Why So Blu?

Double Your Pleasure With Embrace of the Vampire on Blu-ray This Fall

I remember this film, the 1995 one, as fondly as I do like it was my first time listening to Nirvana.  Alyssa Milano was my Nirvana on DVD.  Embrace of the Vampire, the cult classic it is, was one of the first DVDs I owned and wow…my standard definition TV screen never looked so good.  And now almost 20 years later there’s a re-magining of the film.  While it’s a matter of time as to whether or not it will ever live up to Milano’s version there’s one thing I know for sure.  I’m looking forward with much anticipation to owning the original on Blu-ray and more importantly…seeing Alyssa Milano’s beauty (and her body of course) in 1080p.  But I digress,  Let’s take a closer look at this exciting news by checking out Anchor Bay’s full press release below.  Enjoy!

EMBRACE OF THE VAMPIRE (2013) stars Sharon Hinnendael (Rites of Passage, “Look”) as Charlotte, a timid and sheltered teen who has just left an all-girls Catholic school for a new life at a co-ed university. But an ancient evil has followed her here, tormenting her with disturbing nightmares and tempting her with forbidden desires. It is a hunger that can only be satiated by sensual pleasures of the flesh…and a thirst for blood. It’s a battle for her soul… and one she’s losing. But Charlotte is a fighter. The chaos and torment threatens to unleash her own inner beast, and anyone even close to her may find themselves embracing their own horrific fate.

Also separately available on Blu-ray™ for the first time and DVD on the Anchor Bay Entertainment label is the ground-breaking 1995 infamous erotic version starring former “Who’s The Boss?” child star and “Charmed” vixen Alyssa Milano. Milano stars as Charlotte, a shy, sexually inexperienced college freshman stalked by a handsome British vampire (Martin Kemp of The Krays) who believes her to be the reincarnation of his long-dead lover. But with only three days to seduce the teen virgin, he’ll tempt Charlotte with forbidden passions that include sensual dreams, a beautiful lesbian (Charlotte Lewis of The Golden Child), torrid threesomes, scorching orgies and beyond. Jordan Ladd (Club Dread), Rachel True (The Craft) and Jennifer Tilly (Bound) co-star in the sizzling supernatural classic Mr. Skin calls “the sexiest horror movie of all time!”
