Vampiress Review: "Vampire Warriors"

The Gist:  A vampire slayer must save her vampire best friend and her family from a vampire who feeds on other vampires.

Clarifications:  So the main character of the film is a girl named Ar.  Ar is a vampire slayer but she only kills vampires that harm humans which explains her close "friendship" with a vampiress named Max (quotes because the alternate title to this film is "Lesbian Vampire Warriors").  Max and her family are vegetarian vampires which in this case means they only feed on animal blood so they are no danger to humans (though they do wonder what it's like occasionally including a scene where they get hungry over smelling a womans period). 

One day a vampire comes to town named Mung who only feeds on other vampires.  This is fine and dandy until Mung sets his sites on Max and her family and Ar will and does do anything to protect Max. This film fits into the martial arts/horror comedy genre.

Selling Point: Pretty much every female in the film is a vampire.

Female Vampire Factor: The main female vamp in the film is Max (Chrissie Chau)

Due to her being a vegetarian vampire her and her family vamp out the least if at all.  Basically it only happens when she's angry toward the films end.

So (Pinky Cheung)

Ar's sister who was a vampire hunter until Mung turned her and has held her captive.

Spoiler Alert

Ar (Luxia Jang)

In order to defeat Mung, Ar convinces Max to turn her in order to make it an even fight.

On top of those there are several nameless vamps, mostly of the evil kind that make appearances in order to be either Stake Fodder for Ar or a meal for Mung.

I don't have too many complaints about this film so it gets a Vampire Beauty Rating of 5 out of 5.  It's a martial arts film first and a horror last (if you can even call it that) but it works.

Vampiress Review: "Vampire Girls"

The Gist: A year after a man named Seiji's fiance disappears he seems to have found her now living as a prostitute.  Little does he know she's now a vampire.

Clarification:  Not much more to it.  It's a story of lost love.  The story is very reminiscent of one of the vampire episodes of Friday the 13th the series. 

Selling Point: The best part is that vampires in this film are indeed vampires. IE creatures to be feared so no Twilight style pandering. 

Female Vampire Factor:  The girl who goes missings name is Yumi played by Minori Hatsuni.

The bulk of the movie is Yumi seducing men and then biting them.  She was a sweet girl and very dedicated to Seiji until she was sexually assaulted and a female vampire bit her when she was attempted suicide. 

The Vampire who bit her was Luna

Luna is very attached to Yumi similar to the way Lestat is attached to Louis in Interview with the Vampire.  This makes life very dangerous for Seiji as she's always very close by when he sees her and is purposely trying to keep them apart.

I give this film a Vampire Beauty Rating of 5 out of 5.  It is a vampire horror movie with a love story element not a love story that happens to be about vampires.  When a hot woman is on screen someone is going to get bitten.

Vampiress XXX Review: "The Vampire Woman"

The Gist:  A female vampire takes in a school girl who she seduces and feeds on.

Clarification:  This is the first lesbian Japanese Adult Video with a vampire theme that I've seen that seems to try to be a legitimate film.  The film places importance on the story just as much as it does the sex as opposed to sex scenes with story as a time filler.  The film revolves around a school girl played by Nagomi

Similar to Charlie Brewster in the original Fright Night 2 she is constantly haunted by dreams and fantasies of the woman who has taken her in.  Those fantasies usually end in her being bitten and the bite marks are usually very real.

Selling Point:  Lesbian Sex of course.

Female Vampire Factor:  The Main Vampire is played by Serina Hayakawa.

Unlike the majority of the JAV vampire movies I've seen this vampire actually spends most of the film seducing her intended target.  As mentioned above the film is mostly scenes of her hypnotizing and then molesting her young victim just for the victim to wake up in her bed with a jolt as if she was having a nightmare.   As far as fangs go you only see them twice in the film.  Once at the very beginning to establish she's a vampire and once at the end when she sinks her teeth into Nagomi for the final time so it is a build up and not a fang fetish film.

If I do have a complaint it's that they don't really play up Serina's sexiness.  The story revolves around the school girl but as mentioned Serina's character is very much like Regine Dandradge from the original Fright Night 2 and in that film she had many scenes to play up how seductive she was to understand why Charlie was obsessed.  We don't really see Serina doing anything truly sexy outside the one masturbation sequence.  Everything else happens during the "dream sequences".  Otherwise I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 4 out of 5. 

Vampiress Review: "Vampire In Love"

The Gist:  A young vampire girl struggles with her feelings for the human boy she grew up with.

Clarification: Yes it's a vampire romance BUT it's actually a very entertaining one mainly because the vampires in it are actually vampires (not moody teenagers).  They have fangs, they feed and they have vampire related problems which this film centers around including but not limited to the fact that they recommend to the young girl that the Dracula method is the best way to take a human lover (IE stalk him, turn him and he has no choice but to stay with you).

Kiiara (the main vampire in the film)  also has the problem of being the object of the affection of an evil vampire that wants her for himself.  This brings some action elements to the film specifically the last half hour or so.

Selling Point: Good enough mix of romance, comedy and action that the film doesn't get boring.

Female Vampire Factor:  The main protagonist of the film Kiira is played by Mirei Kiritana.

With the exception of the blood lust, vampires in this universe can live generally like humans since they can exist in daytime.  They do have to avoid silver, garlic and must be invited in to enter homes but they also have the ability to erase peoples memories and teleport.   Because of this the struggle Kiira has in the film is strictly because she cares enough to no want to force the life on him.

Basically you get a lot of her holding her vampire side back as best as she can throughout the films beginning.

 The film is pretty much reverse Japanese Twilight with a personality and not drawn out over several movies.  If you're not into sappy films stay clear but it's not bad at all.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 3 out of 5.  She fangs out a few times throughout the movie just not enough to give it a score higher than that but still enjoyable.
