The Breed was a 2001 horror film with an estimated budget of 4 million dollars. The film was rated R for strong violence and gore as well as some nudity and sexuality.
The film features a dystopic future in which vampires are a marginalized race living in formerly Jewish ghettos, often shot in actual abandoned Jewish ghettos. Another major influence in the look of the film is Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
A police officer (Bokeem Woodbine) in an unspecific future investigates a series of strange murders. His superiors introduce him to another officer (Adrian Paul) who will be helping him.
