The best way to
describe this is Jess Franco on steroids. It is a vampire hard core,
replete with atmosphere, gore, naked women, hot sex, digital effects,
make-up effects and a plot that you may even care about. The film
opens with Ginger Paige picking up a guy in a disco, screwing him to
exhaustion in a restroom stall, then calmly biting his throat for
dessert. As she leaves, she is chastised by head vampire Sydnee Steele
for going out on her own. Sydnee then enjoys a passing motorist. Jewel
de Nyle sees the toothy finale to the car sex, and reports what she
saw to a police officer, then goes home. Sydnee joins her in her
sleep, and initiates her into the group, but she is not thrilled to be
dead, and is not enamored of the lifestyle. None of this stops her
from hot sex with Sydnee, the cop, and a morgue attendant. There is
also a sex scene with two virgins, April and McKayla, but I was unable
to discover which was which.
I am not excited as much because this is a vampire movie with a lot of
exposure as I am that someone has discovered how to make a profit from
a high production value hard core with serious plot content. (Cut the
sex, and the film is still over 60 minutes). This means that we could
possibly see hard core:
-
Teen Slasher
-
Biker
-
Coming of Age
-
Teensploitation
-
Blacksploitation
-
Women in Prison
and a host of other genres.

Wouldn't you love to see the Annette
Funicello character shrieking in orgasm in the Malibu surf? I applaud
director Nic Andrews and Digital Sin DVD for reviving the quality
adult film. Oh, and get this. The DVD release is a special edition,
complete with two commentary tracks (one of which has an insert of
those commenting on the angle track), and the entire script -- yes,
this had enough plot to require a real script. Commentary one is
director/cast, and track 2 is director/crew. |

IMDb
guideline: 7.5 usually indicates a level of
excellence, about like three and a half stars
from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm
watchability, about like two and a half stars
from the critics. The fives are generally not
worthwhile unless they are really your kind of
material, about like two stars from the critics.
Films under five are generally awful even if you
like that kind of film, equivalent to about one
and a half stars from the critics or less,
depending on just how far below five the rating
is. My own
guideline: A means the movie is so good it
will appeal to you even if you hate the genre. B means the movie is not
good enough to win you over if you hate the
genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an
open mind about this type of film. C means it will only
appeal to genre addicts, and has no crossover
appeal. D means you'll hate it even if you
like the genre. E means that you'll hate it even if
you love the genre. F means that the film is not only
unappealing across-the-board, but technically
inept as well.
Based on this
description, this film is a C+. There is also a second DVD of
special features including image galleries, out-takes, bloopers
and making of features. the highest grade for a hard core is C+,
but I would really like to award more.
