Storyline

A science fiction vampire movie. The Vampire is an emissary from an embattled world near destruction who teleports to Earth to see if they can live here. He finds that our blood is nourishing and that at least one source of it is a steady stream of transfusions. He hypnotizes a Dr. to provide them and has his blond nurse move in to administer them.

17 December 2001 | by (atlanta, ga) – See all my reviews

this is a really fun flick-very funny and sexy and chockablock with busty babes and bad gags. good old fashioned sleazy entertainment! the kind of goofy nudie that cormans cohorts used to make all the time-shameless swiping of other flicks and making sure nekkidness is the norm. including the last time traci lords was nude in a film! also check out ava and becky's cameos. a must see for all pc hating heteros!
