![]() That’s pretty much the whole of the threadbare ‘plot’ and to tell the truth less than 12 hours later I’ve completely forgotten who survives at the end. So Lizzie takes her revenge by killing the Mayor’s wayward daughter and framing Jack, but is interrupted by vampire hunter Van (John Maryland) and Jen’s ex Peter. Lizzie, who says she is 2,800 years old, was evidently Galen’s lover but has now taken up with Jack, who shows Jennifer the ways of vampires and in so doing falls for her. When not supping blood, they drink an odd-looking blue liquid which is 'pure haematin', and they live in a palatial penthouse apartment which is supposedly directly above the industrial grime of the nightclub alley entrance. They take enough blood to make the victims forget (and even come back to Pulsate again) but not enough to kill them. The set-up seems to be that Jack and Lizzie - who are of course bloodsuckers - pick their favourites off the dancefloor, take them to a back room and have sex before biting them. Next door is a goth nightclub called Pulsate which is owned by sexy couple Jack Connor (Tristen Couer d’Alene - no, honestly - with an extraordinary sort-of-English-sort-of-Irish accent) and Lizzie (Catalina Larranaga). She dumps him and, after a sympathy shag, moves to LA where she sets up home in Galen’s apartment, an extraordinary ultra-modern place where all the walls are made of one-meter-square metal plates. Jennifer is now played by Renee Rea with Sean Vossler as her boyfriend Peter, who has no idea she has recently become a vampire. The only connection between the two films seems to be that ETD2 screenwriter April White was production co-ordinator on ETD1 - which is pretty tenuous! The first Embrace the Darkness (which I haven’t seen) was a 1998 Playboy/Mystique production in which vampire Galen (Kevin Spirtas: The Hills Have Eyes II, Friday the 13th Part VII, Subspecies II and III) seduced and vampirised artist Jennifer Slane (Madison Clark, a dancer in From Dusk Till Dawn) before committing suicide. Cast: Renee Rea, Sean Vossler, Catalina Larranaga, Tristen Couer d’AleneĪs an ‘erotic vampire thriller’, this DTV sequel scores one out of three because it is at least about vampires.
