Bloodsuckers (also known as Vampire Wars: Battle for the Universe) is a 2005 television film by Daniel Grodnik Productions directed by Matthew Hastings and produced by Gilles Laplante.

The film stars Natassia Malthe and Dominic Zamprogna as the premier protagonists working as vampire hunters in space.

Quintana has chosen to side with humans in the intergalactic war against vampires, but that doesn't stop Rosa and Roman from questioning her loyalty and making snide remarks to her face.

After cleaning up the mess following a Vorhee attack on Earth Base Quantum in the Takai System, the Heironymous receives a distress call from a scared soil-sample technician on Basra 14, a remote mining colony.

With no further assignments in the roster, the Heironymous puts down at Transit Station DHF in the Millerton Quadrant to drop off Fiona and allow the crew a little R&R while awaiting orders.

Instead, they have put in for a transfer and intend to go clubbing in the interim, but their retinal scans and IDs suddenly won't work.

Quintana now recognizes Vermis nosferati, a species of wormlike vampires that lives inside the body of a host and comes out only to feed.

Meanwhile, watching from closed circuit cameras, Fiona and her friends Gilles and Vondi discuss the arrogance of their human species and applaud the work their group has accomplished in their efforts to put a monkey wrench in "unbridled Earth imperialism."

Convinced that the Earth's declaration of Manifest Destiny is a plague on the galaxy, they have been plotting with Muco, leader of the Vorhees to stop the intergalactic expansion of humans and end prejudice against vampires.

Reasoning further that Fiona must have left the Transit Station just before they returned, Damian calls up the record of her departing flight plan and learns that it leads to Cosmosis.

Just then, they get a call from HQ directing them on a search and destroy mission in the Knobe System, but Damian and the crew decide that taking a little detour to Cosmosis is necessary to revenge Captain Churchill's death, even if it means they'll all be fired.

[1] Dread Central criticized the film's vampires for not being "all that menacing or compelling" while also stating that "Bloodsuckers easily ranks one of the Sci-Fi Channels most entertaining original productions yet.

"[2] DVD Talk shared similar sentiments, writing "Chock full of bad acting, ridiculously pulpy dialogue, and tons of sloppily satisfying gore, Vampire Wars is by all conceivable measures a pretty awful movie.
