Embrace of the Vampire, coming October 15th from Anchor Bay. I say that this is a baffling remake because the original has no fanbase. You usually remake a film that has at least a bit of a following so you can pull some people in with name recognition, but Embrace of the Vampire has no real fans that I know of, it's a pretty terrible film with one saving grace; Alyssa Milano's tits. That's it. That's literally the only reason anyone who has seen Embrace of the Vampire has seen Embrace of the Vampire and anyone who has seen it didn't like it apart from the nudity. Samantha Micelli grew up hot, and then starred in a movie fucking a vampire so lame they didn't even bother to give his character a name and perverts like myself thought "Yes, I will watch this movie". Then immediately following the movie "Well, that wasn't very good, now was it?"
I don't know, the girl in this remake seems attractive enough, and there seems to be more vampire action involved, so this should be a remake that surpasses the original pretty easily, though it still looks pretty crappy from the trailer.
October 15th also sees the Blu-ray debut of the original Embrace, which is also coming from Anchor Bay, so don't expect many, if any, features. It's too bad that they couldn't have added the Joe Bob Brigg's Monstervision segments on the disc as a bonus, but luckily a dude named Ian was nice enough to upload a clip of it on Youtube. In fact I say just skip both movies and watch this clip, you'll be more entertained.
The TV edit version makes it even worse.
