I saw this movie (can’t remember if it was a TV show or movie) on TV back when I was a kid, it was a horror movie that began with a family of inbred nobles? wearing very fancy clothing who wanted to keep the family line pure. Their family ate raw meat. the family then have a son and daughter, and then they family gets kill by a mob and the children are separated while they fled.
The boy gets adopted by a family then there is a timeskip. the boy has always had to eat raw meat and he wants to find out about his family so he goes back to where he came from and finds the village. the village is constantly attacked by creatures and the guy gets attacked by one and is taken to their leader who turns out to be his sister who is mom to these monsters.
I do not remember anything else from the movie and want to know how the movie ends. Movie was in color, live action, but it seemed old even when i watched it in the 90s so i cant tell when it was created exactly.
Thanks for any help
This is a shot in the dark but the story has superficial similarities to H.P. Lovecraft’s story “The Lurking Fear” and there was an adaptation of it in 1994 that strayed enough from the source material that it could be the film you’re lookimg for.
Dark Heritage (1989)
just guessing, really. because it does sound like an adaptation of “The Lurking Fear,” but i’m sure it’s neither the 1994 film nor Bleeders (Hemoglobin) (1997). none of these filmed adaptations go into the backstory of the clan in any great length, so…
Maybe this?
Bleeders

All three of these films are loose adaptations of the same Lovecraft story I mentioned above. Seems like it would have to be one of them! 🙂
Thanks everyone for the suggestions and reading the wiki for the movies (and the lovecraft story those movies are based on) sounded literally like the movie i remember but watching the clips on youtube none of them reminded me of the movie. I will watch the whole movie of each but i think it is another movie that i saw. Hopefully its just my memory that is wrong
You’re welcome and I hope you can find it! Lovecraft is so influential there are hundreds of films that use his ideas as a springboard without being explicit adaptations. Let us know if you can positively identify the one you’re looking for. Thanks!
Please come back and tell us if we got it right.
Good afternoon. After watching the movie it was Bleeders that i was looking for thank you very nuch everyone. I think i mixed it up because i saw dark heritage as well and got confused. But Bleeders was the one that i was looking for. Thank you everyone!
Yay! Thanks for letting us know!
Solved by Livinghead! Thanks for letting us know Horrormovieguy.
Thank you Horrormovieguy! I knew it was one of those based on Lovecraft’s Lurking Fear movies.
