Vampiress Review: "Witchcraft 7: Judgement Hour"

The Gist: A couple of cops are put on a case when a young girl dies of mysterious circumstances at a party that ends up being the work of a vampire. 

 

Female Vampire Factor:  The film starts with a vampire biting a girl name Rachel (Ashley Rhey) after sex.  

Her friend finds her and calls an ambulance where she's rushed to the hospital and is eventually pronounced dead.  She doesn't stay that way as while the main detectives are looking her over she wakes up, manhandles both and runs off. 

She ends up running down a street in her hospital gown and passes a guy.  They end up having sex in the bushes which is where she fangs out and bites him. 

The detectives happen to drive past seeing this and went after her.  Once again she makes short work of them until Will Spanner (the main character of the series up to this point) puts a tree branch in her heart killing her. 

The next female vampire we see is Will's wife Kelly.  Throughout the film she's pretty moody, nagging Will one second and screwing him the next. 

One night while Will is on the phone with one of the detectives the vampire flies into his room and bites Kelly.

Will eventually gets back in bed with her which is when the vampire takes control of her telepathically.  She then flips out, scratching his chest and licking the blood off of him.

When he sees she's fanging out he punches her out then ties her up. 

The movie ends with the vampire after being staked by Will going back to Kelly and asking her to take the stake out.  She instead pushes it further in killing him.

Final Opinion: Despite this film being labeled "The Final Chapter" it absolutely wasn't and also wasn't the last of the Witchcraft series that dealt with vampires.  This one is pretty cheesy with especially cheap looking effects well beyond the rubber fangs.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 3 out of 5 as at least the sex scenes are decent.  Witchcraft X was a much better vampire film in the series which I reviewed HERE.

Vampiress Review: "Vinopiri: Ledena Trgatev" (Winepires: Ice Harvest)

The Gist: Local authorities are placed on a case in which drunks are being found dead at night drained of blood which ends up being the work of vampires who must consume blood deluded by alcohol. 

Female Vampire Factor:  The first victim was a young girl named Mija.  She had gotten drunk one night after her boyfriend dumped her and her best friend Teja took her out to help her forget him.

  When Teja leaves her to use the bathroom she comes back to find Mija dead and drained of blood. 

Of course being a vampire film she proceeds to come back fangs and all (once vampires are turned here they always look like vampires) and cruises bars for victims. This only after feeding and turning the coroner who seemingly tried to molest her corpse off screen and murdering the guy who dumped her and decapitating the girl he left her for. 

Eventually she goes back to visit Teja with the classic outside the window "let me in, I'm just a cold damsel in distress" vampire scene.

 Obviously it was a successful reunion as the next time we see Teja she's also a Winepire and haunting one of the male police officers in his thoughts and hypnotizing him. 

In the films finale the female protagonist cop Nina tracks down the head vampire and it just so happens that he has his eye romantically on her (he haunts her similar to the way Teja haunts her partner/lover to the point she starts playing with herself in a scene before snapping out of it).  She doesn't fall for it like he did and ends up killing the master vampire but not before being bit by Mija (who Nina then kills).

At the end of the film you see Nina as well as the female bartender at the establishment the police were hanging out at before the battle have been turned and are planning on embracing their new gift together.

Final Opinion: This is a Slovanian film which is a sequel to another film which explains how the winepires came to be (winemakers using a wine/blood mixture to take control of people). I can't give the film more than a Vampire Beauty Rating of 3 out of 5.  The concept is very good but the execution of the film concentrates too much on the dysfunctional lives of the cops on the case so the actual vampire stuff is really in the background.  In other words you spend way more time learning about how hostile Nina is with everyone she knows than anything about the vampires.  Had the movie been centered around the vampirism it would have been an easy 4 or 5.  

Vampiress Review: "Vinopiri: Krvni davek" (Winepires: Blood Tool)

 

The Gist:  When her girlfriend goes missing and members of her family are found dead a woman goes on to investigate whats going on just to find out her town has been overtaken by a vampire who is controlling everyone with wine diluted with her blood. 

Female Vampire Factor:  The main antagonist of the film is the vampiress Ana (Rebeka Kopcic)

She really doesn't have that much to do with most of the movie until the reveal that she's been spreading her vampire blood around and controlling the wine makers of the town.  Other than that her on screen time is basically flirting with a guy named Kristjan and using him as her own personal sex toy and blood bag. 

She is the only female vampire in the film that shows fangs.  The other two assumed vampires in the film include a female wine maker named Nastja (Natasa Baveb)

and finally the movies main protagonist Eva (Tea Melin) who seems to foil our vampire villainous by dating her for a few years before poisoning her and killing her.  It's hinted that she has been turned by Ana when Ana offers to bring an Italian guy to feed on during this scene.

Final Opinion: The film is pretty decent until that stinker of a rushed ending. It's not that the concept of Eva swerving Ana is a bad one but how it's executed was just terrible.  You get a pretty well done would be finale of Eva infiltrating a ceremony where the vampires were going to sacrifice her girlfriend  and Ana sending her minions after her with Eva taking them all out but then all of a sudden Ana asks for a truce and you get the above scene of the two on vacation.  If the film was going to end that way then honestly the Krisjan character shouldn't have been in it (whose relationship with Ana takes up a good portion of the film) and the movie should have had the Eva/Ana relationship play out on screen where Eva embraces her vampirism while continuing to plan her revenge on Ana for killing her family and friends.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 2 out of 5.  It's a good film overall otherwise but the ending definitely takes you out of it.
