Eternal Blood
There's going to be a total lunar eclipse over Santiago, Chile next Monday. The astrologers predict that there will be emotional consequences and changes all around. Professor Romero [Jorge Denegri] has given an assignment that his journalism students aren't too happy about...to conduct an interview with someone...anyone...just so long as it's someone of interest. While sitting in Romero's history lecture about the influence of Christian ideas in Latin America, one of his students, a Goth wannabee chick, notices a cute Goth boy sitting in the back of the room. Hmm, he looks "interesting." Later, when she sees him in the hallway, she asks if she can interview him. He's too busy right now, he says. His name is "M", and he is the Master in a game of Sangre Eterna (like V:tM) with his two Goth amigos Elizabeth [Patricia López] and MartÃn [Claudio Espinoza]. They are walking down the street when they notice the sidewalks are empty of people. Suddenly, they are open-fired upon by a group of vampire-hunting priests and nuns. M [Juan Pablo Ogalde] takes out one of the priests while Elizabeth takes cover behind a car. A lone priest blows a hole in MartÃn's stomach. As the priest is about to put another bullet in MartÃn's brain, M speeds by and breaks the priest's neck. Just then, their bodies begin to steam, and they realize that they've been out in the sun too long and must take cover. Meanwhile, Elizabeth has beheaded a nun and is drinking her blood when she is ambushed by another gun-toting team of priests. They riddle Elizabeth with bullets as the sun peeks its way over the buildings. Severely wounded and now exposed to the sun, Elizabeth begins to burn up. "You're about to lose your life," M tells Elizabeth after looking at her dice roll. "If you die, so does your character." Elizabeth does not want to give up her character, so M comes up with a plan...get another player whose character can jump in and save them...and he knows just the person...that cute Goth chick who asked him for an interview this afternoon. She'd be perfect for the role of Carmilla. The next day at school, when M passes "Carmilla" in the hallway, he stops to talk to her. This time he agrees to be interviewed, and they go to a cafe where they can talk. It turns out that Carmilla [Blanca Lewin] really digs vampires, so M invites her to play Sangre Eterna. After teaching her how to roleplay, the "vampires" pick up where the game left off. As Elizabeth is about to die, Carmilla uses Speed to whip past all the vampire hunters and slit their necks before they can kill Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Carmilla's arrival from the Vaida's clans has released two ghouls who set upon MartÃn. Smelling the ghouls, M retreats, leaving MartÃn to fight alone. Together, Carmilla and Elizabeth defeat the ghouls and save MartÃn. Carmilla is a natural player, and the group is happy to have her. M is happy, too. He and Carmilla have hit it off quite well. To celebrate a successful gaming session, Elizabeth invites them to accompany her to a party at her friend's house. The address takes them to a wrought iron gate that fronts a big, spooky-looking, rundown house with no lights in the windows and no suggestion that any party is going on. Elizabeth eventually finds the way in. The inside of the house is even spookier than the outside. The guests are decked in their finest Goth garb, lit candles are all over, and there's a lot of drinking and toking going on. When party host Dahmer arrives, M gets the chills. He recognizes Dahmer from Blondie's (a club). After drinking a bit too much last night at Blondie's, M had gone into the men's room to relieve himself. While M stood in a stall, Dahmer and his watchdog friend Punk entered and proceeded to severely beat a third guy they thought was a snitch. Through a crack in the stall door, M saw it all, including the part where Dahmer turned into a vampire and bit the snitch's neck. M doesn't like how chummy Dahmer is getting with Elizabeth, so he follows them out back, where they appear to be necking. When Dahmer raises his face from Elizabeth's neck, M is certain he can see fangs and blood. The next morning, M awakens to a big spot of blood on the side of his head and doesn't remember how he got it. Carmilla explains that he got into some kind of row with Dahmer, and Punk had to clobber him in order to get M to stop. When Carmilla and M meet up again after class, Carmilla wonders where Elizabeth is, and M says that MartÃn said that Elizabeth spent the whole night at Dahmer's house. M confesses to Carmilla that he has a bad feeling about Dahmer, but Carmilla poohpoohs him. When