Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
It's hard to dislike a movie that strives so hard to offend the vampire fan base. No dripping Gothic piles here. The in-your-face and on-your-neck vamp strides through sun-bleached Los Angeles without a care and is defiantly female, as a first reel would-be rapist discovers. Under whichever title, it's a lightweight treatise on voyeurism and domination given a classier look, courtesy Lacambre, than the run of New World releases, though characteristically low-rent in all other departments.Author: DO
