Theresa & Allison

I saw this movie only because I was watching a horror movie on Amazon and got busy and this one started up next. It is the story of a young woman named Theresa that gets quite drunk one night and falls victim to a female vampire. The vampire gets drunk, yes drunk, from the alcohol in Theresa's blood and ends up turning her so she does not die. Theresa ends up struggling with being a once pacifist to now having to take lives for sustenance. Enter Allison, a woman born in the seventies and turned when she was 20 something, who tries to educate Theresa.

OK, first of all, Allison kept saying that she would be an old grandma in a nursing home instead of young and beautiful has she not been turned. Both of these statements are factually incorrect. Being in your 40s does not relegate someone to a nursing home, clearly whoever wrote this was terrible at math. Also, the actress playing Allison was not what I would call beautiful, but that is of course in the eye of the beholder.

All of the interactions between Theresa and the other vampires she encounters seem forced, not organic. There was absolutely no reason for Allison to seek her out, nor was there any reason for Allison's ex-boyfriend to also seek Theresa out. There is also a lot of pro gay/lesbian thematic elements here and the movie treats straight men like they are monsters that do not care who the woman is, they automatically want to sleep with them.

The writing was terrible and the acting was not much better, especially from the supporting cast. Anyone rating this film higher than a 5 must be associated with the movie or a friend of someone that was. Do not believe them. If you are looking for a good erotic horror, this is not it. If you are looking for a movie with plenty of nudity then this is that film, but do not expect it to be very arousing as even the sex scenes were shot without any artistic lens or believably.

Just couldn't get into this. Interesting premise and yet another new take on the vampire genre (see Byzantium which is far superior albeit on a much bigger budget) but ultimately badly acted by supporting cast (the characters of Paisley, Tony and the Russian mother were at best wooden). Some interesting ideas though around government complicity, family and survival. Ultimately undone by the supporting cast.

In this new film from Jeremiah Kipp he shows us that there are still people who know how to make erotic gothic romance. Arielle and Sarah do an amazing job acting and delivering very emotional, sexy, and gripping performances as the two lead actresses. Reminiscent of an old Jean Rollin film we are introduced to these erotic ladies of the night in a modern setting, which makes for a unique tale. Even though we're in the city, Kipp manages to keep this dark and monotone feeling while you're watching these actresses show their vampiric prowess. Filled with emotional performances, realistic acting, gratuitous and very sexy lovely naked ladies. Kipp has managed to breathe a little life into the drab and dismal films coming out of Hollywood.

I can't tell you how much a breathe of fresh air this film was. Hardly anybody makes decent erotic films anymore. So hopefully Jeremiah Kipp is taking a page from Domiziano Cristopharo and bringing a little bit of European cinema to the States. If you like erotic romance, if you like blood-covered naked bodies, then definitely find a copy of this film and watch it. Kudos to Kipp, may he not get distracted by the bright lights of the industry, keep his head focused on this type of film, he's very good at it.

I watched this because it had a 7.7 IMDB score on Amazon Prime. But obviously, it is just the average score, sample size also matters! How could I know that the 63 people who voted were probably cast's close friends and family!

2 hours of my life wasted. Don't make the same mistake. This is a pointless very boring low-cost production.

I had no idea this was a vampire movie. It has been a long time since I have seen a good vampire movie (2o years +) but this was pretty good. Acting was great and the story line kept me intrigued the whole time
