While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

To Sleep with a Vampire is an early 90's vampire movie (Of which there were many around that time) that honestly looks dated and within quarter of an hour I already had concerns.It tells the story of a deeply confused vampire who kidnaps a young stripper. He intends to kill her by morning but before that wants her to explain to him about life and all the things he's missing due to being a member of the undead.Labelled a romantic horror I can confidently say the romance is very poorly handled and honestly should be dismissed altogether. This is to romance what John Wick (2014) is to intelligent cinema.It does have it's moments to it's credit and though our lead male is as intimidating as Pee Wee Herman our lead female is fantastic and I'm shocked she didn't have a considerably better career.A passable affair for lovers of vampire cinema and cheesy 90's b-movies.The Good:Interesting premise for the most partCharlie Spradling The Bad:Feels datedPlot ultimately is pretty dumbThings I Learnt From This Movie:I have never introduced myself to a milkshakeVampires cannot transform into bats, wolves or mist they can however turn into badly cgi made lightbulbs

Folks, this dog makes Twilight look like Wuthering Heights! The low (one might say picayune) budget is a handicap, but one that better plotting and scripting, plus some actual suspense or more convincing action might have overcome. That did not happen. Lead actress Charlie Spradling is surprisingly charismatic as an exotic dancer with a dark side, but Scott Valentine lacks the depth of personality to be convincing as a Lord of the Undead. He can't manage to look menacing, or predatory, or even really all that hungry. He's Vamp Lite, the vampire with not much substance. Anyway, he picks her up at the bar she works in and they, um, hang out until dawn. Nothing much happens, no great insights are revealed about the world of vamps (or humanity for that matter), and the ending when it comes is a yawner. This one strictly for viewers who want to see B-movie veteran Spradling topless. Otherwise avoid.

This movie is a remake of the movie "Dance of the Damned," which came out a mere 5 years prior, only this one is available on DVD. Both movies are about a vampire who is hiding his desire (not very well, mind you) to be human (to feel the sun, to be close to others, to end his hunger for blood), who must feed tonight. He chooses an at-the-end-of-her-rope stripper as his teacher/meal, due to a dark, suicidal quality he senses in her soul. She thus is able to act as a "bridge" between his world and that of a normal human, while discovering she has a lot more to live for than she thought. Overall, this is a good movie. One can tell the acting is quite scripted at times, but the overall theme doesn't suffer for it. *** out of ****

to be honest this movie wasn't that bad. for a low budget movie it was a better movie than Roger's Corman's Club Vampire that was terrible. but sleeping with a Vampire wasn't that bad true the acting could have been better an the special effects could have too. as well as the story and they should have put more into the story than they did. but all in all it's better than some Corman's movie's he's done
