«Not to be
confused with the earlier (and singular) the
Caretaker,
writer and director Steve Hudgins has followed a line of concentrating on the
vampire’s human servant that has also been seen in such films as
the Familiar

Sodium Babies.
... Catherine is a pureline vampire – another species. This is where we get the
interesting lore. The pureline vampires have one main vulnerability – that is
the deepest part of their sleep is so deep that anything could be done to them.
Because of this they are secretive and have human caretakers. Jack is
Catherine’s caretaker but she realises that he wants more out of life, which is
why she wants him to train his replacements – this ends up being a father and
his daughter who Catherine had saved from a serial killer. We discover that the
purelines have telekinetic and limited telepathic powers (she knows when her
caretaker is hurt) and a support network through human society. They feed on
blood but it is slightly different to most vampire films. They have to bite
their victim and release a chemical into the wound that alters the blood over a
period of time – making it drinkable (though this does not sound like a good
evolutionary survival tactic). If a victim should escape with their blood
altered – like Rachel did – then they become a hybrid, developing fangs and an
overwhelming and inescapable hunger. They must drink their own blood type and
become increasingly unstable and violent. Rachel quickly develops the ability to
smell her own blood type. Catherine wants Rachel found and destroyed. ...»».
