Trama e commenti: thrauma.it - videociak.net - delcinema.it: «La Kristel interpreta il personaggio che dą il titolo al film, che giunge a Los Angeles e si stabilisce in un museo delle cere. Un lavoro sciocco e insignificante. L'allora venticinquenne regista Coppola č il nipote di Francis. Girato nel 1987».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - allmovie.com - tvguide.com - rottentomatoes.com - movies.nytimes.com - trashcity.org - answers.com - dvdtimes.co.uk - tiendacine.terra.es - aullidos.com - momentumpictures.co.uk - thevideograveyard.com: «Sylvia Kristel (of Emmanuelle fame) stars as Vanessa, the wife of Dracula who shows up in the loading bay of a wax museum in Hollywood as part of a shipment from Romania. Soon after her arrival, she begins to messily feed on a couple of victims and then takes control of the museum's owner, Raymond, turning him into a modern day Renfield. Vanessa seems a little confused throughout the film as she wants to go back to Romania to reunite with her hubby but she also gets in on with Raymond in one scene. She also wants to even the score with Van Helsing's grandson after she discovers that his grandpappy killed the love of her life. Along for the ride is a hard boiled cop named Hap Lannon (who provides a film noir voiceover and was the best character in the movie) and Raymond's girlfriend, Jenny, whose last name Harker is obviously a reference to the book but this point is not relevant to the story. From a silly B-movie point of view, this flick had some good moments. It had a 80's atmosphere throughout complete with bad hair and clothes, fog machines, neon, and overstated lighting that brought Creepshow to mind at a few points. The thing I didn't like about this film was that I thought the idea of Dracula's widow trying to get back to her husband was quite cool but the filmmakers didn't capitalize on what they could have done with the idea nor did they try very hard to ensure that the plot made sense. ...».
