I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

In fact I thought it was pretty good. And before I get accused of being a shill or part of the production team/company, I usually find that these types of movies are not done particularly well. I did find myself surprised by this, after convincing myself from the concept, which has been seen many times and often done in a cheesy fashion, that I'd hate it. But I'm glad I did give it a chance, as The Insatiable is much better than the concept makes out. Okay, it is not perfect, there are some slow-moving parts towards the beginning that made me think initially that it wouldn't be a good movie, the ending is rushed and I personally did find the character of Javier annoying. On the plus side, I thought technically The Insatiable was quite good. I know there are people who are not a fan of the techniques used, I'm not a fan really myself, however they are not over-used and they are not too cheap either. The scenery is more than just looking like somebody's basement and the make-up and such is also a vast improvement on other movies within the genre like Mutants and Vampegeddon. I've heard better music before, but also much worse and more over-bearing, while the sound effects aren't bizarre. The script does surprisingly have its fun and intelligent moments(I was in all honesty expecting cheese and a complete lack of flow), and the story while not completely perfect actually grabbed me, made the concept seem fresh and while mixing different genres it gave the vibe that it knew exactly what it wanted to be. On all those points, it does deserve a lot of credit in my eyes. On the most part, I liked the characters. I didn't care much for Javier(personal tastes of course), but the lead character I found easy to root for. The acting was also good, in Sean Patrick Flannery's case I'd go as far to say it was great. Charlotte Ayanna is not only gorgeous but also likable. Michael Biehn was good too but deserved more screen time. Overall, considering what I was dubiously expecting, The Insatiable was not bad at all. 7/10 Bethany Cox

The vampire genre has got the be most abused genre in movie making. Movie makers just have no clue about what to do with it. When was the last time anyone made a great vampire flick? The latest catastrophe is The Insatiable. Marketed as some erotic horror movie it turns out to be a dull comedic romance, which is neither funny nor romantic. There is a lot of the awful Tarantino-esquire self-conscious direction and (mis)use of music to make things lighthearted. The story centers around a depressed loner loser (bad idea #1) who witnesses a vampire crime. Seen as a crazy guy or perpetrator by the police he takes matters into his own hands going online in search of help. He finds a reluctant vampire hunter with whom he chats online for long times (bad idea #2, people typing on keyboards is never interesting in a movie). He sets out to kill the vampire but being unable to do so chooses to take her captive in a cage in his basement. So most of the action/ interaction will take place between the main characters talking in a basement (bad idea #3). This is a looong, boring, Z-budget movie but with good production values. It's "not rated" but if it were, it's rating would be PG-13. Don't expect a gore fest or lots of sex and nudity- that's just the marketing trick applied to the title. We are told the vampire is insatiable but we have to take the character's words for it because we see no evidence of it. There's one two-second sex-in-clothes scene. Only in American movies do people have sex while clothed. Pretty soon you notice that the story isn't going to go anywhere. The male lead is sympathetic and likable but overacted as is one of his coworkers who plays the funny jerk non-stop. What keeps this movie from being a complete narcotic is the vampire who is a beautiful girl. There's also an attractive neighbor. Pretty but underused girls. The script shows some signs of intelligence here and there. The ending is "good" but given that the rest of the movie is so bad and one has absolutely no hopes or expectations that things will improve, any ending where something, anything happens, would have been good. We are told this thing was filmed in Austin although the only evidence that it wasn't filmed in California is that the girls have gorgeous hair, unlike the lifeless hair of lazy California girls. I was thinking it was filmed in Canada since it's so good natured and dull. Why it takes two directors to film this is a mystery. Half a director could have done it on a weekend. The credits mention a 'behind the scenes' director. Funny, there are no Behind the Scenes in the Special Feautures. In fact there are no extras on this DVD. A shame, any additional screen time of the girls would could have helped. Stay away from this mess.

This movie is like a much better remake of Dance of The Damned. Idiots who don't like this movie,know absolutely nothing about vampire legend,lore,background or movies. Vampires are all about being sexy+lustful. Vampire movies are not about some "bad guy" running around killing people. If you want those kinda flicks,stick to Freddy+Jason. This film was very well done and really it's worst flaw is (like a lot of big studio films) poor casting. Sean Patrick Flannery is a capable actor but completely wrong for this flick. His part should have gone to someone like Jon Cryer,but,Sean's career isn't flourishing like Jon's. If want to see what's basically the original of this film,find Dance of The Damned. (It's a vampire love story anyway) It was later remade into To Sleep With a Vampire with Alyssa Milano+Scott Valentine... now that was a complete waste of film.

*No real action *No entertaining plot *Main actors were good within the confines of a dire scriptSo the lead actress was hot and the lead actor recognisable from his stint as the Young Indiana Jones... just a lot older looking.As far as vampire movies go, this was pretty lame. As far as subtle comedies go, it wasn't good but wasn't as bad. I don't know if it was intended to be comical, but the acting was pretty comical - the lead played a dead-beat down-on-his-luck guy pretty well but all in all this was a dire movie.The plot in theory is a good one but it wasn't especially interesting, was especially predictable and really should have been much shorter. I probably wouldn't get to the end of this movie if it was on TV and certainly wouldn't rent it on DVD or watch it at the movies.
