There's no camp in this vamp; the lady, and the film, is a tramp. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times Sep 1, 2005
1/5
That the acting is stilted and that the filmmakers and especially Pla take themselves so seriously serves to make Eternal deliriously silly camp fare. Go to Full Review David Edelstein Slate Aug 29, 2005
Perfect for watching on video on a cool Cape Cod night, but maybe not so arousing in an arthouse for 10 bucks and change. Go to Full Review David Noh Film Journal International Mar 1, 2007
You watch this brain-dead film in a similar state yourself, until its culmination at--where else?--the cheesiest of masked balls. Go to Full Review Jeremy C. Fox Pajiba Jul 18, 2006
If you've ever lain awake at night wondering what might happen if someone were to combine the porny misogyny of Joe Eszterhas with the blood-soaked eroticism of Anne Rice, you can now rest easy; Eternal provides your answer. Go to Full Review Film Threat Dec 6, 2005

Nando S @RT64594336 Oct 19, 2024 For fans of vampires and vampirism and those who know the story (legend) of Elizabeth Bathory, this is a delight. It tells the story of an immortal Bathory living in the present day. Good taste, luxury, sensuality, luxurious settings, eroticism... in short, a delightful fable with a sensual and beautiful vampire. For non-fans, well, it's difficult. See more Jan 13, 2022 I wasted my time watching... It gets annoying See more Nov 9, 2021 This latest MCU newcomer goes beyond what is typically offered by Marvel, hence why audiences and critics are divided. It is flawed, yet stays true to its premise. It is not an action movie, as it is more grounded and humble in its presentation of its theme - mainly that of very human instinct of protection, love and choice. At the end of it all, this film has a quiet, melancholic undertone that can only be felt upon reflection after watching the movie, rather than invoking it superficially during the screening. For any MCU fans, this is still a must see for those who love to go deeper into the MCU's ever-expanding lore. See more Jun 10, 2015 Emotional movie. A lot of people can relate to I'm sure. See more Aug 29, 2012 Apparently the bad reviews this film gets kept the writers/directors/producers from ever getting another credit to their names. This is actually too bad as I found the movie to be quite stylistic at times, containing one of the coolest scenes of all-time (the cover shot) as well as some highly-charged erotica. And, in the middle, it actually felt a bit like a horror. The trailer is lame. See more May 28, 2012 Okay. this goes on the list of Worst Films I've Ever Seen. Why did I want t isee this? Because it was supposed to be about Erzbet Bathory. Horrible. Worse than horrible. And what did they guy say? A Polish Family? Hello! Hungarian! Someone didn't do homework. That painting was awful, too. And murdering them by pricking them in the neck? And biting? Also, most of these girls were clearly not virgins. What a waste. The only thing on screen was betrayal and lust. Maybe someday, someone will make a REAL film about Erzbet. See more Read all reviews
