SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
kosmasp Although this doesn't say that much, coming from a really bad movie. But replacing the lead actress from the first one, was a step in the right direction. This still is soft-core don't get it wrong, but it does have a decent story to hold together the raunchy things going on every 5 minutes or so. Actually it makes you wish, there was more story and less smooching (code for simulated intercourse), but you can't have it all now, can you? Exactly.After the awful first one, I shouldn't have continued watching, but I went ahead. I did fast forward the inappropriate scenes, to get the most out of the story, which is a continuation of the first one. Not great by all means, but made with more effort than the first one and more emphasis on the "story" part.
insomniac_rod I can't understand why some people dislike this one. There's plenty of hot sex, beautiful women, not so bad plot, striking visuals (all about the club sequences), and more.Catalina Larranaga looks at her best. Really, she hasn't looked sexier. She has at least 4 kinky sex scenes where she demonstrates her excellent abilities in bed (and standing up!).Renee Rea looks very cute and sexy at the same time. The girl has intense sex sequences.Jezebelle Bond also shows why she's a favorite in the genre.You can't ask for more. There are plenty of things to enjoy from this one.
augustian The second in the Embrace the Darkness trilogy sees Jennifer now played by soft core stalwart Renee Rea, but unfortunately the story is very similar to the first film with a similar vampire couple - good guy but nasty girl. We do however get a proper vampire hunter called Van Helsing so that is a difference.Jennifer (Renee Rea) is slowly coming to terms with her life as one of the undead. She moves into an apartment close to a night club which is owned by Jack (Tristan Coeur D'Alene) and Lizzie (Catalina Larranaga). Jack and Lizzie recognise Jennifer as being new to the vampire existence and so take her under their wing to teach her the ways of the vampire and to hone her power and skills. As in the first film, there is an old flame, Peter (Sean Vossler) who is looking for Jennifer but when his attempts to contact her fail, he teams up with vampire hunter Van Helsing (John Maryland). Meanwhile, Jack has taken a shine to Jennifer, much to the chagrin of Lizzie, who plots her revenge.It is a pity that the writers could not have used a bit more imagination when scripting this story - it is too much like the original. On that score it is marked down but there is more sex and nudity so for that it is marked up. The acting is on a par for this type of film and the women look good with a commendation for Diana Espen for her scenes. 5 stars.
David Brown This review contains spoilers.This movie picks up right where Embrace the Darkness left off. Jennifer is now a vampire. She's also played by a different actress (Renee Rea). I liked the original Jennifer better but Renee is plenty attractive as well.The rest of the movie plays out very much like the first one did. Jennifer meets two other vampires. The girl vampire (Catalina Larranaga) is bad, but the guy vampire is good. Most of the movie follows the same formula. Vampire gets hungry. Vampire finds a mortal who looks tasty. Vampire has sex with mortal. Vampire feeds on mortal. These vampires are all wussies though. They only kill a couple of people in the entire movie. Obviously, the story wasn't too memorable, but it held my interest enough to keep my finger off the fast forward button. There's also some pretty cool special effects used throughout.There are nine sex scenes. Six are boy/girl. One is girl solo. One is girl/girl. One is guy/girl/girl. For the most part, the sex scenes were good and decently explicit. They all play out to completion and the actors and actresses are always audible over the background music.The women are all attractive and deliver good performances. There are five of them that participate in the sex scenes.There was definitely room for improvement. Katie Lohmann's masturbation scene could have been done better and Catalina Larranaga should have removed her clothes for the lesbian scene.It's no better or worse than the first movie. If you liked that one, you'll probably be happy with this one.
