Film from the early 90’s, I believe, where a priest at a monastery in (Mexico?) is bitten by a vampire but then refuses to feed on others. There is a bad vampire who feeds on the nuns. The good vampire priest guy finds a woman and falls in love with her but keeps the fact that he is a vampire from her. The bad vampire grows jealous of his friend falling away from him and eventually bites the woman so that he can have them all come together as a group of the same. This causes the good vampire to track down and kill the bad vampire. There is also a scene where they show a woman being burned at the stake on a hillside I believe. That’s about all I remember except that it looks like it took place before the 1900’s and it was definitely hot and took place in the desert.
Could it possibly be this one? It’s more obscure, it does have a girl burning at the end, monastery, vampires…
90s Vampires?
we are for sure priest was a known vampire and it is at a monastery? just trying to narrow my searches on imdb. could it be early 2ks at all?
Could it be The Laughing Dead from 1989?
Not vampires, but maybe this:
does anyone remember when exactly they saw it and where? did it mix current day and the old times? do you remember the cover or poster? nudity?
i am half thinking it may not be vampires but maybe another entity… let us try
meridian
black sunday?
i am digging hard again…several possibilities to come
midnight mass?
could the film have any cars/modern stuff in it?
This sounds so much like Interview with the Vampire. But protagonist isn’t priest. Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles (1994) - IMDb
ghouls (2017)?
i know this is newer, but has tons of the hallmarks you described…was dubbed in english too

the monk

@VHS_Lives, Apparently you can only put 10 comments in one post. But I am right there with you lol. It’s driving me nuts. I would say that if the genre isn’t horror it would be drama or thriller. Definitely a slower paced film with only really the main 3 actors speaking and the other extras are the nuns/missionaries that don’t speak English. There are also some people at the burning at the stake on the hill but I don’t recall them speaking in English either. The film takes place mostly in various rooms in the monastery and now that I think about it, here is a good detail. I remember the evil vampire hanging out in some sort of cave like tunnels toward the end of the film. If I recall that is where the protagonist kills him (Don’t quote me on that last part).
Maybe one of the Subspecies?
