Featured reviews
Was expecting a Skinemax style mindless soft-core kinda movie, but this one exceeded my expectations. As a B-movie enthusiast, I watch a lot of terrible movies for fun. The plot, while not terribly original, was different enough from the usual vampire fare to keep me interested. For most of the first two thirds, there was enough going on to keep the ending from being too predictable, but after the reveal the resolution was pretty standard and a little disappointing. The acting wasn't anything special, but managed not to detract from the movie.
Overall, this was much better than I was expecting. As a bonus,there was plenty of eye candy and a very nice lesbian scene. In my opinion, this one was actually better than the original.

Simply put: Less T&A and more Stefan. Victor Webster plays a fang-tactic vamp, but I wish he was in the story more. It would've been nice to see him shirtless to make up for the T&A heavy movie.
This remake is not quite as erotic as the original. It's actually borderline softcore porn at times. If I recall the original, there were plenty of dream sequences between Alyssa Milano and Martin Kemp, which helped build anticipation. This film, on the contrary, didn't build that anticipation enough. There was hardly any chemistry between Stefan and Charlotte. Also, Charlotte's constant delusions and/or flashbacks took too much time from the movie.
The scenery, although beautiful, seems heavily influenced by the Twilight films -- rain, dense forests and mountains minus a pack of wolves.
It's a decent effort compared to many recent vampire flicks( Kiss of the Damned might be the best one released in the last decade). Victor Webster made this film enjoyable, but barely.

Good movie to watch for especially the vampire movies are such a stupidity but this one is little better than others.
No pun intended - this is me trying to connect this to the 90s movie with the same title. But there are not that many connections to be made. I reckon the central part of the story is similar. But there are many differences too. Not sure if that is sufficient to not call this a remake. A reimagination then? Well you decide that.
There is again a lot of nudity and some blood that is shed. Particularly one lesbian scene, that contains both is quite intriguing. But it is also one of the few highlights the movie contains. There is not that much to get you too excited (no pun intended here either). Beautiful people, though I doubt many if any of them will ever become as famous or known as some of the stars of the "original" movie.
There is not much to say here, other than it looks good (visually, and again no pun intended), but lacks some substance. The key romantic love story is missing from the original, but as I said, this tries to spin something new with some of the perimeters it got from the other movie. Not sure if there is a novel they are based on (wouldn't surprise me), so can't make any comparisons if there is. It also seems inclined to use some of the vampire mythology that the other movie did not even look at ... for better or worse.

There isn't anything special here. It's a bit of T&A inside a weak vampire story. Charlotte Hawthorn (Sharon Hinnendael) is a shy new girl in college with a dark mysterious past. She is on scholarship from fencing. Only she's having hellish visions and waking up in strange places.
Hinnendael is an OK actress, and not much is asked of her. Her character is shy, speaks softly, and shows off her body. She can walk and talk. But she's not doing Shakespeare here. Her roommate Nicole (Kaniehtiio Horn) has a bit more spark. And Victor Webster plays that hot intense teacher. Keegan Connor Tracy plays a witchy mysterious woman. The acting is OK. The story is simple. The big missing ingredient is a sense of style, and a menacing atmosphere. For a horror movie, that's a big deal. This is a better-than-most B-movie.
