Trying to help their relationship, a couple heads to a house in the hills to visit several friends who are keen to start initiating them into an openly free sexual relationship which causes him to be far more hesitant of following through with their ideas which hold a dark agenda.
For the most part, this was a problematic erotic horror effort. Among the best elements here come from the main setup that tries to paint a solid picture of the relationship between the couple at the center of everything. As this starts off with the early sexual issues that emerge involving her wanting and being willing to explore other avenues that he's not as excited to go through despite every other aspect being quite fine, this starts up giving a great avenue to exploit and weasel around for the vampire's benefit. The couple's introduction into the society comes off nicely with his more restrained approach compared to her open-minded acceptance of the free-spirited sex that runs through the group that we get to see from the interactions at the mansion. Given plenty of nudity and open sexual shenanigans on display, it's the best element here. There are some big issues here that bring it down. The biggest factor with this one is the focus on sexual shenanigans at the expense of the horror as it takes so long to get going in that regard that it's possible to forget what type of feature it really is. It spends so much time trying to make him comfortable with the sexually open mindset and get comfortable with the situation or going through inane sexual conversations about performance and tactics that it feels more like an erotic drama rather than a genre effort. The idea is there but it stops being interesting when the only hint that something's wrong are brief eye-flashes showing their crimson status to where it feels like a gag to a punchline rather than a genuine aspect of this one. As there are no traditional aspects of the genre explored here and it could be removed without disrupting the story, it comes off as rather disappointing in that regard. That ties nicely into the other real issue with this one in that there's not much here actually in-depth on the vampire nature of the characters. As we've already noticed the sunlight doesn't bother them, the means of transference is a rather confusing one with the rules not quite explained regarding how they operate. That goes even moreso for how the final twist involving the purpose for everything coming together and getting revealed for them, bringing about a confusing and twisted series of logic that has a very high risk of failure that is immensely difficult to believe has a chance of working. Trying to change it around by not giving off a true vampiric backstory but one that's close enough is a flimsy excuse, making for such weak reasoning that there's barely anything about it that feels natural or realistic. Alongside the weak low-budget feel and approach, there are some big issues here.
