A lot of people claim that this is a bad film, including it's own DVD publishers Cheezy Flicks! But it's really not that bad, aside from some not-that-great acting. The story itself is really good, even if the movie itself comes off as weird or B-movie-ish at times. An eccentric, wealthy woman, Diane, invites an unhappy married couple to her isolated desert estate for the weekend, where she initiates plans to use them as vampire nourishment. But she can't seem to decide whether she wants to love them or feed on them, and a love triangle of sorts soon forms. When the husband starts to become creeped out by her, it's revealed that she murders and "feeds off of" people. The 'chase' scene towards the end kind of makes no sense at all, and after it's all over, we're left wondering if Diane really was a vampire after all, or just insane. It's worth a look, even if just for the beautiful and talented Celeste Yardall, alone.

HATED it! Don't waste your time! That's all I can say. There are no words.

Review 303: a terribly slow goof of a sexual-style retro horror flick without the deeper components backed by terrible characters for whom no depth is written.
