A Vampire couple, Fran and Miriam, stop unsuspecting men on the side of the road by posing as hitchhikers, then lure them to their creepy and secluded mansion. Once inside they feed them copious amounts of wine, have their way with them, and ultimately drink their blood and fake their deaths as car crashes along the road near the house. Apparently the abundance of fatal car crashes all on one little stretch of road doesn't ring any alarm bells with the authorities.
One victim, Ted, seems to become a favourite of Fran's and is kept alive for a number of days, although he is weak from loss of blood. Nonetheless, he starts to get wise to their game as he notices more and more strange behavior on the part of the two women and begins to find unexplained wounds on himself in the morning.
Meanwhile, two American tourists, John and Harriet, are camping near by. Harriet observes the strange goings-on in and around the house and grows suspicious. John believes she simply has an over-active imagination. But one day Ted escapes and makes his way to John and Harriet's trailer to seek help. Now they are forced to face off against the vampires in a life or death fight.
Vampyres can't boast too much in the plot department and is a bit repetitive with a basic story line which serves only to facilitate from scene to scene of softcore porn and/or violent murders. Overall the movie is well enough done in terms of cast, acting, effects, and a really good setting. With those things combined a really good, scary, vampire movie could have been made. But this isn't it.
