Female vampires once ruled the world. Now they are overlooked for glittering guys with big hair. It's time to point out why the female of the species should be the center of attention.
The Gist: A guy and his "friend" end up at a mansion when their car breaks down and soon realize the mistress is a vampire with a taste for her guests.
Female Vampire Factor: The main vampire in this film is played by KC Williams
This is a pretty straight forward film. She has invited a number of people into her home to stay
Then one by one she seduces each one then bites them
Final Opinion: This is a comedic adult feature which to say the least is just weird. When your main protagonist is a guy doing an exaggerated Jerry Lewis like high pitched voice with a costar who's a ventriloquists dummy it's hard to take serious.
Williams as a vampiress is pretty much the high point of the film but not enough to make this more than a joke even by early 90's standards
I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 3 out of 5. If you watch it like most people watch adult films (with the fast forward button handy) it's tolerable.
The Gist: When an awkward teenage girl all of a sudden makes the cheerleading squad, her life dramatically changes when the other girls on the squad reveal they are vampires and now she must become one.
Female Vampire Factor: Chase (right) and her best friend Pam (left) are the main protagonists of the film. They decide during the beginning of the school year to not turn down any opportunities that year to prevent from being labled prudes and hopefully become popular. The first invitation comes from the new cheerleading coach who invites them to try out.
After the tryout Chase makes the team and Pam doesn't. Pam ends up getting offered a team manager position so she can be involved. The new mean girls in the school who also made the squad invite them both to a party at their place to celebrate.
At the party the popular/mean girls isolate Chase. The head cheerleader Sin then lets her know there is an initiation she has to go through. That's when she informs Chase that they're all vampires and she needs to drink blood from a chalice to be one of them, which she does (even though she doesn't believe the vampire story but she wants to fit in). The remainder of the movie has Chase becoming increasingly popular (as she's magically hot with her glasses off and makeup) while struggling to hold her vampire side back.
Meanwhile the head cheerleader Sin spends the rest of the film trying to get Chase to leave her human friends behind to be loyal to the vampire cheerleader clique..
Which consists of Sin and her two background minions who follow her everywhere.
After Chase and her friends defeat the vampire cheerleaders they are concerned when Chase doesn't revert to being human again. That's when the cheerleading coach reveals that she is the head vampire.
At the end of the film Chase and Page go back to their old life of being on the bowling team. When some guys at the alley taunt them they reveal that they're both vampires (with Page being turned by Sin earlier in the film in an effort to get her to turn on Chase) hissing at the guys scaring at the point that they urinate themselves.
Final Opinion: I can best describe this as a cross between the really good Halloween vampire episode of Smallville and the film Vamp U but with high schoolers or just an English language version of the Brazilian teen comedy "Chica Vampiro". Especially since it pretty much shares that shows main story of the girl turned vampire who is interested in a boy but deals with blood lust every time she gets close to him.
I've always been a fan of the "Vampire fangs are an analogy for an erection" angle and this goes all in on that with Chase even having to basically hide and having to be taught to think about old people bowling to get them to retract. I highly recommend this one. It's cheesy but in a good way. This is an easy Vampire Beauty Rating of 5 out of 5.
The Gist: After a night in an area inhabited by an ancient tribe a group of young socialites wake up as vampires with some having an easier time of adjusting than others.
Female Vampire Factor: The group consists of two women Anastasia (Left) and Lulu (Right)
Final Opinion: The bulk of the film consists of the group basically standing around trying to figure out exactly what the rules of being a vampire are. Outside of the fangs (which are not retractable and always out) nothing else really vampiric naturally comes to them including bloodlust which they just drink out of curiosity.
Because of this they kind of go about the vampire lifestyle because they feel they need to and not because any driving force is making them. Almost like it's just an experimental lifestyle as they just add blood drinking to the partying lifestyle they had before.
As the film progresses the guys of the group begin to lose control and give in to their bloodlust. Actually, reality is they come off as jerks anyway so being vampires seems fun to them so not sure if it's really the bloodlust or just them getting a kick out of scaring women. Either way all the vampiric horror stuff comes from the guys in the film with the girls pretty much avoiding it (which is eventually explained why later in the film).
The only on screen bite from a female comes in the literal last scene when Lulu goes in for a bite on the guy in the group who was apparently stringing her along the entire time.
I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 3 out of 5. The fact that their fangs are always out makes it a bit of a selling point if you're into female vampires but that's pretty much the only thing. It's a very good suspenseful drama otherwise. Just not a great vampire movie.
