Awful! Awful!

I can only guess how many of such flicks are coming out each year, but
Dear God - wasn't this one just plain nonsense, shallow, dumb and
pointless movie? It's all about getting naked - I bet there's been some
serious script behind it, however the guys couldn't collect the money,
so they asked Playboy, and here we are, staring at this worst-looking
vampire of all time, licking and petting that girl (she's supposed to
be virgin), showing his tiny little vampire teeth, and all that same
camp. Don't watch this movie. No, I take it back - watch it and cry,
cause it's worse than Manos or Plan 9.

This moive was never meant to be a classic vampire movie. Its just a erotic drama. In the grounds of steamy cinema, this movie does a fine job. Hence, its definitly not a awful movie.

"It's all about getting naked"

Ding! Ding! Ding!

That's pretty pathetic.

I'm watching it right now and it is really bad...I mean I know the point is skin but, its too cheesy to sit through even just for that. I always wonder how films like this make money...they don't come out in theatres and doubt they get rented much unless most people are far less discerning than me. Right then after this Pasta Express commercial I'm turning it off and going to bed.

Cor, it was stupid. The only reason people like it so much is because everyone in America has the horn, I swear.

I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold
And leaves of gold there grew...

OK... although this movie isn't the best...it wasn't all that bad.. Ok, aside from the *acting*, which wasnt soooo bad either, the concept of the storyline is actually pretty good. If it was to be made again with less nudity and better acting, it could maybe, possibly, actually become a hit.. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i actually think it wasn't the worst movie.

FaultySynapse, you said its not worth watching even just for the 'skin'

why are you even watching it?

'skipping to the good bit comes to mind'

lmao.

Man I was pleased when this came out on DVD!!

Can't remember what the story is but then, who would watch this for the story!!

[–] writersbloc-1 16 years ago

Agreed. In its proper context, this is a movie of that late night, mid-nineties, cable-TV skin-fare genre. It's right up there with Red-Shoe Diaries (pretty much anything involving Zalman King), Blown Away (with Nicole Eggert from Charles in Charge and Baywatch), the Poison Ivy Series, etc. What they lack in plot, they make up with gratuitous nudity. I'm not complaining, I'm just sayin'...

If I may share, the strangest scene in the movie is where she's lying on this concrete slab, allegedly passed-out. Her arms are splayed as I would expect. It's a very Christ-like position, the one upon the cross. But her legs are together, bent at the knees and pointing skyward as if to relieve the pressure on her lower back. It was strange to me. Of course, to be fair, I've no real experience with being passed out on a slab. So what do I know, right?

yes plot terrible, acting less than terrible, alyssa milano naked, alot, and hot... i still think she is one of the hottest women to ever grace the screen... and people wonder why 'Charmed' lasted so long on TV

If I want to see porn I usually, well, turn on porn. Not some ultra cheesy crap that is a disgrace to the entire vampire genre.

[–] ivyatplay 17 years ago

I've seen worse vampire movies. In general, there are tons of movies much worse.

[–] madn_109 16 years ago

Well if you want to see porn with Alyssa Milano this is pretty much the only choice xD

There is nothing sacrosanct about the vampire genre; ergo, it can’t be disgraced. It has no grace.

[–] buckshot69 17 years ago

I didn't think it was that bad. In no way will it ever get a ten but it was a fun movie to watch. When you compare it to some horror sequels it isn't all that bad.

At first, I thought it was awful, but then half way down the movie, I realized that this movie was nothing but a skin flick, so I watched it as a soft porn.

This movie isn't bad if you treat it as a soft porn and just use your remote control to fast forward it to the good parts, you know, the sex/erotic scenes.

The good thing about this movie is that I got it for free. My friend gave me the DVD after he saw it. I guess he didn't care for this kind of movie and never wanted to watch it again. I know my friend is not gay. I have no ideas why he didn't like this movie, maybe like other people said this movie is cheesy, slow and dull.

This movie is only worth it for scenes of Alyssa barefoot (her ankles and soles can be seen at the beginning) and that's it.

[–] ll-rr 14 years ago

This movie is only worth it for scenes of Alyssa's barefoot???
