3.0 out of 5 stars
A surprisingly tame lesbian vampire film, January 30, 2004
This review is from: Mistress of Seduction (DVD)
Seduction Cinema puts out a lot of bad films alongside a good handful of pretty darn entertaining films; it's usually either all or nothing with these guys. Mistress of Seduction doesn't fit the bill, really; this film falls flat early on and stays there. The story certainly afforded the filmmakers a golden opportunity to give us fans what we want, but all we got was a whole lot of not much. Alysabeth Clements stars as Vamparina, a centuries-old vampire who has been tracking down the soul who killed her father long, long ago (her father was supposedly Count Dracula himself according to the movie summaries I've seen, but nothing in the movie really pointed me to such a conclusion). Clements is not really my idea of beautiful, but she does do a little sizzling of the screen with that vampiress attire of hers and that smoldering red hair. With the help of her latest lesbian victim, she finally discovers the location of her hated nemesis John (who doesn't even know what he did in his past life). As it happens, John's sister is also a lesbian, so there are all sorts of sexual goings-on taking place on both sides of the storyline. Unfortunately, all of these little girl-girl get-togethers are exceedingly boring; nothing happens beyond some kissing and heavy petting, and you won't find any complete nudity in this movie. I only emphasize this point because the same cannot be said of the vast majority of Seduction Cinema movies.
On a more positive note, the filmmakers did at least emphasize the horror aspect of the whole vampire thing this time around. It's true they played weird noises that sounded like someone crunching into dry cereal every time a vampire sank her teeth into someone's jugular, but it's also true that we actually do get to see blood and just a tiny, tiny amount of gore here. Little good can be said of the acting; I thought Alysabeth Clements was pretty good as Vamparina, but the other actors and actresses brought very little to their roles. In one scene, two buddies are having a heated argument, yet both of them look bored to death throughout the scene.
If you are a fan of vampire films, especially lesbian vampire films, Mistress of Seduction does have a little bit to offer you. If you are only interested in the types of sexual escapades frequently featured in other Seduction Cinema films, though, you may find little more than disappointment here.

Mistress of Seduction only O.K., September 12, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mistress of Seduction (DVD)
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU SHOULD NOTE: The two girls featured on the cover of this video ARE NOT IN THE MOVIE!
The story is somewhat interesting. Some attractive girls. A few okay non-explicit sex scenes. Most of the actresses get topless. Not much more.
DVD EXTRAS: The same previews from all Seduction Cinema releases. Also, clips from auditions were interesting but nothing of the "casting couch" sort. Outtakes included multiple takes of a male actor attempting to take off an actresses bra. Yawn.
PROS: Looks like they actually had a script. Cute naked girls.
CONS: Looks like they actually had a script.

Not the usual vamp fare, September 13, 2000
This review is from: Mistress of Seduction (DVD)
A vamp story with naturally beautiful girls. I was surprised when I saw this one. Quite a few laughs between erotic scenes, and, for the most part, a pretty compelling story.
Don't be confused, this is not Interview with the Vampire - but it's by far the most daring vamp/erotica production I've seen. Well worth it...you'll watch it more than once.
