Draghoula
Draghoula is a 1995 film directed by Bashar Shbib.[1] A tribute to the high concept trashiness of B-movies, the film centres on Harry (Chriss Lee), a scientist who is trying to locate the gene that controls guilt, but transforms into a combination vampire and drag queen after being bitten by one of his lab rats.[2]
