The Insatiable

It's a B movie, so low-production value, some of the direction could have use a bit more transition scene to make the movie more fluid and the space more real but...

The characters development, which is central to the movie, is excellent and keeps you hooked in. The scenes between the two main characters are strong: they are supported by dialogues that are simple but effective and both actors doing a fine job.

I watched "Wanted", with Angelina Jolie, and "Insatiable" the same evening: the next day, "Insatiable" made a stronger impression on me.

Whoever made this movie deserves a bigger budget.

I LOVED it! It is indeed what I would call a B Movie and truly almost a Black Comedy. Those are my favorites. There used to be a plethora of them in the 50's and 60's. This one is modern and fits the empty hole perfectly. It almost reminded me of Little Shop of horrors. The acting was not bad and filmography was a lot better than most. I watched 2 Vampire movies in the last couple of days, RISE with Lucy Liu and this one, Insatiable. Although they were quite different and RISE was obviously big buck, my entertainment factor was MUCH better with Insatiable. RISE was OK, and I do love Lucy Liu, and the movie was worth watching, but, again, I did get more enjoyment with this one. I hope they make more like this.

This looked like one of those movies that would either be really good or really bad. Odds usually are in favor of really bad. This one surprised me by turning out "pretty good". Not terrible. Not great. The acting was good and the writing was good and I was happily surprised to see it wasn't one of those annoying erotic vampire stories with tons of nudity and Gothic crap but no plot. Rather it was a Clerks-style comedy with a vampire drama underneath. On the other hand, I thought it was a bit slow-moving. But overall it was worth my time. I was expecting it would be one of the rentals I'd regret, a high-risk gamble gone wrong... but it was probably the best of the movies I rented for that night (of course that isn't saying much).

A homeless asks for food to the lonely Harry Balbo (Sean Patrick Flanery) while he is walking back home from his work at the American Flange company. Harry goes to a convenience store to buy a hot-dog for the beggar, but when he returns to the alley, he witnesses a sexy vampire attacking and beheading the man.

Harry becomes obsessed by the vampire and he contacts the vampire hunter Strickland (Michael Biehn) to help him to capture the gorgeous vampire. Harry builds a steel cage in the basement of his building and he succeeds in trapping the vampire in the cell. Harry falls in love with the vampire Tatiana (Charlotte Ayanna) and he tries to force her to drink rabbit blood instead of human blood. But Tatiana is insatiable for blood and sex and usually kills her lovers.

"The Insatiable" is an original vampire movie of extremely low-budget that works. The plot combines horror, drama, romance and comedy in right doses and the result is a film that worth watching. The unknown Charlotte Ayanna is really a very pretty woman and it is easy to understand why the solitary Harry falls in love with her. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Insaciável Sede de Sangue" ("Insatiable Blood Thirst")

I must admit, when I first saw the description for this movie I thought it was going to be awful. Im glad I watched it anyway.

The creators of this film took a tired, cheesy plot and magically turned it into quality entertainment.

Keep in mind this is a rather low budget film with mostly unheard of actors, and despite all of this the film was quite enjoyable.

This isn't a horror film, or a comedy, or a romance, or a drama, or a thriller...its more a tasteful combination of all of these.

The plot develops slowly with perfect timing keeping you interested and tagging along with the main character throughout the film.

The originality and unpredictability I think are the qualities that stand out most with this film.

I may have given it a better rating if it weren't for the glaring over-acting by Jon Huertas (Javier) which was a severe distraction.

Over all though I would have to give my approval on this film (which is rare, as I am picky). I would recommend this film to anyone.
