Innocent Blood

Marie is a centuries old vampire who preys on criminals, convinced there is a code in her blood. She stalks the night with cool confidence, choosing targets from mob circles and other misdeeds. When a brutal mob boss escapes her disposal, the routine turns into a sharper game that drags her into the thick web of underworld politics and undead power. The chase pits human and vampire factions against each other, testing Marie's restraint and her stubborn moral code. What follows is a brisk blend of crime story and dark humor, where loyalties shift and danger keeps pace with wit.

Directed by John Landis, Innocent Blood released in 1992 from an original screenplay by Michael Wolk, with a budget of 20 million dollars. The film blends horror with crime and humor, reflecting Landis's eclectic approach.

The movie has a modest but durable cult status among genre fans for mixing mob dark comedy with vampire lore. Fans recall Anne Parillaud's cool performance and the way the film leans into self aware humor even as it delivers genre shocks.

Critics offered mixed reactions, noting brisk pacing and a playful cast while calling out tonal shifts. The film examines crime and morality through a supernatural lens, using humor to temper violence and to satirize mob culture while exploring desire and power.
