Charlotte is of that line and both she and we get the full story from the wise woman’s descendant Daciana (Keegan Connor Tracy). 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. 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). She is a vampire called Sorina (Claire Smithies). Into the wound she pours blood (later revealed to be vampire blood). She places a cross in the woman’s hand and then cuts into her arm with a knife. A wise woman (Maya Massar) dismounts from the horse and enters the home. A horse gallops across the landscape as a woman is held down on a table. Other than that the background, lore and plotting are all new. 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). In many respects, however, this is not really a remake.

Thus this remake did not have a lot to live up to.

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.
