Marie is a vampire with a conscience: She only sucks the blood of criminals. And she has plenty to choose from on the mean streets of Pittsburgh, where a gang war is raging. But Marie slips up when she accidentally turns a violent crime lord, Sal Macelli, into one of the walking dead. To stop a takeover of the city by blood-sucking gangsters, Marie joins forces with an undercover cop who has his own score to settle.

Critics Consensus

Awkward tonal shifts and a sluggish pace plague Innocent Blood -- a horror-comedy with anemic scares and laughs.

Time Out

Regrettably, all too often the tone lurches from stylish suspense to smart-ass in-jokiness and silly slapstick.

[An] overlong, overproduced spectacle.

2.5/5

It loses steam and coherence about midway through, leaving us rooting for it but doomed to disappointment.

An anemic effort that fails to make the most of a great hook.

His new film overflows with blood, but brutal cynicism, rather than innocence, reigns.

I absolutely love this movie! It's got everything you could possibly want in a vampire movie, just the right amount of bloody gore, a great plot (the vampire snacks on gangsters to cover her feeding) really really funny and my oh my what a sexy vampire!

I was reminded of this randomly and finally watched it. Not sure why it’s not more popular, it’s a fun popcorn horror flick. It still feels fresh, even though it’s from the early 90s. Don Rickles’ death scene is incredible.

I was very surprised by this movie. The gore was top notch. There were plenty of stellar performances, particularly Robert Loggia. It's a fun horror/gangster combo. It's easy to criticize a vid with such a wacky premise, but it works, and it works damn good. 100% Fresh to me

I REALLy enjoyed this campy movie - the performances, storyline and jokes were great, and Anne Parillaud was definitely instrumental in providing a strong lead role.

Very unique and interesting concept. There's some great bits in it, but the lead is completely unlikeable and kills any chance at getting invested in the movie. With someone else in the role, it could've been something great. The idea alone of a French vampire accidentally resurrecting a mobster to run around Pittsburgh as a creature of the night wreaking havoc, is something ripe for something fresh. There were some really great effects too.
