Embrace of the Vampire
Based, loosely, on a 1995 movie starring Alyssa
Milano, this film from director Carl Bessai tells the story of a virginal young
Catholic school girl named Charlotte (Sharon Hinnendael) whose transfer to a
co-ed university rocks her world in more ways than one. In between erotic
dreams of her classmates, Charlotte stats having horrific hallucinations that
lead her to believe she’s in a fight for her very soul. While the plot is a bit
strained at times, Bessai has a real talent for filling the screen with
unforgettable images to illustrate the story in new and imaginative ways.
Hinnendael is likable in the lead, not an easy thing given the dialogue she’s
forced to speak. Watching her go through some of the film’s more gory scenes
makes you root for her even more.
