GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

a_baron Vampires may be the living dead, but if you can sit through this one without taking at least three or four breaks you're not living dead, you're brain dead. The theme is far from new: age old vampire seeks his reincarnated virgin. How he becomes a vampire in the first place is silly, then we jump forward a couple of hundred years or so, and we are on a college campus where leading man and bad guy Martin Kemp is pursuing the virginal Alyssa Milano. Kemp is still best known for being one quarter of new romantics Spandau Ballet. He is also not a bad actor, but even Tom Hanks, Marlon Brando, Laurence Olivier and Al Pacino melded together couldn't pull this one off. Rubbish plot and script aside, this is a film that starts off with some pretence to Gothic horror, then decides it wants to become lesbian porn, then simply porn, and finally degenerates into farce as the campus virgin smokes her first cigarette, when suddenly she is not so sweet and pure. There is nothing wrong with using dream or nightmare sequences in a film, but there are ways to indicate this. If a character who has been murdered appears in a later scene, is this person now a vampire, or did the dastardly deed take place only in the damsel's head? That is assuming she was even in that scene. Confused? Who wouldn't be!This has been called a B Movie; in truth there are not enough letters in even the Tamil alphabet to rate this garbage, and it is not so much the embrace of the vampire as his kiss of death.

rroberts-28 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.

slayrrr666 "Embrace of the Vampire" is an enjoyable erotic vampire entry, but a dull horror film.**SPOILERS**About to fall into Eternal Sleep, a lonely Vampire, (Martin Kemp) finds that young college student Charlotte Wells, (Alyssa Milano) is the perfect reincarnation of his lost-love, and vows to win her over. Knowing of her love for fellow student Chris, (Harold Pruitt) he concocts a plan to break them up and allow her to join her by his side. As she begins to feel the effects of his power, controlling her thoughts and making her experience weird dreams and visions, her friends Nicole, (Rachel True) and Eliza, (Jordan Ladd) begin to wonder if it has anything to do with her upbringing more than anything else and try to get her to loosen up. As the time for his plans get closer to realization, he realizes what's been going on all along and races to save her from his deadly grip.The Good News: There wasn't a whole lot to really enjoy with this one. One of the better aspects to this one, though, is the film's abundant sexuality, and the ease of which it plays around with those elements. Being a mainstream release, it doesn't really seem likely to be able to get as much of that as it shows in here, but it's all the more welcome because of being included. The fact that the opening of the movie, which features a non-nude-but-still-erotic sequence only to turn into a foursome orgy with completely nude participants for lengthy scene. It's quite fun to watch, and just about most later scenes featuring this plus are that way as well. That the lead manages to get all of it makes it even better, managing to make due with a fully-exposed undressing scene, several instances where the dress she's wearing at the time blows open and several sex scenes mixed in amongst it all. The best scene, though, is the innocent photo-shoot that soon turns into a pseudo-lesbian encounter that features a lot of it going on, and it's lengthy and quite enjoyable. This is probably the main reason to see this, as these scenes are among one of the main interesting factors among the film. The only other thing it manages to do somewhat right is the continual theme of making the vampire encounters seem like dreams rather than actual visitations, and at times it's hard to tell the difference. There's certainly some, especially the trippy and visually-impressive drug-trip that turns into a vampire-feasting session, but it's still not entirely clear, and that's what makes it so much fun. Some of the other encounters, namely the meeting at the party and a lively part in a schoolroom lecture, are a bit more noteworthy for actually doing something in the course of the film, but it's still not enough to save it beyond all the flesh exposed.The Bad News: There was a lot of flaws to this one. Of the more damaging ones, none are much bigger than the film's incredible dullness. This one doesn't really have much in the way of action, it really doesn't have much energy during it's run and it's pretty hard to stay interested in what's going on. Much of this has to deal with the other factors working against the film, but it's still not all them and still has something to deal with this. One of the other problems that also lends into this one is the fact that there's not a whole lot of fear to be generated from it's vampire lead. The stereotypical pale-faced, whining, romantically-inclined preening vampire, he barely has anything to do with any type of horror actions and comes off as weak, nonthreatening and not really worthwhile. The stereotype allows for more scenes to be of him running around trying to let his plan come to fruition than anything that could be done to make him scary. One huge blunder is, during the opening narration, he voices his plans and pretty much takes the suspense out of what he's trying to do right from the first frame of the film, which is a colossal mistake and one it doesn't really get over. That the plan basically involves him turning a woman into a nympho for his bride, there's not a whole lot of fear than can be derived from the situation, and instead it uses that for the movie's main plus, but it's still something that doesn't generate a lot of horror and makes the film quite hard to fathom as a horror movie. The last big one is the film's criminal lack of blood, or gore, as what little squirts that are seen in here are barely worth having in for what little they provide. Seeing the teeth turn red, only because it's darker than what's around them, and a small smear against a door are all that's in here, making this one quite dry, and along with the dullness and weak vampire lead, constitute this one's flaws.The Final Verdict: With a lot of it's pluses relegated to it's sexuality and not much else, it's really hard to find much who'll like this one. The main one's who'll like it will undoubtedly be those who prefer these more romantic vampire fare or looking for a quick sleaze fix, otherwise heed with extreme caution.Rated R: Full Nudity, several sex scenes, Language and Mild Violence

Son_of_Mansfield Alyssa Milano plays an innocent schoolgirl and a lascivious bad girl, neither very effectively, but she does spend a lot of time without her top on. That is what this movie is really about. It's a shame, because Alyssa could play this part better now. She is seduced by Martin Kemp, who looks like his head is about to be swallowed by his chin, proving that vampires need powers to get women, because they are all pasty, emaciated dweebs. This is an erotic horror movie that is short on both fronts. The only scenes that really come to life are the ones with Charlotte Lewis' lesbian photographer, who tries to flip through Alyssa's negatives. If she had Kemp's role and Jennifer Tilly, who has a small role as, surprisingly, a temptress, had Lewis' role, the movie might have been a little more worthwhile. As is, this is only of interest if you like watching girls play with boys emotions or if the sight of Alyssa Milano's perfect breasts gets you all misty eyed.
