Possible names for our film include:
Sanguivoria - comes from the word 'fear of blood-eaters' or 'fear of vampires' which could represent the victim's fear or the general fear of the town it is set about a vampire on the loose. It could also represent the protagonist's inner fear about himself as a vampire.
Porphyria - A condition that some scientists believe 'vampires' had which means they don't have harm in their blood so need to consume large amounts of blood to replace it. It causes sufferers to crave human blood like a thirst and drinking blood relieves their symptoms, and also makes them allegedly sensitive to sunlight. This would set the scene of the protagonist being accepted as more of a 'normal' person instead of a supernatural being, to show his true self rather than his alter ego, and could be used as an explanation at the end of the film to his behaviour, which is why he was in so much denial. It would also work with our modern-day based vampire theme.
Just One Bite - This could either mean one bite is all it takes for the protagonist to have control over his victim's fate, or his way of thinking that 'just one bite' won't do any harm when he is struggling to control his cravings, so represents his lack of self control throughout the film.
Haemophilia - A bleeding disorder where there are excess internal or external bleeding episodes due to problems with blood clotting. This firstly relates to theme and craving of blood throughout the film and could refer to the excess about of blood being shed due to the cravings of the protagonist, and how the blood can't clot from a vampire attack as he sucks the blood out of them, or poisons it or doesn't take enough, to make the victim also become a vampire.
Under The Surface - This represents the element of secrecy the protagonist has about his life, and that there is more to him, an alter-ego, that is under the surface of his own consciousness, where he can't control the points where he has transformed, and also how the rest of the world don't know about it either.
