Longing for companionship, Barnes leaves a disastrous trail of blood-less bodies in her wake.

Reviews
"Deadly Love" is an outstanding piece of reverse casting. Susan Dey, whose middle name is Nice, plays the vampire, and Stephen McHattie, Mr. Menace, is the cop trying to stop a series of murders. Because neither of these actors is playing to type, we don't know until the end which of the captivated lovers is the bigger threat to the other. When McHattie is on the screen, he is the one you look at. Dey had to give a strong performance to live up to him, and succeeded." [3]
