Michael Ledo The film opens with a 1735 Bulgarian vampire scene, then switches to modern times. Charlotte (Sharon Hinnendael) attends North Summit University. She hails from an all girl Catholic school. She is pale, virginal, has a blood disease, and is socially inept. She is despised by the fencing team captain (Olivia Cheng), but is loved by Chris (Ryan Kennedy) Sarah (Chelsey Reist) and her fencing instructor (Victor Webster) who all want in her pants. Charlotte is clearly our dysfunctional Buffy who also suffers from hallucinations, bad dreams, and a gypsy (Keegan Connor Tracy) who needs to talk to her.The vampire aspect is small. We don't find out who the vampire is until an hour into the film. Most of the film centers around Charlotte, her job, her hazing, and her locker room discussions. The film has gratuitous nudity which includes a stripping/drinking hazing scene as well as some girl/girl action that would be classified as soft core porn.Perv Guide: F-bomb, sex, blond girl/blond girl action, nudity (Sharon Hinnendael, Kaniehtiio Horn, C.C. Sheffield, Chelsey Reist + others) 3 stars for the nudity.

M MALIK This film is another proof that remakes and reboots are never good for any franchise or even a single solo film that was released decades ago look at James Bond 007 series a fine example of how to kill something great a sequel is always appreciated but this is not the case with this film embrace of the vampire 2013 this film is lousy remake of a great project came out in 1995 starting Alyssa Milano.The acting is extremely annoying even kids do better then this all the hot ladies got wasted here even the lead actress Sharon Hinnendael does give her best but wrong story with awful direction ruined everything here.The concept of the original 1995 film & this one shares similarities but this one is entirely different in many ways the viewer is taken for granted here this is the slowest film for its genre have these people ever heard the word pace i guess not Carl Bessai maybe a good director but looks like he got confused here on how to execute this entire thing properly.The Plot:Charlotte comes to a university but soon bizarre things start to happen around her the evil force corrupts Charlotte she gets visions & more often when she is near professor Cole.The ending is laughable,cheesy & crazy at the same time aping other famous horror titles if anyone is looking at the poster thinking there might be some intimate scenes here they will be disappointed as there is one lesbian scene here which is shot badly not even a single good straight scene here.Just who allowed these people to ruin 90s epic that's right i am saying it anything that is from 90s is classic compared with todays nonsense,if this was so good it would have gone theatrical but it came direct to DVD it is just missing Steven Seagal or Dolph Lundgren.Overall do not waste your time with this boring dull remake & watch the original instead my rating for embrace of the vampire 2013 is 2/10:skipp it

stone_c91 This is a remake of the 1995 movie starring Alyssa Milano as Charlotte. You expect a remake would be good but this is not the case. Just like the original it was very bad. I have nothing good to write about this movie except the lesbian scene, the rest are all garbage. The female character in this movie is played by Sharon Hinnendael as Charlotte Hawthorn. Her character reminds me of Bella Swan from Twilight, shy and a quite girl. However she can't act and so are the rest of the cast member. Also the story line is so lame I could not bare to watch without pausing every 10 minutes. If you seen the original there's no point of seeing this movie, unless you skip to the " good part ".

SnoopyStyle There isn't anything special here. It's a bit of T&A inside a weak vampire story. Charlotte Hawthorn (Sharon Hinnendael) is a shy new girl in college with a dark mysterious past. She is on scholarship from fencing. Only she's having hellish visions and waking up in strange places.Hinnendael is an OK actress, and not much is asked of her. Her character is shy, speaks softly, and shows off her body. She can walk and talk. But she's not doing Shakespeare here. Her roommate Nicole (Kaniehtiio Horn) has a bit more spark. And Victor Webster plays that hot intense teacher. Keegan Connor Tracy plays a witchy mysterious woman. The acting is OK. The story is simple. The big missing ingredient is a sense of style, and a menacing atmosphere. For a horror movie, that's a big deal. This is a better-than-most B-movie.
