Embrace of the Vampire (2013)

Very disappointing...

Expected more

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Have you seen it? No? There is likely a very good reason for that...it stinks.Like nearly ALL the endless remakes and reboots that have been plaguing movie goers for the past decade or so....all this is, is a heartless version of the original.It has no heart.It has no soul.It is a retelling of a film that we all love and cherish...and it adds nothing to the story. It improves nothing but the special effects--which held up very well over time--and in some cases belittles the fans of the original...particularly in the fact that they remade the movie at all, without adding anything clever to it.Like so many other remakes it is a hallow shell of the original.

A straight-to-video Canadian vampire film, set in a high school, with its main character a former Catholic schoolgirl who finds herself venturing down some very dark alleyways as she becomes drawn to some characters who may or may not be bloodsuckers. EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE is the remake of a 1990s film starring Martin Kemp that I haven't watched, and suffice to say it's almost entirely worthless as a movie.Vampire films are so ubiquitous these days (much like zombie movies) that they have to be really special to stand out. Unsurprisingly this isn't special at all, and instead it's content to play out all the usual vampire clichés alongside sappy love scenes and some poor CGI vampire effects. The uncut version of this movie is by all accounts chock full of nudity and sleaze, but the version I watched was the cable export in which all the nudity has been censored. Not that ample nudity would save this silly softcore attempt to frighten audiences with its bad acting and overwhelming clichés.

This movie was awful basically an excuse to see small breasted white women topless. There was an added lesbian scene to spice things up that's why IO gave the movie at least a two but she didn't remember she was with the girl, then she almost loses her virginity in the woods no less but the vampire spoils that. Then she goes over to the vampires house after he slaughters all her friends and they proceed to make out and she stabs him then he bites her she opens the curtains he burst into flames then she just lays there gushing blood end of story. This movie was a flipping waste of money. Again just an excuse to see a bunch of small breasted white women topless just watch porn.

Well honestly there is nothing very special in Embrace of the Vampire and it wont make a difference if you skip it....The movie is not scary or thrilling and the climax is quit predictable as well. If you are expecting a little bit of action then you are in for a disappointment. As far as the acting is concerned, its not bad at all..... Sharon Hinnendael who plays the lead as Charlotte has done a fine job (though sometimes she does try to act like Kristen Stewart in Twilight...lolz), the other cast has done a good job as well, I wont say great but good.... The girls in the movie including Sharon show quite a bit of skin so that keeps it a bit interesting ha ha. The plot is simple, an Orphan girl goes to a top grade University for higher studies on scholarship, conveniently the university campus is in a beautiful hilly location, where an innocent Vampire just happens to be waiting for her for past 500 years or so...gah... If you are watching this movie for the story, thrill, suspense or horror element then you will be disappointed. However, if you feel like killing your time or like me you are a fan of vampire movies you might find it watchable.Overall nothing very special..... but I don't think anyone would get bored while watching it, for me this movie is a 4 out of 10.
