Mjeteconer Just perfect...

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

gwnightscream Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, Karen Kopins and Cleavon Little star in this 1985 horror comedy. This begins with a vampire countess (Hutton) sending her vampires to seek virgin blood before Halloween so she can retain her youthful beauty. Carrey (The Mask) plays California teen virgin, Mark Kendall who wants to have sex with his girlfriend, Robin Pierce (Kopins) who isn't quite ready and he becomes frustrated. After he decides to go with his pals, Russ (Skip Lackey) and Jamie (Thomas Ballatore) to meet girls, he becomes desired by the Countess. Mark gets bitten by her and his behavior changes. Robin, Russ and Jamie learn what's happening to him and try to save him from becoming a vampire. The late, Little (Blazing Saddles) plays flamboyant vampire, Sebastian who works for The Countess. Though it has a bit of corny moments, this isn't a bad 80's vampire/horror comedy with a good cast & score I recommend.

zardoz-13 Superstar comedian Jim Carrey probably wishes this 1985 movie would quietly vanish in the sunlight. "Once Bitten" pairs the "Ace Ventura" star with the 400 year old Countess (sexy Lauren Hutton of "Gator") who is seeking a virgin to maintain her vampire immortality. More than anything else in the world, Mark Kendall (Jim Carrey) wants to get laid. The late Roger Ebert would probably have classified this disposable comedy as a horny teenager movie. Since Mark attends high school then this would be a correct classification. Before he runs into the delectable Countess at a speed dial dating bar in Hollywood, Mark struggles to get his high school sweetheart, Robin Pearce (Karen Kopins of "Creator"), to spread them and grin. She is deeply in love with her boyfriend Mark and prefers their dual deflowering to be a special occasion. The Countess employs a gay butler, Sebastian (Cleavon Little of "Blazing Saddles"), who tries to keep her as well as all the other former lovers in her house, on the straight-and-narrow. Meantime, Mark and his two pals, Jamie (Thomas Ballatore of "Detenator") and Russ (Skip Lackey of "Mindbenders"), hang tight with him as he tries to get his ashes hauled. Eventually, our heroine visits an old book store and learns female vampires like to sink their fangs in the spot closest to the genitalia. Robin ask Jamie and Russ to see if Mark has bite marks on his upper thigh. The guys try to do this in the gym shower and botch things so badly that somebody yells "Fags in the shower" and everybody panics. The nude scenes are as chaste as you can imagine. Nothing reproductive is shown except for the bottom curves of buttocks. Our heroine Robin uses the F-word once. After Robin begins to take Mark seriously, she decides to end the affair that Mark is having against his will with the Countess by having sex with him. They wind up using an available coffin as the vampires pursue them through the Countess's abode. This cute but disposable comedy is okay for one viewing. Director Howard Storm keeps things light and breezy; he has confined is directorial talents largely with television situation comedies. Scenarist Dimitri Villard wrote one other movie, director Richard Attenborough's "In Love and War," while co-scenarist David Hines penned the screenplay for "BachelorMan."

WakenPayne The Countess has a problem. She is a 400 year old vampire who will cease to look young unless she is able to feed on a virgin three times before Holloween, a week away. She sends Sebastian, her servant and all of her lesser vampires out to find one. Finding a virgin is difficult in Los Angeles. Mark has a problem. He wants to 'do it' with Robin in the worst way, but she wants to wait. Jamie and Russ, Mark's goofy friends convince him to go to a Hollywood pick up spot where Mark meets the Countess, on the prowl. Robin's not going to understand. This Is Early Jim Carrey At His Best. The Funniest Part To Me Is The Shower Scene Could That Go More Wrong. 4.9 Is Severely Underrating It. The Other Part That Was Funny Was The...How To Put This Simple...The Hopping Coffin...That Sounds Worse Than What It Was. Jim Carrey Was Hysterical Even In 1985. To Me This Is A Comedy That Was Ahead Of Its Time.

Aaron1375 About the most interesting thing one can say about this movie is that it is a very early movie in the career of Jim Carrey. Other than that there is really nothing all that special about this movie which is not all that bad, just not all that good. The funniest scene in the entire movie for me focused more on the guys playing Jim Carrey's buddies in a very funny shower scene. Other than that most of the jokes are typical and you also have a dance scene that is very painful to watch. The story has an old vampire lady who must feast upon the blood of a virgin to keep her youthful appearance. Apparently, this is a very hard task to do in California (actually I am betting it is very easy, but they are probably saying it is hard as some sort of joke about the sexual promiscuity of those who live in the state). Well the vampires underlings find Jim and figure they have hit the jackpot so goes his slow transition to being a vampire. Like I said I liked some stuff in the movie, other parts I did not care for all that much. The friend's scene hilarious, but most of the jokes only garner a slight chuckle at best. Thankfully Jim Carrey was not based on the merits of this movie alone because he is not even the strongest actor in it. Worth a look, but not worth to many looks afterwards.
