Synopsis: When the wife of Montreal vice cop Raymond Pope disappears, the trail leads him to the home of Elizabeth Kane, a disturbingly beautiful woman who taunts him with information, but denies him any... When the wife of Montreal vice cop Raymond Pope disappears, the trail leads him to the home of Elizabeth Kane, a disturbingly beautiful woman who taunts him with information, but denies him any answers. A dangerous game of cat and mouse ensues as Pope's investigation reveals that while Elizabeth, along with her servant, Irina, have no documented history, they seem bizarrely connected to the past - particularly that of Erszebet Bathory, the Transylvanian countess who murdered 650 women in order to bathe in their blood. The closer Pope gets, the more sadistic Elizabeth becomes, systematically targeting those around him and framing him for their murders. Unsure if the rumours are true that Elizabeth is the Countess made immortal or if she is simply a demonic killer obsessed with bloodbaths, he makes the ultimate leap of confrontation. Based on real-life events and inspired by the look and feel of classic film-noir and the tastefully terrifying storytelling of Hitchcock, ETERNAL's blend of suspense, horror and perverse romanticism walks delicately between reality, fantasy and possible supernatural phenomena. -- © Regent Releasing [More]

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.

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.

Lush, lurid and completely besotted with itself, Eternal is one of those movies normally found slinking around the ether of late-night cable television.

Real scares are few, in part because the major characters are unsympathetic.

Tame and cheesy even by the modest standards of the genre, Eternal needs all the intellectual trappings it can find.
