Walter is a somewhat church-weary, washed-up exorcist who prefers to spend his free time sipping beer. His tranquil life changes when he suspects he's encountered a vampire. Disorganized, he attempts to track him down and confront him—who else would do it? The centuries-old, sinister Blood Prince, on the other hand, pompous and self-absorbed, is enthusiastic about the new world he's encountered and helpless in the face of its technological and social advancements. Times of open hostility are interspersed with moments of rapprochement, but it soon becomes clear: Vienna isn't big enough for both. A vampire film that juggles the genre's trappings with a wink, charmingly sidestepping all conventions as an entertaining comedy. Sometimes by force.
