What makes it different from others?

Very disappointed :(

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Director Stephanie Rothman also co-wrote this present-day vampire tale with a female bloodsucker named Diane LeFanu putting the moves on her two guests, a bickering couple whose car broke down just outside of Diane's estate in the desert. Although the picture garnered some good reviews, New World and Roger Corman failed to promote it and the movie died a drive-in theater death. The touches of humor are certainly welcomed and the locale is interesting--as is the vampire-in-the-daylight scenario--but the characters merit little interest, even with the flashes of eroticism. * from ****

This story begins with "Lee Ritter" (Michael Blodgett) and his wife "Susan" (Sherry E. DeBoer) meeting a woman named "Diane LeFanu" (Celeste Yarnall) at a nightclub and then accept her invitation to visit her house in the desert over the weekend. When they get there Susan becomes somewhat jealous of Diane due to Lee's increasing attraction to her. Yet the longer they stay the more reluctant Susan becomes to leave. Likewise, even though both of them are having strange dreams and observe strange events neither of them are able (or perhaps willing) to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this film resembled a late-60's, low-budget, counter-culture movie at times which, when combined with the poor acting on the part of Sherry E. DeBoer, caused the movie to seem really cheap and trashy. Additionally, the film also had an uneven quality to it as well. In any case, I rate the film as below average and recommend it only to those who enjoy movies of this type from this particular era.

The Velvet Vampire really could have been a good film; the plot is there, but the execution is really bad and serves only in making the film really boring for most of the duration. Things pick up a little for the final twenty minutes; but by then it's far too late. The film focuses on a young couple, Lee and Susan, who meet an older woman named Diane and agree to spend a few days with her at her place. However, Diane turns out to be more than what she initially seems when she at first tries to start an affair with both people; and eventually reveals herself as a vampire. The film really features very little vampire action, and it's a travesty that the word was featured in the title. The main bulk of the film concerns the interaction between the three central characters, and we end up with a sort of love triangle; although this is very dull indeed and most of it feels like padding - in particular the supposed-to-be trippy dream sequences that go nowhere. As previously mentioned, things do pick up a little in the final third when it is finally revealed that Diane is a vampire and what follows is really rather good; but not good enough to save the entire film. The Velvet Vampire is a rare film, and I'm confident that it will stay that way as there's no good reason to track this one down.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*I bought this one from Blockbuster for three bucks. So this groovy couple head out into the desert to hang out with a hot vampire woman. She's the kind of vampire who walks around in broad daylight. And lives in the scorching desert. Yeeeaahh. It's that kind of vampire flick. So the couple takes dune buggy tours and has far out relationship issues while vampire lady decides who to seduce first.This is a typically 70's, cheap-o, female vampire flick. The good news is that both women in this movie get topless. The best news is that the lead vampire lady, (Celeste Yarnall), is a hot bloodsucker. She has some very glossy sex with the guy. The bad news is that this movie is lame. There is nothing scary or interesting about this movie. The only thing worth seeing is Yarnall in all her vampire glory. You'll also get a cheap laugh watching her drive around in her yellow dune buggy. Speaking of cheap, they must have filmed this sucker in a week. They found a house in the desert and decided it would be perfect for a vampire movie. How they came to that conclusion is unknown.Unless you're dying to see Celeste Yarnall naked, I would say skip this one.
