Okay, let me start this out by laying the scene for you; picture this: a prohibition era flick about rum-runners, except instead of running rum, it's vampires running blood. How does that sound to you? To me that sounds like one hell of a winning premise. Add some Ice-T to the mix (the human being/rapper/actor, not, you know, the drink) and I'm thinking we've got a top contender for a cult classic flick right here.
Will the new film BLOODRUNNERS live up to it's beautiful premise? That remains to be seen, but if you are like me, you'll be willing to give the film the benefit of the doubt and give it a peep when it hits Blu Ray March 7th. Until then, we've got some info on the flick to keep you intrigued until the release.

And here is the film's synopsis:
By 1933, Prohibition has proven a booming enterprise, where average citizens break the law, hide in the shadows and operate at night. The new world order has even lined the pockets of corrupt cops like Jack Malone (McFadden). He collects a 'luxury tax' from every bootlegger and scofflaw in the small town he has sworn to protect. While shaking down the newest speakeasy in the local underground, Jack and his men uncover a clan of vampires hell bent on taking over the town. Now Chesterfield (Ice-T), an ancient vampire, and his horde must hide their secret at any cost. The bloody result leaves several bodies and innocent townsfolk taken as lambs to await the slaughter. With nowhere else to turn, Jack joins forces with a busboy and a crazy preacher to save the town and make a final stand against Chesterfield and his vampires.
