Embrace of the Vampire

Embrace of the Vampire is a strange film that evokes ambiguous feelings in me. On one hand, it has a silly script, below-average actors (Charlotte Lewis, Gregg Vance), and above all, it mystifies by pretending to be a horror, which it truly isn't even by accident, and it can disgust genre fans to extremities. On the other hand, I cannot deny its delightfully decadent erotic atmosphere - the heavily made-up and drugged Alyssa Milano scenes, filmed through a filter, have a greater effect on me than any pornographic film. It's simply an erotic B-movie that doesn't go very far in depicting nudity and sex but still maintains its style by using certain important erotic elements, especially for fetishists, and most importantly, it has a huge advantage in the casting of the charming Milano, who was at the peak of her charms at the time and earns the film a star on her own. Overall impression 35%. (04.05.2008)

I'm glad that I finally figured out how to recognize a virgin who is about twenty years old. They never wear a bra, and moreover, their dreams are full of erotic fantasies, in which even vampires appear. By the way, those dreams are also quite lesbian. From this, a simple lesson can be drawn. You better get rid of your virginity as soon as possible because you might go crazy from it. Why keep it for some prince Krason when a vampire is after you? Stupid, but Alyssa has nice breasts. And that is probably the most important lesson of the whole movie. (12.11.2013)
