Anime Expo Cinema Nights presents a special 40th-anniversary screening of the cult classic VAMPIRE HUNTER D. Audiences will be treated to a special introduction to the film by HIDIVE's Star Butler and Shudder's head of programming, Sam Zimmerman.
One of the things we love about anime is its ability to transport us to different times and different worlds, and VAMPIRE HUNTER D, set in the year 12,090 AD in a world that has experienced a nuclear holocaust, is one of the finest examples the genre has to offer.
In this bleak wasteland, humans have to survive against harsh conditions, demonic creatures, and dangerous vampires. When a young girl is attacked by a vampire named Count Magnus Lee, people in her community hire D, a part-vampire swordsman, to track down and K*ll the count, thus saving the girl from turning.
With a huge dose of gore, scares, and badass action, VAMPIRE HUNTER D is a dark horror film for grown-ups that showcases the kind of eye-popping, fantastical entertainment that only anime can provide.
