I actually liked this movie. The sets were sumptuous and the lighting marvellous. I also loved the score. There were passages in some of the pieces that absolutely transported me. The premise of the movie is interesting, albeit a bit far-fetched. But I think it was intended to have the element of fantsy in it. It is however, based on a true story (scary). I thought some of the acting was a bit campy. However, Caroline Neron played Elizabeth Kane to perfection. I enjoyed the duplicity in her nature (Elizabeth's since I do not know Ms. Neron and could not comment on her nature). She could be generous and yet uncompromising, gentle and aggressive. Her cunning, her capacity to seduce, her extreme dexterity to manipulate and lie, her immense charm and beauty and her capacity to instill fear were palpable. She instills fear because you have a sense that she is willing to do ANYTHING to get what she wants. In my own life, I once met a sociopath, a woman who had all of these characteristics and she scared the hell out of me and at the same time totally fascinated me. Ms. Neron brought that person to life for me in the person of Elizabeth Kane. She did a more than exceptional job in my opinion. Bravo!!! The only problem is that some of the other acting did not match her level of intensity and left me flat. In concluding, I would say that I very much enjoyed this movie, mostly because of the capacity of Ms. Neron but almost equally for the sets, the music and the lighting.Read full review
This is a fine film, made in Canada but with an international flair. The film is has modern setting, but has an odd quirk of 50's-60's-70's cars. If you are an Erzabet or Elizabeth Baltory fan you will not be disapointed. If, however you like slasher,gore vampire films this is not for you. There is a plot, there are even a few slight sub-plots, but no real gore. There is ofcourse blood, hey, this is a vampire film, and some sex scenes that are not for the kiddies. The best of these tend to be female to female, so be warned- or there is another reason to buy, depending on your interests. The scenes in Venice are very fine, and the art direction is higher than most films of the type. I likes the film greatly, in fact only a slightly "Oh my god we ran out of money" quick ending, kept it from the 5/5 rateing. As I said if you are a baltory (Bathory) Fan you have to have this one! Erzbet is sexy, and dangerous, just the way she should be! MaksRead full review
Five minutes into the movie you get the first lesbian kiss. Five minutes later you get the movies first sex scene. After that every ten minutes they throw in a lesbian scene. This is one of the absolute worst movies I've seen and it's a shame because I really like the vampire genren. The movie follows a cop (cheats all the time on his wife) that is trying to figure out what has happened to his wife and everything points to this one woman which of course is the lesbian vampire leader. I bought this movie because like I said, Im a fan of the genren but this is nothing more than a bad acted, stupid ending soft porn movie. Avoid please and save that hour and a half to something else.. Like ebaying!
Very interesting and entertaining movie, starts off slow but gets much better as it progresses, i enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
