[edit] Synopsis
The story is set in New York: the main storyline revolved around two friends who move in together. One of them meets a seemingly perfect woman who, in secret, kills all the men who she sleeps with. She is a vampire who seeks blood and vengeance against men foolish enough to be tempted by her, hence the name def by temptation.
The audience is first given a taster of the vampires powers when she kills a local in the public house, where the main story is played. After questions are asked, the main character, known as "James Bond" falls for her and is, despite his insightful religious friends advice, killed by her. However, the religious friend eventually kills the woman through brandishing his cross and stabbing her in the heart.
However, the twist at the end reveals that one of the main characters, another pub local, has survived the womans wrath and is now a vampire, instead a male version. This transformation is made clear to the audience through his saying "Let's go to my room", the saying the female vampire used to use.
[edit] Box-Office and Reaction
