She’s a thirsty vampire intent on only feeding on criminals, and this time she’s going out for Italian!
When bloodsucking Marie (Anne Parillaud) starts picking off members of the Pittsburgh mafia, she fails to finish the job with ruthless capo Sal “the Shark” Macelli (a gloriously over-the-top Robert Loggia). Transformed into a vampire, Sal wreaks havoc on the city, and Marie enlists the help of Detective Joseph Gennaro (Anthony LaPaglia) to stop the bloodletting.
Featuring some of your favorite paisans (including Tony Lip and Tony Sirico), plus a slew of fun cameos, Innocent Blood is a gore-soaked extravaganza with a demented sense of humor and gorgeous cinematography that will look incredible onscreen from director John Landis’s personal archival print.