MartÃn phones M later that evening to tell him that he's going over to Dahmer's house to buy some "stuff," M tries to warn MartÃn about Dahmer, but MartÃn isn't concerned either. Realizing that he's alone with his concerns about Dahmer, M begins to do a little research. He has learned in Romero's class about the Church's teaching that the soul of anyone who drinks blood will not enter heaven because "the blood is the life." He downloads some information from the Internet about "Saving Souls." The next morning is Saturday, so he goes over to the library to do a little reading on how the church purifies souls. He runs into Romero. Always interested in helping a student interested in Christian history, Romero provides M with even more books and papers on the subject. That evening, Dahmer is holding another party, a more private one for his special friends. MartÃn tries to talk M into going, but he doesn't want to, even though he's worried about Elizabeth. When Carmilla shows up, however, and says that she is going, M tags along. When Dahmer offers his guests some good "stuff," M refuses and tries to force Carmilla to leave with him, but Carmilla doesn't want to go. Dahmer orders M thrown out of the party. M returns to his apartment. He rages in anger until he finally falls asleep. He is awakened several hours later when Carmilla shows up, her wrists covered with blood. M carries her into his bedroom, lays her on the bed, and tries to clean the blood off her wrists, but all Carmilla wants to do is have sex. While they are so engaged, M looks up to see that Carmilla's face has turned into that of a vampire. Sure that all his friends have been turned into vampires, M knows that he must do something. But what? Sunday morning, he goes to see his father, but good old dad is at work, as usual. M tries to phone his father at work but gets chewed out for interrupting him. M returns to his own apartment to find Carmilla gone. He tries to call Carmilla's mother but hangs up when she lights into him. He tries to call Romero but gets an answering machine. Out of ideas, M finally goes snooping at Dahmer's house and finds him passing around a cup and telling his followers about the ritual they will perform tomorrow night during the lunar eclipse, the ritual that will "finish what we have started." M knows what he must do. The next morning, Monday, M pays a visit to a nearby church. While there, he dips a handful of bullets into a bowl of holy water. After the sun has set and the lunar eclipse begun, M returns to Dahmer's house, bullets in gun, gun in hand. He begins to shoot at everyone in the house, even MartÃn. Dahmer comes flying at M in an attempt to stop the shooting, but M puts a stake of wood through Dahmer's chest. Elizabeth is in the bathroom when she hears Carmilla screaming, peeks out the bathroom door, and sees M firing a bullet into Carmilla's abdomen. Elizabeth watches as Dahmer reappears (where's the stake in his chest?) and knocks down M. Then she starts to scream. Elizabeth has been taken to the police station where the police attempt to calm her down while they wait for her parents. Carmilla is being rushed into surgery, while her mother sits in the waiting room watching news reports of the lunar eclipse. M and Romero sit in the police interrogation room while M tries to explain to Romero how he got the idea of saving his friends' souls from the professor's own teachings. Romero is horrified that M would have so twisted his words and storms out of the room while M yells, "This isn't over yet!" So what happened? Was Dahmer really a vampire, turning M's friends into vampires? Was M a psychotic murderer? Were they just kids unable to handle the "good stuff"? Was it the effects of the lunar eclipse? Epilogue: Carmilla lies asleep in her hospital bed after undergoing surgery. The EKG beeps...beeps...beeps...then straightlines. Carmilla opens her eyes. In an alternative ending, all the characters -- M, Carmilla, MartÃn, Elizabeth, Dahmer, Punk, and Romero -- are seated around the playing table at the end of an all-night session of Sangre Eterna. Dahmer opens the curtains, letting in the sun, laughs and says to M, "I'll kill you tomorrow." Carmilla goes home, sneaks into her bedroom, and hops into bed. [Original synopsis by bj_kuehl]

There's going to be a total lunar eclipse over Santiago, Chile next Monday. The astrologers predict that there will be emotional consequences and changes all around. Professor Romero [Jorge Denegri] has given an assignment that his journalism students aren't too happy about...to conduct an interview with someone...anyone...just so long as it's someone of interest.
