#EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE 2013 MOVIE#
It is a movie that would fit better into Cinemax’s late-night schedule, if those type of movies had better actors and less sex. This Embrace of the Vampire is an enigma. It goes downhill from there, as Charlotte’s friends start getting killed off. After an hour of nothing but struggles on campus, the vampire reveals himself in a cheap twist that makes little sense. The film’s main fault lies in its final act, which chews through plot developments at a reckless pace like it is racing against the clock. Charlotte’s bloodline is special and the unidentified vampire hunting her down needs Charlotte, as a virgin, to give herself willingly to him. Embrace of the Vampire’s confusing mythology is a pastiche of familiar concepts from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other well-known properties. The scene does earn its unrated distinction but is not enough by itself to justify sitting through a tepid vampire story.Ĭharlotte’s blood disorder starts manifesting and a mysterious women with a horrible Eastern European accent promises to tell Charlotte about her heritage. This is primarily the extent of the erotic action in the entire movie, which is an odd direction to take considering the original version had significant salacious content. Drunk and confused, Charlotte is “seduced” by one of her teammates into a quick hook-up. The girls on the fencing team get catty with Charlotte, leading her into rookie hazing for the team. We hardly ever see any actual vampires except in brief flashes. She starts waking up in odd places and begins to lose time. Chris (Ryan Kennedy) is her boss, hitting on her almost from the first moment they meet.Ĭharlotte has strange dreams, either of her being seduced or getting covered in blood. Professor Cole (Victor Webster) does double duty as her teacher and new coach. The men around her are drawn to the young beauty, from her fencing coach to her boss at the coffee shop.
#EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE 2013 FULL#
It never fully embraces its purpose as an erotically-charged film, content to being a third-rate vampire tale that never fully gets off the ground and ends with a whimper.Ĭharlotte Hawthorn (Sharon Hinnendael) is a new freshman at college, going to school on a full scholarship for fencing.
The flimsy vampire story is propped up by some gratuitous nudity and not much else. This very loose remake shares few traits with the original besides both being set in college and including vampires. The original Embrace of the Vampire (1995) was an erotic thriller in the true sense of the term, mostly earning notoriety for Alyssa Milano’s transition from sitcom star to baring it all for films.
