The undead discover a new home in the far reaches of space in this blend of
science fiction,
action, and
horror. In the year 3000 A.D., the crew of a commercial space freighter happens upon the wreckage of the
Demeter, a massive space ship that has been missing for nearly a century. Aware that there's a substantial bounty being offered for the return of the ship's cargo, the freighter's crew begin exploring the
Demeter to see what remains, and they discover that the ship's hold includes a large cache of black coffins. However, the real surprise lurks inside the coffins -- a gang of vampires, taking advantage of the darkness of deep space, have taken refuge in the
Demeter's payload, and they soon begin attacking those who have discovered them. Can the freighter's crew keep the menace at bay until the ship's orbit takes them into the path of the sun?
Dracula.3000 includes a stellar
exploitation cast, including
Casper Van Dien,
Erika Eleniak,
Coolio,
Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., and a special guest appearance from
Udo Kier.
