Tutto sembra scorrere bene per la protagonista fino a quando inizia ad avere visioni inquietanti, incubi e sogni di desideri proibiti. Non riuscendo più a vivere giorni tranquilli, Charlotte viene aiutata da una strega e scopre di essere tormentata da un antico vampiro».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - allmovie.com - cinemasentries.com - bluray.highdefdigest.com - popmatters.com - rottentomatoes.com - facebook.com - solarmovie.tl - abandomoviez.net - taliesinttlg.blogspot.it: «The original Embrace of the Vampire was a rather disappointing film, known more for offering sight of Alyssa Milano’s boobs than for its vampiric content. Thus this remake did not have a lot to live up to. In many respects, however, this is not really a remake. Other than the fact that it follows a sexually inactive/repressed girl called Charlotte (Sharon Hinnendael) attending college and drawing the interest of a vampire (and having a quick lesbian encounter). Other than that the background, lore and plotting are all new. The film begins in Bucovina in 1735. A horse gallops across the landscape as a woman is held down on a table. A wise woman (Maya Massar) dismounts from the horse and enters the home. She places a cross in the woman’s hand and then cuts into her arm with a knife. Into the wound she pours blood (later revealed to be vampire blood). We hear that *she* is coming. She is a vampire called Sorina (Claire Smithies). The two women have vanished and Sorina takes her rage out on a man left to harry her, his name being Stefan (Victor Webster, Mutant X). So what was going on? Later we discover that the girl was Sorina’s daughter and to save her from the vampire they performed a ritual that mingled the blood of the vampire with the human, making her (and her line) a dhampir. Charlotte is of that line and both she and we get the full story from the wise woman’s descendant Daciana (Keegan Connor Tracy). Now I wasn’t going to spoil who the modern day vampire is, though he has a name and a purpose. However the artwork for the film kind of gives it away and so it is Stefan, who is now going by the name Cole. ...».
