Da Sweet Blood of Jesus: Trailer for Spike Lee Non-Vampire Movie

I never really expected Spike Lee to make a vampire movie. Then again, Da Sweet Blood of Jesus sure doesn't look like any vampire movie I've ever seen. Really, it's not exactly a vampire flick, certainly not in any traditional sense, and the official synopsis down below goes out of its way to stress that the Dr. Green is "not a vampire." But any time you have mystic curses and blood drinking, the "v-word" is bound to come up. 

All that being said, Da Sweet Blood of Jesuslooks fascinating. Watch the trailer here:

Here's the official synopsis:

Spike Lee's new stylized thriller DA SWEET BLOOD OF JESUS is a new kind of love story. Dr. Hess Green (Stephen Tyrone Williams) becomes cursed by a mysterious ancient Afrian artifact and is overwhelmed with a newfound thirst for blood. He however is not a vampire. Soon after his transformation he enters into a dangerous romance with Ganja Hightower (Zaraah Abrahams) that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society.

We owe a tip of the hat to Fangoriafor turning us on to this trailer.
