To Sleep with a Vampire (1993)

Sorry, this movie sucks

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Best movie ever!

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

To sleep with a vampire. *****Warning Spoilers***** God what an awful movie this is. I know Charlie never gonna get an Oscar part but this was juts down right boring Scott valentine can't act (he never could) He basically walk around in the room, a lot of the movie take part in a one room apartment) being all moody. The script doesn't make much sense either. He picks up a depressed stripper cause he can feel she got a death wish. She comes with him back to he's apartment ( "Cause deep down, all strippers love to date their customers right") Than he tells her, that she will tell him all about what its like being out in the daylight, and that he's gonna kill her afterwards when the daylight comes at six (only problem is: you can see daylight seeping trough the boarded up windows, the whole time they are in the apartment. some scenes it even shines him right in the face, and he don't react) As she point out her self if you wanna know about being out in the daylight, why kidnap someone who works at night There is no on screen chemistry between the actors. If it wasn't cause you know both are actors you would think they had picked two strangers right of the streetOh did I forget the cheese lines? "I can't stop the sound of your heartbeat; I can hear the blood in your veins" Seriously who, comes up with this garbage? The pathetic dialog is so bad it makes you cringe, and for a vampire movie it moves to slow paced I know all actors gotta make a living somehow, but this gotta be Charlie's worst gig up till now, It's even worse than Meridan. Scott Valentine's performance makes David Boreanaz; Angel looks Oscar worthy. Even James Marsters does a better performance as a vampire, and he had to bleach he's hair and speak with a British accent.

Folks, this dog makes Twilight look like Wuthering Heights! The low (one might say picayune) budget is a handicap, but one that better plotting and scripting, plus some actual suspense or more convincing action might have overcome. That did not happen. Lead actress Charlie Spradling is surprisingly charismatic as an exotic dancer with a dark side, but Scott Valentine lacks the depth of personality to be convincing as a Lord of the Undead. He can't manage to look menacing, or predatory, or even really all that hungry. He's Vamp Lite, the vampire with not much substance. Anyway, he picks her up at the bar she works in and they, um, hang out until dawn. Nothing much happens, no great insights are revealed about the world of vamps (or humanity for that matter), and the ending when it comes is a yawner. This one strictly for viewers who want to see B-movie veteran Spradling topless. Otherwise avoid.

This film provides an intelligent and entertaining twist to the vampire genre. Even the low-budget constraints (e.g., the strip club scenes) seem fresh. They serve the story without losing their intrinsic prurient interest. There are, to quote my buddy Carl, some "way cool action scenes where the vampire dude beats the crap outta these other dudes." Combined with the scenes in the vampire's lair, the power of the vampire is revealed with a verisimilitude that makes it easy to suspend disbelief. From start to finish, this vampire film sucks you in.

to be honest this movie wasn't that bad. for a low budget movie it was a better movie than Roger's Corman's Club Vampire that was terrible. but sleeping with a Vampire wasn't that bad true the acting could have been better an the special effects could have too. as well as the story and they should have put more into the story than they did. but all in all it's better than some Corman's movie's he's done
