Film Synopsis (vampire scene)

The screen shows the priest, heavily panting as he steps backwards to hit against the railing of the second floor. Shown from the priest's point of view, scary, suspenseful music starts playing as the vampire, pale and tall, slowly paces forward towards the priest. The scene cuts to show the priest running to the left as he tries to run away from the vampire. However, the priest is too slow, and the scene cuts to show the vampire leaping to the priest in slow motion. During this slow motion, the only sound heard is the heavy breathing of the priest as the vampire gets closer. Sad, slow music plays as the screen cuts to show the vampire on top of the priest at bird's eye view. The camera slowly zooms out, revealing the priest being killed on top of the alter in the church. Once the camera shows the cross above the alter, the screen fades to black. The music also slowly fades to total silence.
