groovie Ghoulies and The Mr. T Experience.Score: 2 out of 10
This movie is so awesome, Reed is a awesome character! He's works as a henchman for Anthony who's a vampire, his daily routines are working at the hospital and dealing with his ass-hole boss and disposing of the dead bodies in which Anthony sucks the blood out of, and when Anthony finds out he has AIDS Reed jumps to the rescue, the movie is packed with comedy, sick humour and all the things that the Troma Team are famous for!. The Troma Team made a great choice by picking up this title for their ever expanding libary of classic independant Art!...I can't wait for SUCKER 2!...Also check out the Sucker DVD for the hilarious commentary track!.....Long Live Seed Productions!!10/10!
