Alicia I love this movie so much

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

M MALIK This film is another proof that remakes and reboots are never good for any franchise or even a single solo film that was released decades ago look at James Bond 007 series a fine example of how to kill something great a sequel is always appreciated but this is not the case with this film embrace of the vampire 2013 this film is lousy remake of a great project came out in 1995 starting Alyssa Milano.The acting is extremely annoying even kids do better then this all the hot ladies got wasted here even the lead actress Sharon Hinnendael does give her best but wrong story with awful direction ruined everything here.The concept of the original 1995 film & this one shares similarities but this one is entirely different in many ways the viewer is taken for granted here this is the slowest film for its genre have these people ever heard the word pace i guess not Carl Bessai maybe a good director but looks like he got confused here on how to execute this entire thing properly.The Plot:Charlotte comes to a university but soon bizarre things start to happen around her the evil force corrupts Charlotte she gets visions & more often when she is near professor Cole.The ending is laughable,cheesy & crazy at the same time aping other famous horror titles if anyone is looking at the poster thinking there might be some intimate scenes here they will be disappointed as there is one lesbian scene here which is shot badly not even a single good straight scene here.Just who allowed these people to ruin 90s epic that's right i am saying it anything that is from 90s is classic compared with todays nonsense,if this was so good it would have gone theatrical but it came direct to DVD it is just missing Steven Seagal or Dolph Lundgren.Overall do not waste your time with this boring dull remake & watch the original instead my rating for embrace of the vampire 2013 is 2/10:skipp it

TdSmth5 In the 1700s in Eastern Europe a woman arrives at a house where a screaming girl is being held on a table. The woman cuts the girl's arm, pronounces some spell and drips some blood from a vial in the girl's wound. She then places a necklace on her in time when a female vampire attacks and bites a man who's also in the house to protect the girl.In the present, Charlotte arrives at college. She's very shy, reserved, downright repressed. She's there on a fencing scholarship and has to perform or else she's out. Her parents are dead. She inherited a blood disorder that killed her mom and also has creepy visions. Her roommate is nice to her, but her friend hates Charlotte, who starts working at a coffee shop where the owner develops feelings for her. Some type of psychic also notices Charlotte. And a creepy administrator also takes an interest in her.Charlotte is taking a literature class that is dealing with mythology-- monsters and the like. The male professor for some reason is also the coach for the female fencing team. While Charlotte tries to stay out of trouble one night she's taken out for the fencing team rookie hazing, where she's made to drink. She's never had alcohol before. That night she also sleeps with another girl. Now her life goes into chaos. She can't fence right, her visions intensify and become more terrifying, she rejects the help from her friends. When she finally visits the psychic lady, things are revealed to her. She's from a line of vampire hunters, as was the girl on the table in the intro. The lady on the other hand is a descendant from the woman who was treating the girl. Charlotte even inherited the necklace from the intro. And it's burning into her skin which means a vampire is near. Charlotte will have to accept her destiny and face the vampire, a vampire who seeks to become human if he only can get ahold of a virgin--like Charlotte.Embrace of the Vampire has an attractive cast that shows plenty of skin. The location of the college is stunning. The direction is excellent. The story perhaps could have used some work. But at the same time it's not predictable. It's not the usual simplistic evil vampire against some innocent victims story until some hero appears. For a while the story just focuses on on Charlotte and sets the vampire aspect aside, so we could have used some more vampire action. The ending is sudden and strange. But it sets up things for a sequel which I'm looking forward to.

zuri1 This is the best movie I have ever seen. Even better than Spring Breakers. It's remarkable.It belongs in its own category right next to the category that contains McCabe and Mrs. Miller.Look at that scenery. Look at that school. Look at those vampires. Wow.I am more excited about this film than I was after seeing There Will Be Blood. This film will be watched and talked about for a long time.If Flaubert were around, he would shout at the top of his lungs: 'This film made me cry.' And he would write an alternate version of Un Coeur Simple, set in 2013 at Quest University Canada.

bunty18 Well honestly there is nothing very special in Embrace of the Vampire and it wont make a difference if you skip it....The movie is not scary or thrilling and the climax is quit predictable as well. If you are expecting a little bit of action then you are in for a disappointment. As far as the acting is concerned, its not bad at all..... Sharon Hinnendael who plays the lead as Charlotte has done a fine job (though sometimes she does try to act like Kristen Stewart in Twilight...lolz), the other cast has done a good job as well, I wont say great but good.... The girls in the movie including Sharon show quite a bit of skin so that keeps it a bit interesting ha ha. The plot is simple, an Orphan girl goes to a top grade University for higher studies on scholarship, conveniently the university campus is in a beautiful hilly location, where an innocent Vampire just happens to be waiting for her for past 500 years or so...gah... If you are watching this movie for the story, thrill, suspense or horror element then you will be disappointed. However, if you feel like killing your time or like me you are a fan of vampire movies you might find it watchable.Overall nothing very special..... but I don't think anyone would get bored while watching it, for me this movie is a 4 out of 10.
