Film Title: Vampire Assassins
Rating: 12/15
The film starts with Agent Ingrid Parks, a Vampire Assassin - walking in a woodland area, we are introduced to the inner workings of her mind (a monologue) she spots a red ribbon wrapped around a tree, a sign that her assistance is needed. Ingrid pulls on the ribbon and looks at the paper tag around it; a picture of the Victim, her name and some text 'The Human Knows Too Much' is seen before Ingrid crumples the card and walks away.
The next scene is inside the Victim's house, with them doing average every day stuff however we catch a shot of her computer, to find that she researching Vampires, the doorbell goes and she leaves the living room to answer the door - she answers it, only to find no one there, and shuts the door - as she turns around Ingrid is behind her, holding a sharp knife. She kills her and waits for her to be fully dead until she drains her body of blood - 'I try to be as humane as I can' Ingrid then goes around her house finding all evidence on information about Vampires and burns them in the victims fireplace.
Ingrid then goes back to the Head Quarters for the Assassin Base where we meet her employer and her boss - we are given no names apart from "Boss" and "Sir" - as Sir leaves Ingrid with her Boss she is given her next target, no picture is given yet, only a name. Ingrid then goes out tracking in another woodland area where she stumbles across a set of campers - a man and a woman. They appear to be alone however Ingrid hears another man approaching, the woman's brother. Intrigued by the humans, Ingrid watches them, remembering her Human life and how simple everything was - as the night draws on, due to an unpredicted wind the tent catches fire via the camp lights. Ingrid goes and rescues the humans though can only save the woman and her brother, the woman falls unconscious as Ingrid goes back into the burning wreck. The man tries to stop her and, in the process, sees her fangs. The man isn't obviously phased as he passes out due to the smoke - Ingrid stays with him before he goes fully unconscious, his last words to her are 'Thank you for saving my sister' Ingrid finds it difficult in resisting his blood however leaves immediately after calling 999.
A week later Ingrid then finds herself sleeping in a hotel room, during the day, she turns on the television and sees the local news of a fire in the forest (the fire Ingrid tried to save the humans from) they have a witness statement with the man who passed out, his name is Ben Newton, and during the interview he states that someone helped him and, though said jokingly, he said something weird about her smile. The television presenter puts it down to the smoke getting to him.
Ingrid is then given the job of having to assassinate Ben Newton, her original target being left for another assassin. Despite her will to kill Ingrid can't bring herself to it and, instead of tracking him like an assassin would normally do, she continually meets him in person. At first it happens by accident and she plans on not seeing him again however it comes to the state where she is seeing him almost everyday. The Head Quarters find out and set a new mission, to assassinate Ingrid and Ben.
The two, Ben and Ingrid, end up staying the night in a hotel room when the assassins comes for them (it is previously stated that it takes more that two assassins to kill a Vampire) after a fight in the hotel room Ingrid manages to keep Ben unharmed however manages to get shot in the shoulder. The two then run and head to the coast, with the assassins on their tail. Once they are their, Ben and Ingrid hide in one of the caves in the sea (knowing that Vampires are unable to swim and that they wouldn't dare risk it over the danger it presents) - after another fight Ben shows his true colours and pushes all but one of the assassins into the sea, each one of them drowning quickly. However the last assassin pulls Ingrid into the sea with them; Ben attempts to pull her out of the sea however she sinks to the bottom on the cave. Ben dives in after her and pulls her to the surface. Ben revives her using CPR and the kiss of life however, while bringing her back to life, some of the blood from Ben's lip (where he got punched) flows from Ben to Ingrid, not only causing her to come back from the brink but also to drink his blood and almost attack him.
The last shot we see is back in the forest, a red ribbon is tied around a tree with two tags attached to it, Ben and Ingrid on them, Ingrid and Ben look at the tags and smile to one another before walking away from the tree, leaving the tag behind, knowing that the assassins will be back for them.
