For many, 1995’s Embrace of the Vampire was a rite of passage: a sleazy erotic horror film featuring what appeared to be the early on-screen sexual awakening of Alyssa Milano. And frankly, that’s all most people remember about the cult classic about a college freshman seduced into darkness. Perhaps that’s why it was so ripe for a remake, premiering October 15 n DVD & Blu-ray, the same day that the original Embrace of the Vampire premieres in the high-definition format, courtesy of Anchor Bay.
The 2013 version of Embrace of the Vampire stars Sharon Hinnendael (“Look”) as… a college freshman seduce into darkness. Well, they got that part right at least. The horror-thriller co-stars Tiio Horn “Defiance”), C.C. Sheffield (“True Blood”), Chelsey Marie Reist (12 Rounds: Reloaded), Victor Webster (“Continuum”) and Keegan Connor Tracy (“Bates Motel”), who in this CraveOnline Exclusive preview tells Sharon Hinnendael’s fortune and does some very, very unusual things with her blood.
From the Press Release:
EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE (2013) stars Sharon Hinnendael (Rites of Passage, “Look”) as Charlotte, a timid and sheltered teen who has just left an all-girls Catholic school for a new life at a co-ed university. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh…and a thirst for blood. It’s a battle for her soul… and one she’s losing. But Charlotte is a fighter. The chaos and torment threatens to unleash her own inner beast, and anyone even close to her may find themselves embracing their own horrific fate.
Also separately available on Blu-ray™ for the first time and DVD on the Anchor Bay Entertainment label is the ground-breaking 1995 infamous erotic version starring former “Who’s The Boss?” child star and “Charmed” vixen Alyssa Milano. Milano stars as Charlotte, a shy, sexually inexperienced college freshman stalked by a handsome British vampire (Martin Kemp of The Krays) who believes her to be the reincarnation of his long-dead lover. But with only three days to seduce the teen virgin, he’ll tempt Charlotte with forbidden passions that include sensual dreams, a beautiful lesbian (Charlotte Lewis of The Golden Child), torrid threesomes, scorching orgies and beyond. Jordan Ladd (Club Dread), Rachel True (The Craft) and Jennifer Tilly (Bound) co-star in the sizzling supernatural classic Mr. Skin calls “the sexiest horror movie of all time!”
