Nothing Special I'm Afraid

It's a pretty short and generic vampire story. Perfectly serviceable if that's what you want, though! It's hardly a large time commitment and it's kinda nice to hear a vampire story played very straight. Just don't expect any extra bells and whistles on top of that.

Cathy Dobson's performance is sadly the weakest part for the package. She likes to speak with a very strange inflection and emphasis words that don't need to be emphasised.

If you like vampire stories and you want something quick and cheap I'd say go for it. Just don't expect 'The Vampire Maid' to be a lost gem among the Draculas and Carmillas out there.
