      Audience Member I wasted my time watching... It gets annoying Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotional movie. A lot of people can relate to I'm sure. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This film desperately wants to be a cross between THE HUNGER, COUNTESS DRACULA and all of the lesbian vampire movies by Jean Rollin but fails to be suspenseful, scary or sexy. For its subject matter it has way too little actual nudity. But it wasn't entirely boring either. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle There's no camp in this vamp; the lady, and the film, is a tramp. Rated: 0/4 Sep 2, 2005 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times That the acting is stilted and that the filmmakers and especially Pla take themselves so seriously serves to make Eternal deliriously silly camp fare. Rated: 1/5 Sep 1, 2005 Full Review James Berardinelli ReelViews 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. Rated: 2/4 Sep 1, 2005 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International You watch this brain-dead film in a similar state yourself, until its culmination at--where else?--the cheesiest of masked balls. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Jeremy C. Fox Pajiba 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.
