There's no camp in this vamp; the lady, and the film, is a tramp.
That the acting is stilted and that the filmmakers and especially Pla take themselves so seriously serves to make Eternal deliriously silly camp fare.
I wouldn't recommend this for theatrical viewing, but as late night cable fare, it's an acceptable way for an insomniac to pass two hours.
Perfect for watching on video on a cool Cape Cod night, but maybe not so arousing in an arthouse for 10 bucks and change.
Quite silly and not especially scary.
It's impossible to overstate the silliness of all this, but it would still be a decent Halloween trick -- if it were Halloween.
You watch this brain-dead film in a similar state yourself, until its culmination at--where else?--the cheesiest of masked balls.
But for all its exposed skin, the film's pulse is hard to find.
Neron and Pla look like porn stars and have about the same level of acting ability.
...this whole production might as well just be a music video featuring everything Elizabeth from lusting for blood to bathing in it and the process involved.
ETERNAL is a sexy and stylish horror thriller from Canada that unfortunately seems to be re-treading all-too-familiar territory. It gets points for its lavish production design, but very little for originality or real horror.
Eternal is only occasionally completely stupid...but it's never very bright either.
This oddball mixture of bloodsucking horror and soft-core porn is both objectively terrible and perversely fascinating.
the photography only creates a sense of suspense that something worth seeing may eventually appear
It was cooler when it was called Basic Instinct.
Conrad Pla turns in a performance of such staggering ineptitude that it almost (key word: almost) reaches a so-bad-it's-good, Plan 9 From Outer Space brilliance.
A desperate cop is in over his head under the spell of a reincarnated lesbian vampire with great hair.
Just by being true to the legend, as if Erszebet had truly lived, Eternal is an interesting work, an erotic thriller with a supernatural bent.
