Zora the Vampire (Italian: Zora la Vampira) is a 2000 Italian horror-comedy film written and directed by Manetti Bros. It is loosely based on the eponymous comic character.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Plot

In the year 2000, Dracula moves from Romania to Italy, having been inspired by Italian television shows and grown weary of drinking from Romanians. He is placed under suspicion of Italian police because all the other immigrants on the same boat as him were found dead and drained of blood. In the meantime, he meets a graffiti artist named Zora. ^[4]
