LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

aimless-46 John Huston once said that a good story should have "excitement, color, spectacle and humor, adventure, high drama, tragedy, good conversation, truth and irony". This is a pretty good description of the vampire horror/comedy "Fright Night" (1985), which I highly recommend for fans of the genre. 2006's "The Insatiable" borrows heavily from "Fright Night" for its basic premise, but neglects to also borrow any of the excitement, humor, good conversation, and most everything else that make the original film work. To some extent the same could be said about the segments it borrows from "Clerks" (1994), which are not done as well as the original but still leave the viewer wishing they had borrowed more and created less."The Insatiable's" 103-minute running length is very front-end loaded. It sets itself up to be another Fright Night" but the wheels fall off at the midway point and the thing dully limps along until it recovers somewhat with a decent closing scene.It does manage to put most of its tiny budget on the screen in a professional manner and should get high marks for the crew's hard work. But it is one of those sow's ears to silk purse things where you just can't do much with such a weak script.It is a depressing lost opportunity because Sean Patrick Flanery and Michael Biehn could have carried a film of this nature if they had more parody and exploitation elements to work with; their scenes together are excellent. The vampire (Tatiana) is played by a middle age woman named Charlotte Ayanna; her acting is more listless than bad so it is not a particularly good mockfest candidate. I doubt if even Leighton Meester could have done much with the lines they wrote for Tatiana, although she would have looked better even in Titiana's dreary thrift shop wardrobe.Co-Directors Cory Solomon and Chuck Konzelman seem pretty much clueless about acting for the camera direction.The DVD thankfully has no commentary feature.Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

Vampirebear13 This movie is like a much better remake of Dance of The Damned. Idiots who don't like this movie,know absolutely nothing about vampire legend,lore,background or movies. Vampires are all about being sexy+lustful. Vampire movies are not about some "bad guy" running around killing people. If you want those kinda flicks,stick to Freddy+Jason. This film was very well done and really it's worst flaw is (like a lot of big studio films) poor casting. Sean Patrick Flannery is a capable actor but completely wrong for this flick. His part should have gone to someone like Jon Cryer,but,Sean's career isn't flourishing like Jon's. If want to see what's basically the original of this film,find Dance of The Damned. (It's a vampire love story anyway) It was later remade into To Sleep With a Vampire with Alyssa Milano+Scott Valentine... now that was a complete waste of film.

dustinhunter707 OK I have seen some bad vampire movies, but I didn't think it was possible to make one this bad. This movie had like 2 scenes of violence and the characters are just plain retarded. The main guy is a computer executive that holds the female vampire captive and feels the need to feed her when he could just do what any normal human being would do and LET HER DIE!!! Why would anyone keep a vampire alive? Thats just dumb, and Michael Biehn's character was even sort of dumb because he had like a 10 minute role in the movie altogether. The best thing about this movie is how hot Charlotte Ayanna looked, but thats beside the point. Its a vampire movie and it should have action, this had none. She was in a cage for over an hour getting fed by an idiot. Please avoid this movie at all costs, it really has no point and it is the worst vampire movie ever. Overall I give it a 2 out of 10 because Charlotte Ayanna looked good, but the movie just plain failed from beginning to end.

khilari *No real action *No entertaining plot *Main actors were good within the confines of a dire scriptSo the lead actress was hot and the lead actor recognisable from his stint as the Young Indiana Jones... just a lot older looking.As far as vampire movies go, this was pretty lame. As far as subtle comedies go, it wasn't good but wasn't as bad. I don't know if it was intended to be comical, but the acting was pretty comical - the lead played a dead-beat down-on-his-luck guy pretty well but all in all this was a dire movie.The plot in theory is a good one but it wasn't especially interesting, was especially predictable and really should have been much shorter. I probably wouldn't get to the end of this movie if it was on TV and certainly wouldn't rent it on DVD or watch it at the movies.
