Crimson Lust

Documentary filmmaker Simon de Souza disappeared while filming an investigative piece about a band of self-proclaimed vampires. This footage was found abandoned by his camera crew. It shows his prepared introduction followed by interviews with band members, music video/concert footage, and even the events leading up to de Souza's tragic disappearance. We believe de Souza planned to expose the band members' blood-sucking ways as nothing more than an elaborate stage act. We may never know the truth, but de Souza's cameras did find Crimson Lust to be a band negotiating the murky waters of rock stardom while apparently concealing a dark secret.
