Should have known by the Playboy label that this would be a fizzer. Yes, its full of gorgeous ladies, but with a lame plot and poor acting. In fact, if it wasn't for the talent (and I don't mean acting) it barely would have scratched 1 star. So if you like alot of T&A with your neck biting (you sick puppy), then this might just be for you.

An excellent soft core sex/vampire movie. Kevin Spirtas does a fine job as the master vampire surrounded by attractive females; he does not ham it up and overact which would have been easy to do in a film such as this. It's too bad Angelia High has not appeared in more pictures; she is a convincing bisexual female vampire (but I guess they ALL are!). The ending seems appropriate to me.

Good softcore from Playboy/Image. You've got a guy and a girl vampire. The girl is perfectly happy being a vampire, and just wants to hunt, feed, and have sex. The guy is unhappy, and just wants to feed and have sex. He's content to get his blood fix from robbing blood banks. Apparently blood blank blood isn't as good as fresh blood since the girl vampire wants nothing to do with it. Maybe the preserving solution they add to it isn't what she likes?

The guy vampire gets puppy dog eyes for this girl who lives in the old factory building across from the old factory building that he lives in. I think this attraction is due, in no small part, to the fact that the girl likes to take off all her clothes and practices her "performance art" (which looks a lot like masturbating) in front of her open window.

There's also a bar that's located inside an old factory building and the girl gives her "performances" in another old factory building. Whatever city this is in sure has an abundance of old factory buildings.

There's also performance girl's ex boyfriend and some blonde runaway girl who becomes vampire food.

The sex is frequent and good. Most of the scenes involve performance girl and vampire girl. Blonde runaway girl has one scene. I think there were eight scenes total. One of them was girl/girl, one was girl solo, one was guy/girl/girl, and the rest were guy/girl. The music was a little too loud for my taste, but you could still faintly hear the actors underneath it.

Performance girl gave the best, well, performances. Her "orgasms" were the back arching, fist clenching, almost seizure like displays of passion that I really like. I'd give second place to blonde runaway girl. Too bad she only had one scene. Vampire girl was more subdued, which was actually in character for her, but doesn't make for the best sex scenes. She was real nice to look at though.

This doesn't rank with the best that Playboy/Image have given us, but it's still good and will be getting repeat viewings from me in the future.

This is a Playboy movie (under the Eros production name) that is best described as a late-night softcore skin fest with a hokey vampire storyline plugged inbetween the steamy love scenes.

The women here are actually quite beautiful, and there are a good number of love scenes here. Instead of the typical 2 or 3 scenes you might see in a typical Showtime or Cinemax late-night movie, there are about 7 or 8 love scenes here. At least 1 every 10 minutes, some scenes go for quite a few minutes.

Lots of gratuitous skin showing by the two lead actresses, Madison Clark (who bears a resemblance to actress Mia Sara) as the good girl and Angelia High as the bad girl.

If you're looking for a decent plot or suspense, you won't find it here. If you want to see a female version of Interview with the Vampire, this movie might fulfill your fetish.

The DVD itself is very barebones, with only a chapter selection as its only menu.

I don't ask for much in a vampire movie --- vampires who aren't messy eaters, some kind of romantic connection between sex and vampirism (it's central to the myth, really), and characters that make some kind of sense. On most counts, "Embrace the Darkness" succeeds. Admittedly, it is more about T&A than vampirism, but it succeeds in that genre too. As for the babes ... to each his own, but to my way of thinking, two or three of the most beautiful women ON THE PLANET are in this movie.

Sex and death are two powerful forces and erotic horror loves to mix the two. This movie is no exception.

Here we have two vampires. One is male, calm and careful. The other is female, wild and dangerous. They have just moved to LA. Their personality types clash as she wants only blood from fresh victims (usually those she has had sex with) while he is content with bagged blood from the local blood bank.

Enter a pretty performance artist next door and her reporter ex-boyfriend and you get a fairly typical vampire story where obsession leads to death.

The vampires themselves are a little different. They can teleport, open doors without touching them and make their clothes jump onto their bodies.

There are lots of sex scenes in this film and plenty of nudity. Plenty of sex with the vampires and mortals (although most of them are drained in more than one way afterward).

This is an o-kay film with both halves working well. The acting is pretty good and the cast is attractive. The DVD has absolutely no special features but at least has tracks. Again, nothing special, but it is done better than most.

Surprsingly worthwhile and I would recommend it. Hungry vampires seek converts to their cult. One falls in love with a mortal. Merinda seduces Jennifer. She becomes a vampire at the end. For something I wasn't expecting anything from, it was actually pretty good.

First this movie is not about vampires that are erotic. See Hammer Horror for that. What this DVD is about is sexpires that unfortunately have to suck blood once in a while. If it wasn't for the blood thing they are saddled with they would just screw like hyper-sexual humans.

Embrace the Darkness they call it? In the title seen the guy seemed to find the darkness in the vaginal area. At the blood bank that guy also seemed to find the darkness in the vaginal area. In fact everyone in this show whether alone or together finds the darkness in the crotch. I thought why not put a little night light in there with the wiring in the basement? Surely everyone could then see the light quicker than they were seeing the dark.

Really though to sell this as a vampire movie is a bit of a stretch. When they want to screw more than all the world this then is a porn movie & goodness its only soft porn at that. That makes it neither good porn nor a good vampire film. Queen of the Damned makes this look like the weak effort it is. Queen of the Damned didn't even get finished as the star of that died. Too bad it didn't happen here. Remember that both movies have the vampire missing mortality & vampires involved with sex themes. It's just that Queen's works. This one doesn't. Don't forget Blade & its sexual themes.

Strangely enough I'm not gonna say this could not have been marketed as a unusual film but it needs a different Title & a different marketing gimmick. Most of the vampire market isn't gonna be impressed by this lame kitten licking milk vampire clan that thinks go for the gnads not go for the throat. This is soft porn & must be aggressively marketed to that crowd. I believe they would have obtained more sales as a result. I'm no prude. I own Caligula & the hardcore version of Alice in Wonderland. I got sick of the reluctant vampire early on & the show went down (pun intended) from there. I could of easily rated this movie one star but the girls are pretty & have erectile tissue in their nipples so we'll raise them (they do have two?) to a two. If you like soft porn this will do you well. If you like tension & evil avoid at all costs.

2 disappointed points ur-ahh Stars!

This movie is only good for the erotic sex scene with the hot guy and the gray haired vamp. He says that he never did anything like that before (yeah, right). Just look at his hot face, and body, then listen to his voice...mmm...also look at his face during the sex scene and right before she bites him. After all that his legs and pulled down pants and underwear shake...ooh, I am so hot right now. It's too bad that he had to bite the dust...LOL. If you are a teenage boy like me see this movie for the hot chicks too.
