Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

kosmasp Although this doesn't say that much, coming from a really bad movie. But replacing the lead actress from the first one, was a step in the right direction. This still is soft-core don't get it wrong, but it does have a decent story to hold together the raunchy things going on every 5 minutes or so. Actually it makes you wish, there was more story and less smooching (code for simulated intercourse), but you can't have it all now, can you? Exactly.After the awful first one, I shouldn't have continued watching, but I went ahead. I did fast forward the inappropriate scenes, to get the most out of the story, which is a continuation of the first one. Not great by all means, but made with more effort than the first one and more emphasis on the "story" part.

augustian The second in the Embrace the Darkness trilogy sees Jennifer now played by soft core stalwart Renee Rea, but unfortunately the story is very similar to the first film with a similar vampire couple - good guy but nasty girl. We do however get a proper vampire hunter called Van Helsing so that is a difference.Jennifer (Renee Rea) is slowly coming to terms with her life as one of the undead. She moves into an apartment close to a night club which is owned by Jack (Tristan Coeur D'Alene) and Lizzie (Catalina Larranaga). Jack and Lizzie recognise Jennifer as being new to the vampire existence and so take her under their wing to teach her the ways of the vampire and to hone her power and skills. As in the first film, there is an old flame, Peter (Sean Vossler) who is looking for Jennifer but when his attempts to contact her fail, he teams up with vampire hunter Van Helsing (John Maryland). Meanwhile, Jack has taken a shine to Jennifer, much to the chagrin of Lizzie, who plots her revenge.It is a pity that the writers could not have used a bit more imagination when scripting this story - it is too much like the original. On that score it is marked down but there is more sex and nudity so for that it is marked up. The acting is on a par for this type of film and the women look good with a commendation for Diana Espen for her scenes. 5 stars.

movieman_kev Jennifer (now actress Renee Rea as opposed to Madison Clark of the first one) is now a vampire and moves to LA to be at Gaylen place, the Vamp who turned her. Gaylen being an apropo name for how vampires have been defanged since the vastly overrated Anne Rice. She of course meets other trendy vamps and they all chill at a nightclub. Because we all know vamps and nightclubs go together like Rip Taylor and confetti. Meanwhile the horrible techno-driven theme song plays numerous times. This is a pretty lame soft-core movie, and as a vampire film it sucks, so par for the course there. The dialog seems to be made by those dreary goth clowns that you avoided like the plaque in high school.Eye Candy: Jezebelle Bond, Renee Rea, April Flowers, Catalina Larranaga, and Katie Lohmann show various amounts of skin My Grade: D-Where I saw it: Showtime Beyond

Excalibur36 This movie is exactly what you'd expect after looking at the cover. The leading male constantly switches between a bad English accent to an American accent and sometimes even throws in some bad Irish. Being a vampire movie fan I always enjoy watching them, but this isn't really a vampire movie, it's a soft porn where the 'actors' are trying to accomplish that ever so difficult task of wearing vampire fangs and having sex at the same time.On a more shallow note, the chick who plays Jeniffer is really attractive and if you want to see a hot vampire have a bunch of sex then this is your movie.
