Victor Webster is a great choice for the role of the young, hot professor that the students lust over. Sharon Hinnendael is a very convincing Charlotte who is able to convey that she is sweet but damaged. The unrated comes in as the girl on girl sex gets hot and heavy but if that’s what you’re in it for, you’ll be fast forwarding for quite a while. For a while it seems as though this is a remake of Carrie but Charlotte begins to unravel as it’s revealed she is destined to be a vampire hunter. The plot provides just enough “normal” to make you forget that vampires are lurking in plain sight. The film continues for quite a while without a whole lot going on and even less explanations. Once the history lesson ends, the film jumps to the present day and looks like it was made with a decent budget and good actors. Her teacher and fencing coach Professor Cole (Victor Webster) says he wants to help Charlotte but immediately seems to be interested in more than being a mentor.Īs Embrace of the Vampire begins, it seems like a hokey horror flick with bad special effects and one vampire cliché after another. Charlotte has nightmares and blackouts making her transition to her new school that much more difficult. Her roommate Nicole (Tiio Horn) is nice and wants to be friends but the captain of the fencing team leads the squad in being mean, rude, and even hazing poor Charlotte. The faculty at the college is quick to remind her of the consequences of failing to meet her obligations and Charlotte reminds them that she cannot fail because she has nothing to go back to.
She is an orphan with an unknown past who has a fencing scholarship.
I haven’t seen the original and I can’t speak about how true to it’s predecessor this film is, but I can say that the 2013 version doesn’t make me want to go back and watch the first film.Ĭharlotte (Sharon Hinnendael) is a shy young woman who is starting a new school. Embrace of the Vampire is a remake of the 1995 horror flick of the same name. 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. It’s a battle for her soul… and one she’s losing. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh…and a thirst for blood. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. Embrace of the Vampire stars Sharon Hinnendael 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.
