Love Bites (2001)

Starring International cult icon Asia Argento! Asia starred in and directed Scarlet Diva, and co-starred with Vin Diesel in XXX. Antonio makes his living off others, sleeping at his friend's health club, borrowing money, and crashing parties. But he finds himself working overtime when a wealthy club owner, Von Bulow hires him to track down the elusive Jordan, who is thought to be a real Vampire. All Antonio knows is that Jordan lives by the night, but he soon finds that information about Jordan doesn't come without a price, and the company he keeps can bleed him to death.

Asia is hot, but the rest of the movie is only so-so

A guy is offered a lot of money to track down the elusive "Jordan." Along the way he runs into Jordan's sister and a bunch of trouble.

This movie was ok. The dvd cover was very vague about the plot so I wasn't sure if I should expect it to be a vampire movie, a mystery movie or both. As it turns out, the movie is just an intrigue/mystery. The vampirism is minimal at best.

They really tried to keep the audience interested by having this poor guy go through some bizarre ordeals. Some of them were interesting, others were kind of boring. A big plus is that Asia Argento is pretty hot in this flick. Also the way the main charactor lives and cons/mooches is kind of interesting. If you enjoy movies with a lot of bar/night club scenes, you'll probably enjoy this film.

Love bites is more like a love tap

You would think the cover of this movie would give someone the inclination that it would be the least bit interesting, or even the title would give someone that opinion, but watching this movie made me want to fall asleep. The supposed vampires in it were maybe seen for two scenes, and they were pretty terrible at that. Some of the acting was ok, but for the most part the movie was called. It didn't give the vampire genre any justice. I would say watch this if you obviously have nothing better to do, but do not buy it, I repeat do not buy it. Rent it from the video store, you will see why once you watch it. September 23, 2005
