Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
While reading old Fangoria magazines I came across an article about this flick that it should be a must see because it's all about vampires on an erotic way and that the director Anne Goursaud was going to make a spin-off of Poison Ivy called Lily. It never came that far and I can understand why because this flick here is a big failure.There's a bit of a vampire walking around and the first minute looked great but once we move towards nowadays this flick turns into a boring flick. There's not that much of vampirism going on, the only thing we have is a catholic 17 year old girl ( Alyssa Milano) turning into a nympho, and that's what you will get, turning into a sexy looking college socks wearing mini skirted chick showing it off for the viewer, she will have lesbian sex, strips down for the camera (unwilling), having gang bangs and does show a lot of her body, no this isn't horror this is just Alyssa showing her naked body over and over again. Like Martin Kemp (the vampire) should sing with his band Spandau Ballet, 'much is true'.Gore 0/5 Nudity 2/5 Effects 0,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
Vampires may be the living dead, but if you can sit through this one without taking at least three or four breaks you're not living dead, you're brain dead. The theme is far from new: age old vampire seeks his reincarnated virgin. How he becomes a vampire in the first place is silly, then we jump forward a couple of hundred years or so, and we are on a college campus where leading man and bad guy Martin Kemp is pursuing the virginal Alyssa Milano. Kemp is still best known for being one quarter of new romantics Spandau Ballet. He is also not a bad actor, but even Tom Hanks, Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier and Al Pacino melded together couldn't pull this one off. Rubbish plot and script aside, this is a film that starts off with some pretence to Gothic horror, then decides it wants to become lesbian porn, then simply porn, and finally degenerates into farce as the campus virgin smokes her first cigarette, when suddenly she is not so sweet and pure. There is nothing wrong with using dream or nightmare sequences in a film, but there are ways to indicate this. If a character who has been murdered appears in a later scene, is this person now a vampire, or did the dastardly deed take place only in the damsel's head? That is assuming she was even in that scene. Confused? Who wouldn't be!This has been called a B Movie; in truth there are not enough letters in even the Tamil alphabet to rate this garbage, and it is not so much the embrace of the vampire as his kiss of death.
This film was a gift from God to those of us who grew up crushing on Alyssa Milano in Who's the Boss. This is, obviously, a pretty awful flick. I'd always assumed it was made directly for Cinemax. But it is amusingly awful and, Hell, say what you want about the rest of it, but it's actually super hot. Milano is drop-dead gorgeous and there are plenty of other beautiful naked women all over the place. The vampire who stalks her (Martin Kemp) is hilariously awful. His terribleness keeps the movie light and funny, which it doesn't want to be but it'd probably be far less tolerable otherwise. I wish I had recorded a few more of his lines, but right from the beginning we get juicy nuggets like "I'll destroy anything that gets in my way, even my heart, if need be!" Everything he says is overwritten and over acted, often behind a really dumb looking leather vest. So, yes, a bad movie, but I quite like it.
There is only one reason this movie was made, So that Alyssa Milano could show of her post, Who's the Boss, Breast implants. Seriously, this movie vampire lore doesn't even try to make sense. A vampire who was sired back in Playboy's version of the Renissance, By three vampire chicks with Blow dried hair and modern day tattoos. He's lived for a few hundred years and now that he's seen Alyssa Milano he MUST have her by her 18th birthday, or he'll die literally. Which kind of sucks. I had no idea Vampirism had an expiration date.In the end the lesbian Photographer scene IS the movie there is nothing else to see, the Photographer is the most interesting character and does not get enough screen time. And Alyssa Milano's breasts are very nice.PS: I will also just say this now, (SPOILER) Jeniffer Tilly WAS the vampire, She wasn't a servant, she had the same tattoo and disappeared after the jump cut. Congrads you just jerked to gay soft-core.
