Chris: [Notices Charlotte naked and smiles] Let's just put the knives in your father's back where they belong.
Charlotte: [Putting on a shirt, her right breast and butt are visible] Yeah, that might be more appropriate.
Chris: You know, I can't help wishing you had inherited a little bit of his promiscuity.

I like B movies, but...
29 July 1999 | by (Victoria, BC) – See all my reviews

...I found this quite dull. First, there's barely a story - much of the movie is devoted to sex scenes that stop the story completely, and have no real significance in altering the "evolving" plot.

So if there's a lot of sex, there must be some merit, right? Actually, I found the sex and nude scenes flatly directed - despite the flesh and activity shown, surprisingly a lot of these scenes have nothing erotic to them.

We don't learn a lot about the characters. For instance, why does the vampire character only have a certain time to live? How did he get to where he is in the movie? How did he find the heroine? And so on. None of this is explained. And speaking of the characters, none aroused any sympathy - in fact, all of them seemed annoying.

And though the movie is supposed to be about vampires, there's hardly any vampire action!

Yes, You-Know-Who gets naked enough, but that's not enough to save this movie, or even make it worth fast-forwarding.
