A highly intelligent, deftly poetic reimagining of the vampire myth, with the theme of fatal sexuality transferred to a female character. Full Review

A humid and elegant reworking of the vampire myth as an explicit challenge to the limits of the "liberated" couple Full Review

Rating: 1.5/5 -- This is a disappointing horror film from director Stephanie Rothman, whose Terminal Island is one of the more interesting exploitation items from the 1970s. Full Review

It's hard to dislike a movie that strives so hard to offend the vampire fan base. Full Review

It's Yarnall who draws all eyes to her like bugs to bright lights... Full Review

It is to be recommended only if you can see it at the New Amsterdam on 42d Street, where audiences loudly, freely and obscenely associate with the action on the screen. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Climax after climax of terror and desire...where the living change places with the dead. - Considered to be a cult horror classic, follow "THE VELVET VAMPIRE" as sleepy-eyed nice guy Lee Ritter and his vapid but pretty wife, Susan, accept the invitation of mysterious vixen Diane LeFanu (Celeste Yarnall) to visit her secluded desert estate. Tensions arise when the couple, unaware that Diane is really a centuries-old vampire, become objects of the pale skinned temptress' seductions. She kills one and hunts down the other until the Velvet Vampire falls from grace.

SOFT EXQUISITE HELL!!! Movie Lover: from PARIS, TEXAS -- October, 19, 2008

This film is the visual equivalent of the Eagles classic "Hotel California". Dionysian decadence and sybaritic splendour abound. The Velvet vamp's body is an NC-17 playground, oh but there's peril in this pleasure, in the honeyed contours of her flash fire flesh. Sliding boards and monkey bars, uh no...
how about stiletto sharp stakes and garlic necklaces for every lucky gent!
