'The Understudy: Graveyard Shift 2' (1989) – Jerry Ciccorritti.

Life soon bloodily imitates art as the stressy director of a low-budget horror film inadvertently hires charismatic loner, Baisze, a genuine vampire to star in her increasingly doomed production! Unjustly obscure, I remain a huge fang of cult indie vamp horror 'Graveyard Shift', and Ciccorritti's engaging sequel is a solid followup. The lovely, Wendy Gazelle is a propah cutie, and her swarthy vampire lover Baisze (Silvio Oliviero) exudes a dangerous Paul Stanley sensuality. Mark Soper, star of cult 80s slasher 'Blood Rage', is amiable enough as nice guy editor Matthew, and no 80s horror film is remotely legit without a noisily sax-slathered sex scene! Thoroughly undeserving of its seemingly arbitrary low rating, this sexy Canadian DTV horror flick is a worthy late night watch for vampire lovers!
