What happens

The Breed is a 2001 horror film with an estimated budget of 4 million dollars. The film features a dystopic future in which vampires are a marginalized race living in formerly Jewish ghettos, often shot in actual abandoned Jewish ghettos. Another major influence in the look of the film is Terry Gilliam's Brazil. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
