Lush, lurid and completely besotted with itself, "Eternal" is one of those movies normally found slinking around the ether of late-night cable television. A heady combination of kink and bloodletting, the film claims inspiration from the undeniably intriguing life of Erzsebet Bathory, a 16th-century Hungarian countess whose anti-aging routine required frequent immersions in young, female blood, a set-up that should guarantee at least a little visual excitement. But "Eternal" is quite possibly the dullest, least sexy lesbian vampire movie I have ever seen...
Straining desperately to be "Interview With the Vampire," "Eternal" succeeds only in being the kind of movie that pauses any time a young hottie feels like dancing in her underwear. By the time we get to a costume ball in Venice, complete with masks remaindered from "Eyes Wide Shut" and a hot tub filled with blood, most of us are more likely to be asleep than aroused. Yet, despite all evidence to the contrary, there is an audience for this film. You know who you are.
