Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Anssi Vartiainen Eternal tells the tale of the second most well-known vampire, who has his or her origins in real historical people. In this case that person is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, a Hungarian noblewoman who reputedly bathed in the blood of beautiful virgin women in order to keep her youth. And like Dracula in many stories, she has survived to the modern day, hiding in the shadows cast by the world of man.Unfortunately, just like many other vampire movies, it's not all that great. Mainly because of the poor quality of the script and the actors. Both are obviously doing their best, but it's not enough and the harsh reality that you're watching a movie always shines through. The story also never rises above clichéd murder mystery and the needless change to exotic locations feels more like pandering and following the dotted line than it feels like an actual way to move the story forward.The biggest problems however is that the story is dull. It has no bite behind it, no soul that would hook you in. And frankly that might have been avoided if they had had the guts to make an honest N-17 film. And I'm not saying that just because I want to see more naked ladies - although I do. But the original story itself is heavy with sexual themes, many many horrible murders and the utter corruption of a mortal woman. To put it another way, look at the cover of the film and tell me that it wouldn't feel more at home in a N-17 movie. That way the film would at least have more crunch to arouse the interest of its audience.All that being said, I've seen worse vampire films in my lifetime. The actors are not very good, but they're not horrible. The script is lackadaisical, but it's trying. There is some good imagery, the sets are nice and I don't regret seeing it.

MBunge This Canadian sex thriller is about as erotic as a pound of back bacon and flies completely apart at the end like an old jalopy driven too hard for too long. With a leading man who looks like a grubby, toothsome cousin to mixed martial arts legend Randy "The Natural" Couture and plot that has a hole in it bigger than Jenna Jameson's vagina, the only thing that could have redeemed this film is lots and lots of naked women. Unfortunately, all Eternal has to offer is some chicks necking, a single pair of bared breasts and a sex scene that consists exclusively of dry humping.Opening with the theft of a painting that's never explained, this movie follows that with a bi-curious woman (Sarah Manninen) rendezvousing with the throaty Elizabeth Kane (Caroline Neron) in what appears to be a Eurotrash version of the Playboy Mansion. Instead of an orgasm, the bi-curious babe winds up dead with a punctured neck. It turns out she was the wife of Montreal vice cop and general pervert Raymond Pope (Conrad Pla). His investigation of her disappearance, aided by his baby sitter Lisa (Liane Balaban), quickly leads Pope to Elizabeth and her right-hand woman Irina (Victoria Sanchez).At this point, a gaping maw opens up in the plot as Pope doesn't do ANY of the things a cop would do when he identifies a suspect in his wife's vanishing act, and that's the only reason this story lasts longer than 20 minutes. After some retarded cat-and-mouse games between Elizabeth and Pope, the story abruptly shifts to Italy and grinds to a halt so a bunch of images that would make the Venice Tourism Agency proud can be paraded across the screen. It all winds up with Elizabeth imprisoned by what appears to be the Catholic Church, of all things, and a conclusion that feels like there was originally another 20 to 25 pages that were simply sliced off the end of the script.The high point of Eternal is at the very beginning when Elizabeth seduces and makes out with Pope's bi-curious wife. Neither of them get nude, but it whets your appetite for what you hope is to come...only to increase your disappointment when it never materializes.As for the low points, they go on and on and on. Conrad Pla is the least attractive man in the cast, which is sort of a problem when Pope's sexuality is such a big theme of the movie. There's a subplot of Irina biting people with monster dentures and Pope's baby sitter is given a slutty friend to hang around with. When Pope discovers Elizabeth is probably the last person to ever see his wife alive, he not only never gets a search warrant for her home or takes her down to the station to interrogate her, there's no evidence in this film that Pope even informs the rest of the cops that Elizabeth is a suspect and there's no reason or excuse why not. It's almost like the character was initially meant to be a private eye, but then a producer made co-writers Wilhelm Liebenberg and Federico Sanchez change Pope to a cop and they never adjusted the rest of the screenplay to reflect that. And when the whole production shifts to Venice? Good grief. It doesn't make any sense within the context of the story and signals the end of any attempt at logic or coherence.Now, if a bunch of reasonably attractive females had taken their clothes off, at least some of the flaws of Eternal could be overlooked. With only one naked bosom in the whole show, those flaws actually become more irritating. Unless you'd like a look at what apparently sets off the Canadian libido, don't bother with this thing.

MosHr This movie wasn't certainly made to make a point; neither does it seem to fully satiate the lowbrow Dracula thingie - where the Dracula is a stunning woman; but it comes pretty close.Before seeing the movie I was hoping that the film-makers had tried ingratiate themselves to the male audience with lots of naked flesh eye-candy and some Dracula biting and blood gore to top it off. Maybe my expectations were too high - maybe I was hoping for soft-core porn level but with this movies production values.Anyway, the protagonist male has too much attention thrust on him. I mean he's only supposed to reaffirm our gawk and awe at the unbridled hedonism and provide curt one liners for humor and react in the manliest way possible - but those stabs at intelligent and seductive conversation is a total waste of time as it's done very very poorly. That time could have been better used for other more stimulating things.I think this would have been excellent if it had stayed on it's main thesis: the Victorian and elegant lady-Dracula with lots of lesbian oriented eye-candy and goth fashion and props. But, the rather few strays from it sort of dulls the pleasure but still a good waste of time.

rwpinc I'm a sucker for vampire movies. I gotta see them. When I saw it was an erotic vampire movie, it shot up to #1 on my must see list. And I was not disappointed. And since the movie was shot primarily in Montreal, I got a good laugh trying to figure out where the shots came from. Basically, the vamp does her thing (sucking and killing ladies), kills somebody personal to the main cop in question, and he goes to great lengths to catch her. The plot is fairly straight forward, but the film stands out visually. Great looking sets. And if you want to see some beautiful ladies, you've come to the right movie. The vamp is hot, her assistant is hot, and even the wives of the cops are hot. Here are my 3 points to ponder: 1. The vamp, Caroline Neron, is a stone cold fox.2. The first scene is probably one of the hottest scenes you will ever see in a movie.3. Did I mention that Caroline Neron is babe? I cannot stress that enough.
