Twilight Vamps

Twilight Vamps/Lust at First Bite is a typical Retromedia softcore, with a mostly familiar cast and decent production values for the genre. Out of the four Retromedia movies of the year it came out in, I think it was the weakest, but still quite good.

The storyline involving Beverly Lynne didn't seem to go anywhere at all other than as a slight gag. This isn't a big deal considering nobody watches this type of movie for the plot, but generally this production company tends to have more coherent story lines so it felt a little odd.

It was great to see Christine Nguyen in a villain role for a change, her hateful little laugh was the perfect mix of adorable, sexy, and evil. Once again I think her scene with Frankie Cullen stole the show, but her scene with Tony Marino was good as well.

Brandin Rackley is, hands down, the best actress in these movies currently. She may get a little goofy sometimes with the accents, but she actually has a significant range. Also, I normally tend to like the much bustier girls, and while there weren't any really big chested ones in this movie, Brandin was filling out her bustier exceptionally well.

Beverly Lynne's role seemed a little random and extraneous, but she did a fine job with it.

Frankie Cullen had several quite funny lines, especially towards the end, and Tony Marino's wobblers line was pretty funny as well. I especially liked the expired holy water bit.

As usual, the hardcore girls were more throwaway eye candy than anything. There are a couple of hardcore girls that can act very well, but the ones this time didn't have enough of a role to really show if they could or not.

After realizing his wife is cheating on him, a man's attempts at solace find him in a nightclub populated by vampires luring unsuspecting victims like himself, and must stop them before they continue their rampage.

As far as erotic horror films go, this one isn't too terrible and really has a lot of key elements going for it. The fact that there's a wide range of acts being performed, from strip-teases to solo scenes, lesbian encounters and even a three-way late in the movie, it really provides the skin quotient needed in these types of movies and does them really well, as a lesbian shower sequence and the three-way stand out quite effectively. Plus, with a super-simplistic story-line designed to give that exact same effect, it doesn't help either in generating this type of story and manages to essentially keep the sleaze front and center while also attempting something close to a coherent, feasible movie which is to be commended, even though several factors like the cheating wife and the investigation into her activities are nothing more than fodder for such actions and aren't that believable. Overall, it's got enough going for it that it's quite enjoyable as one of these kinds of films, even though it really only works as a horror film for the last few minutes and it's not that good at it when it gets there, but for those that enjoy the skin-favored efforts it's certainly worthwhile.
