This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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.

Catch it on your Tivo from a premium channel. Fast forward to Ms. Milano's nude scenes. Shouldn't take you more than ten minutes, including the Tivo setup. I can imagine the production process. Got Alyssa Milano to agree to nudity, hired her. Wrote a one page script around that starting point. Found a Gothic location. Hired some nude models, one journeyman actor and some hopefuls. Shot it in a week, including casting. It looks like a film school project. I'm guessing this was the first job for more than one person.Oddly, Jennifer Tilly shows up for one scene. I got the feeling that she was in town, met someone (or her agent did) at a party and got a day's pay at scale.

I saw this since I had been looking for some more decent vampire movies and this had been recommended to me as having a good story and being erotic. Neither could be further from the truth.I had no previous knowledge of Alyssa Milano and I don't think I'll have much more after this. Her role as the coy, sheltered convent girl coming of age in a college after the forced desires of her otherwordly vampire lover is hackneyed and boring. It could have been good if it had been at all done well but every part is played with such flatness and lack of conviction that it's embarrassing. And then you have the vampire himself, Martin Kemp - from EastBenders and Spandau Ballet fame... the combination is just too cringeworthy for me to recall.As for the erotic moments, well, Alyssa does get some of her kit off and then the focus goes soft, the music starts and the whole thing is about as sexy as watching Carry On Camping slowed down. Just when things start to get slightly steamy, such as the only mildly erotic moment between her and a female photographer, the scene ends and we have another long shot of the college the next day. The most laughable bit is the 'orgy' at the end when most of the girls and guys are still clothed, Alyssa does a bit of ogling, bites her lip for the thousandth time and leaves.All in all, if you're looking for an erotic vampire film or a vampire film of any decent sorts - avoid this one. It's 'late night Dawsons Creek' style of photography and insipid story - not to mention emotional content - makes it a thorough waste of 90 minutes. If you want a really quality vampire film watch Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders or Daughters Of Darkness, but steer clear of this tripe.

This has got to be the worst movie EVER !!! I bought it based on Pheobe from Charmed and of course Martin Kemp is a very good actor. Sadly this film and the actors are just sooooooooooooooooooooooo BAD ! I wouldn't watch it again if someone paid me to. I advise you NOT to watch it, as you will never get that time back. It was really really bad (I said that already didn't I?) The plot is terrible, the acting is awful, the music is very bad and the whole film is just a big fat waste of time. The basic plot is this vampire can only live if he seduces the last virgin something or other.....see it was so boring, I have forgotten already! Alyssa & Martin's acting is so wooden & corny and Alyssa's boobs are also really fake :o) And believe me you see them enough. Its almost like they tried to fill the time with sex because the story couldn't sustain itself. Oh this bit won't work, lets show her naked...sort of thing. Anyway, do NOT watch this movie, as it really really is THAT bad! To all Charmed fans I beg you not to buy/rent it, because 1) its a waste of your hard earned money and 2) it will probably put you off Charmed forever!! I'm sorry I don't have anything good to say, I really do, as I had high expectations for this movie.
