It's a B movie, so low-production value, some of the direction could have use a bit more transition scene to make the movie more fluid and the space more real but...The characters development, which is central to the movie, is excellent and keeps you hooked in. The scenes between the two main characters are strong: they are supported by dialogues that are simple but effective and both actors doing a fine job.I watched "Wanted", with Angelina Jolie, and "Insatiable" the same evening: the next day, "Insatiable" made a stronger impression on me.Whoever made this movie deserves a bigger budget.

I came to watch this movie randomly just because there was Michael Biehn in it and I was pleasantly surprised! I understand that many people who expected a horror film were disappointed because that's just not what it is (it's also kind of a mistake of the producers because when watching the trailer, this looks like a sinister horror-thriller). In fact, it's a satiric comedy about a loser-type named Harry who falls in love with a vampire. he's supposed to kill her, but instead he locks her up in his basement and feeds her with rabbits to prevent her from dying. For me there is an over-all grotesqueness over this movie, starting from the idea to lock someone up in a basement (which is utter reality for some examples lately here in Europe...) over to stuff like the pillory that Harry forges for his succubus so they can have sex without her being a danger for him. There is a number of extraordinary classy scenes such as the one where Harry, obsessed by the beauty of the vampire in his basement, orders some human hemoglobin online as a special gift for his mistress. When he comes to choose the blood type, he picks "my type" with a unique smile of satisfaction :)Also the side characters like Cyndi, Harry's double-minded neighbor or Javier, the guy from work who always picks on Harry and considers himself as a "sexual tyrannosaurus Rex" make the movie insightful and worth watching.By the way, I saw this movie first without knowing about it being a low-budget flick for an estimated 700k dollars. After a second watch, I noticed that maybe the music is somewhat elevator-style and the cuts and fades are not that smooth as they are in big-time blockbusters, but unless you have an eye for it, you won't realize. It's a great little movie that you shouldn't miss.

This may be the best vampire film you see this year, forget about big budget big star adventure movies with a vampire theme, this is true to the legend, well produced and well acted with a small cast and probably a small budget but you'd never guess. Apart from being hot Charlotte Ayanna positively simmers as the vampire trapped in the cellar by a sad little metalwork salesman played superbly by Sean Patrick Flannery. Even the smaller parts are well cast and well acted, it shows that they cared about this movie even though they weren't famous names. So many smaller films suffer from poor acting by the actors who play the smaller parts but not here, the detective is believable and the cashier in the local store is a treat. I loved the part when Harry produces a money off coupon when buying the wherewithal to dispose of a body in the local hardware store, that's the attention to detail that shows this production team has a future, bring on the next movie!

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.
