Tokyo Vampire Hotel (Season 1)

Tokyo Vampire Hotel (2017) — watch online on iFILM — is a Japanese series from director Sion Sono, who built his career on films that refuse to be one thing at a time. On her 22nd birthday, Manami survives a massacre at a bar and ends up in the crossfire between two warring vampire dynasties: the Draculas and the Corvins. She isn't a bystander. She's a prophecy.

While Manami's fate unfolds, young people across Japan are being funneled into the Hotel Requiem — the only place that will survive the coming apocalypse, or so they're told. Yamada, a Corvin, delivers this news with the calm of someone announcing a schedule change. The survival on offer isn't what anyone signed up for. Sono layers mythology, gore and grand-opera theatrics into something genuinely strange. Stream Tokyo Vampire Hotel online on iFILM.
