Vampire truisms vary from movie to movie. In this version, a female vampire named Countess (Lauren Hutton) needs to suck the blood of a virgin male three separate times before Halloween in order to stay youthful. Mark Kendall (Jim Carrey) is the object of her appetite as he's been sexually thwarted by his girlfriend for four years. Mark and his GF, Robin (Karen Kopins), are the sweetest throwbacks. They look and sound like they stepped right out of a 50's sitcom. Mark was an "awe shucks" away from being Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver.
This ridiculously unamusing movie shows Mark as the dedicated boyfriend that is afraid of the woman that's heavily pursuing him. He's nothing more than a square, scared, high schooler who is way out of his element with any woman.
The movie conjured up one dumb scenario after another while Mark was slowly transforming after being bitten. Would he be bit three times or will he be able to escape the vampiress? It's nothing real compelling. I didn't care one way or the other. If he was bitten three times he's a virgin vampire and has to change his sleeping habits. If he avoided the three bites then he could lead his straight and narrow life and maybe even finally score with his girlfriend. I had no interest in either outcome.
