8/12: At some point during Embrace of the Vampire, I thought the editing felt familiar, and it turns out the director, Anna Goursand, worked on Bram Stoker's Dracula a few years earlier.

Sensing the soft porn style, I also wondered if Anna Goursand was Zalman King's protégé and was proved correct as she directed Another 9½ Weeks. Results might have been better had Zalman King done Embrace of the Vampire instead.

Looking at the comments on amazon.com, they've been: "Boy, does Alyssa Milano look great when she's naked!", "Alyssa Milanois smoking", "[She is] the only highlight of this film," "Alyssa Milano! Mostly Nude!", "The 5 stars are for Alyssa's perfect nude body only," and "Alyssa Milano is hot!"

It seems these reviewers were impressed by the size of her areolas but paid no attention to everything else. I wonder why she did it for such a poor script. The bitch battle between her character and Elisa is interesting and should've been the main feature of the film.

All in all, Anne Goursand is a Zalman King wannabe.
