Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Virginal co-ed is focus of lost vampire love.
Review: A rather uninspired vampire film with plenty of external anatomy thown in to keep the viewer awake. Mostly lacking in action, the movie follows the contrived descent of an innocent college girl into the clutches of a would-be vampire lover. Milano fans will love it - vampire fans will mostly yawn.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: STRICTLY FOR MILANO FANS
Review: A so-so- vampire picture saved by Alyssa Milano's great body which is shown off well here. It's really soft core porn. I was disappointed by the small part that Jennifer Tilly had in the picture.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: For soft-core fans
Review: A vampire (Kemp) has 3 days to find the soul of his virginal true love and sleep with her or he's toast. As luck would have it he finds her in the body of a student, so begins a series of erotic dreams in which the vampire attempts to seduce his would-be bride. When rating this film I had 2 factors to consider since I bought it expecting a horror movie. For a a soft-core its very steamy without being over done, with Alyssa getting it on with Martin Kemp and Charlotte Lewis. But the vampire part is a after thought. There is no horror and the ending is no surprise.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Alyssa Milano esta maravilhosa neste thriller.
Review: Alyssa Milano está maravilhosa neste ótimo filme de terror. Ela que incorpora a chamada vitima a qual é "seduzida" pelo vampiro. Alyssa que ainda nos dá com seu ar sempre jovem e meigo e que nos faz lembrar a menina Samantha em Who's the Boss, a menina que conquistou o coração de todos. É uma grata surpresa vê-la mulher e belíssima atuando magistralmente. O filme é um bom thriller, mas que com toda certeza não seria o mesmo sem a nossa querida e bela Alyssa Milano.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Intriguing Vampire movie with Alyssa Milano!
Review: Alyssa Milano is so beautiful in this movie. She is by far the one of the most stunning actresses today.It is unfortunate that this is the type of movie that she did to resurrect her career, but overall it's not half bad. It is very dark,sensual, and intriguing, and Alyssa plays Chartlotte, a virginal freshman who dreams of a vampire who seduces her in her dreams. the film is beautifully shot with semi-convincing performances from the attractive cast which includes Rachel True, Jennifer Tilly, Charlotte Lewis, and Harrison Pruett. Alyssa does what she can with the weak material and overtakes the movie... Main problem is the vampire himself. Martin Kemp does well as the vamp, but I cannot for the life of me understand what the attraction to him would be. He is not mysterious and daring looking. He is quite unattractive. I would have pictured more of a Brad Pitt/Tom Cruies type vampire. It would have been more convincing Charlottes obsession for him. This movie is soft core porn, but it is more than that. An interesting, sensual look, at how our dreams can sometimes take over our lives.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Alyssa Milano nude is the only good thing this film offers.
Review: Alyssa Milano stars as a college girl being seduced by a vampire who has to have sex with her to survive, or something like that. Silly erotic thriller has a story that makes no sense, has no suspense and no scares. The only entertainment value it offers is a nude Alyssa Milano. That means about 10 minutes of sex/nudity (Admittedly, the lesbian scene between Milano and Charlotte Lewis is steamy, if not a little too short), 80 minutes trying to set all these scenes up, not a very good bargain.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: Alyssa's lack of clothing maybe the only redeeming feature of this film. I love vampire flicks, which was my second reason for buying this. But i was sad to find out that there isn't a good story behind it. Martin Kemp (Spandau Ballet/Eastenders) give a strained performance , but with such a bad script who can blame him. If you like the supernatural and Alyssa, watch "Charmed", she may keep her clothes on but at least you won't wear out the fast forward on your remote.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Softcore Lesbian Vampire Porn
Review: And that's it. Milano gets naked, Kemp's vampire goes after her. In between we have some lust, some orgies, and a lame plot involving something about morals that I just can't remember. Sorry.

It's cheesy, good fun that should appeal to the open minded of either sex as a date video. But make sure he/she isn't a prude. The only thing missing from this vid are close-ups...and Milano even does a lesbian thing, for all those lonely guys out there.

Worth your time, as long as you aren't looking for suspense, dialogue, or a coherent plot. Oh, and if you're looking for lots and lots of softcore sex, well, this is your film. Rejoice!

PS: I give it 3 of 5 not for the film, but for the fact that it celebrates what is--softcore lesbian vampire porn! And never deviates. As a film, it barely rates. As mediocre softcore with (semi)stars, it's brilliant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: cinematic opus, and bill
Review: as the previous reviewer mentioned, this is easily an Oscar caliber performance from Ms. milano. while some may know her from her tireless work on behalf of those oppressed by tops or on her weekly tour de force "charmed", others will hearken back to a simpler age, when she was on who's the boss. that was a show ahead of its time. it was not afraid to ask the tough hard hitting journalistic interrogatives, and really put you on the spot to answer the title question. On the surface Judith light was the seeming "boss", yet she frequently deferred to Tony danza's sage wisdom. I believe the show proved her to really be a figurehead, and "mister minnelli" the power behind the throne, but I digress.

alyssa has truly found her stride in this movie. she registers herself as a thespian with this performance, and many consider this her message to the academy, that she has arrived. the depth and power with which she removes various garments has to be seen to be believed. her spontaneous delivery of hamlets soliloquy deep in the second act brought tears to my eyes. luckily the tissue box was close...at hand. i believe if they revived the aforementioned show, alyssa would now be the boss.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not as good as any random episode of "Charmed."
Review: Despite its cult reputation owing to Alyssa Milano's frequent nude scenes, "Embrace of the Vampire" is unfortunately not as satisfying as any random episode of "Charmed." And don't rent this expecting to see Jennifer Tilley, who has only a tiny five-minute cameo
