Reviews for Eternal
Hope springs for Eternal, more an erotic character study than an unsightly bloodbath.
08/18/05
It's the multidimensional characterization and dialogue that elevates this film far far above being just a vampire movie with a more literate back-story.
11/06/04
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.
08/30/05
[A] stylishly kinky exercise in blood-soaked eroticism.
08/26/05
Power, obsession, and death; Eternal embraces them all.
08/16/05
Eternal is a red-ripe, overwrought fetish feast that’s sure to entertain fans of the lush, romantisized vampire genre.
08/17/05
It was cooler when it was called Basic Instinct.
09/02/05
Eternal is only occasionally completely stupid...but it's never very bright either.
09/08/05
Tame and cheesy even by the modest standards of the genre, Eternal needs all the intellectual trappings it can find.
08/23/05
Top CriticEternal is the kind of horror movie where the only horror is a misplaced vase.
08/29/05
Half real, half fantasy... not much of Eternal makes any sense at all, and Pope's police work is some of the shoddiest on screen, ever
08/26/05
Perfect for watching on video on a cool Cape Cod night, but maybe not so arousing in an arthouse for 10 bucks and change.
08/29/05
You watch this brain-dead film in a similar state yourself, until its culmination at--where else?--the cheesiest of masked balls.
03/01/07
Real scares are few, in part because the major characters are unsympathetic.
08/25/05
Top CriticRent The Red Shoe Diaries instead.
07/15/05
This oddball mixture of bloodsucking horror and soft-core porn is both objectively terrible and perversely fascinating.
09/04/05
There's no camp in this vamp; the lady, and the film, is a tramp.
09/02/05
It's impossible to overstate the silliness of all this, but it would still be a decent Halloween trick -- if it were Halloween.
08/26/05
Top CriticI 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.
