Demon Under Glass

Demon Under Glass is a 2002 film directed by Jon Cunningham. The film tells the story of a centuries old vampire, Simon Molinar Jason Carter who gets captured by a government group calling themselves The Delphi Project. The team of scientists and government officials proceed to study the vampire in captivity. Its only one member of the team, a Dr. Joe McKay, who starts to treat the vampire captive like an actual person rather than as an experiment. Dr. Mckay is forced to see the humantiy of their monster captive and the ruthless cruelty of his own team and raises the question of what defines a monster?

Bassett locked Dr. McKay in a room with the vampire but Simon escaped instead of turning Dr. McKay into a vampire. During his escape Simon ripped the caduceus necklace from Dr. McKays neck. Its a necklace that Dr. McKay never takes off and wore as a sign of healing and his Hippocratic oath. Simon Molinar stole this as a memento because of his growing fondness for Dr. McKay despite having been his prisoner.The novel for Demon Under Glass, written by Deborah Warner as D. L. Warner, was published the same year as the films release. About two thirds of the novel is the same story as the film however the novel continues after Molinars escape. ........
