Somewhere in the world, there's a strip club that employs a couple of hot vampire chicks named Sugar and Spyce. They belong to a small clan, including themselves and their leader Morella. Also in their immediate family is Marvin, an ex lover of Morella's who she turned into a prehistoric human (which looks like like a half bird/half reptile) after he betrayed her. There's a little something about bloodsucking that I never knew: the first bite, the first draw of blood is called the Primal Blood, and it is supposed to carry the soul of the victim. Legends say that if a vampire can feast on the Primal Blood of 10,000 victims, he or she will become ruler of all vampires. This is Morella's plan, and she is only three victims away from completing it. But Sugar's concerned boyfriend and a wee little vampire hunter just might thwart that plan.
I liked this one mostly because of Marvin. That little thing was pretty funny. There's a lot of sex in this one, so don't let the little ones watch it with you. Marvin even has a couple of
hilarious sex scenes. They're hilarious to me, but probably pretty gross to most other people. There's a little bit of action, decent acting, and a pretty good storyline. There's a little bit of romance shoved in there for good measure, and it's also a revenge story. Babes, vampires, and monsters. Sounds pretty good on paper, right? Sadly it didn't deliver to the full potential that the story offered. It was okay, but it could have been a lot better. The final battle was disappointing and anticlimactic, and there just wasn't quite enough blood for a vampire movie - for my tastes, anyhow. It was on an 8-pack from Wal-Mart, though, so I didn't expect anything mind-blowing. I went into it knowing it wouldn't be extremely great, so I came out of it fairly entertained. It was good for a few laughs, but not much else.
