Marie: An Episode in the Life of the Late Allan Quatermain (1912)

A bloodsucker is on the loose and Professor Arlin Marques is tracking it down or is the beast tracking him?

The Mayans knew about itA[a–athey drew pictographs of the creature on their temple walls.

Today, those who are brave enough to research this elusive creature rarely live to talk about it.

After a long time friend and colleague is found mysteriously murdered inside an ancient Mayan pyramid, Dr. Marques travels to his childhood home of Canovanas to attend his friendA[a–a[s funeral when he finds himself seeking answers. Unfortunately, he finds more than what he bargained for when he stumbles upon his colleagueA[a–a[s research. He discovers an unworldly bloodthirsty creature that has cross-linked human DNA to eventually evolve into something more sinister, something more familiar  a modern day vampire.
