To sleep with a vampire. *****Warning Spoilers***** God what an awful movie this is. I know Charlie never gonna get an Oscar part but this was juts down right boring Scott valentine can't act (he never could) He basically walk around in the room, a lot of the movie take part in a one room apartment) being all moody. The script doesn't make much sense either. He picks up a depressed stripper cause he can feel she got a death wish. She comes with him back to he's apartment ( "Cause deep down, all strippers love to date their customers right") Than he tells her, that she will tell him all about what its like being out in the daylight, and that he's gonna kill her afterwards when the daylight comes at six (only problem is: you can see daylight seeping trough the boarded up windows, the whole time they are in the apartment. some scenes it even shines him right in the face, and he don't react) As she point out her self if you wanna know about being out in the daylight, why kidnap someone who works at night There is no on screen chemistry between the actors. If it wasn't cause you know both are actors you would think they had picked two strangers right of the streetOh did I forget the cheese lines? "I can't stop the sound of your heartbeat; I can hear the blood in your veins" Seriously who, comes up with this garbage? The pathetic dialog is so bad it makes you cringe, and for a vampire movie it moves to slow paced I know all actors gotta make a living somehow, but this gotta be Charlie's worst gig up till now, It's even worse than Meridan. Scott Valentine's performance makes David Boreanaz; Angel looks Oscar worthy. Even James Marsters does a better performance as a vampire, and he had to bleach he's hair and speak with a British accent.

This movie is a remake of the movie "Dance of the Damned," which came out a mere 5 years prior, only this one is available on DVD. Both movies are about a vampire who is hiding his desire (not very well, mind you) to be human (to feel the sun, to be close to others, to end his hunger for blood), who must feed tonight. He chooses an at-the-end-of-her-rope stripper as his teacher/meal, due to a dark, suicidal quality he senses in her soul. She thus is able to act as a "bridge" between his world and that of a normal human, while discovering she has a lot more to live for than she thought. Overall, this is a good movie. One can tell the acting is quite scripted at times, but the overall theme doesn't suffer for it. *** out of ****

This film provides an intelligent and entertaining twist to the vampire genre. Even the low-budget constraints (e.g., the strip club scenes) seem fresh. They serve the story without losing their intrinsic prurient interest. There are, to quote my buddy Carl, some "way cool action scenes where the vampire dude beats the crap outta these other dudes." Combined with the scenes in the vampire's lair, the power of the vampire is revealed with a verisimilitude that makes it easy to suspend disbelief. From start to finish, this vampire film sucks you in.

To be honest, i'm surprised by the positive votes that this film has received. The movie just drags along its 81 minute life span, and the audience has to suffer the whole way through. Actually there are some positive moments in this film; Charlie Spradling gives a decent performance. She is given some pretty pathetic dialogue and she handles it pretty well. Scott Valentine(Merrideth's boyfriend in Family Ties), on the other hand, is a pretty rough watch. I guess the highlight of his performance is witnessing the guy laying on the beach wearing tiger-patterned chummies....give me a break. Also, Valentine gives us a boorish and pathetic portrayal of a suffering vampire who misses the day(to see a much more convincing rendition of the suffering vampire see Denice Duff in "Bloodstorm: Subspecies 4"). The movie moves so slow and is only positively punctuated by, and to be honest, Charlie Spradling's dance scenes. This movie can honestly only be recommended to the die hard fans of Charlie Spradling (which i am, and i still had a rough time watching it!).
