7 Sins of The Vampire (2002) / Devilish Desire of Dario Dragani (2012) (DVD)

Alluring vampire women infest an urban jungle, posing as hookers to lure their prey and then tearing out their hearts - and sometimes other, more private parts!

Veteran police detective Groper and his rookie partner Slimski are assigned to investigate a bizarre series of murders - corpses found completely drained of blood with the hearts ripped from the chest. Tragedy strikes close to home when Slimski's teenage sister becomes the killers' latest victim. A hot lead brings the lawmen to an abandoned house where the vampire hookers dwell. In a final onslaught of horror, the two cops face an army of bloodthirsty monsters, and must fight a desperate battle for their own survival.
