Deep in the American South, an absinth bar doubles as a deadly hunting ground for Countess Elizabeth Báthory (Mena Suvari) and her glamorous coven of vampires, who use dating apps to lure in and feed on unsuspecting singles to keep their youth intact. Everything runs smoothly until Elizabeth swipes right on the worst possible matches: a calculating undercover vampire hunter, Cora (Dichen Lachman), and a group of emotionally stunted men. From there, it all unravels into a fever dream of blood, seduction, and chaos, with fangs, glitter, and green fairy energy colliding in a savage grindhouse nightmare.
Lachman recently spoke with SciFi Vision about her experience filming the movie, including her excitement to be back in vampire world again, working with blood effects, building the character through voice, and more, as well as about the challenge of playing multiple versions of the same character across projects like
Severance and
Dollhouse, and how she relies on physical cues like body tension and movement to separate each version in her performance.
Vampires of the Velvet Lounge opens exclusively in theaters on Friday, March 20th.
