Embrace of the Vampire is a 1995 vampire film famous mostly for Alyssa Milano's frequent nude scenes. It was rated R by the MPAA for strong sexuality, and for violence and language. A more graphic version (which is 1 minute longer than the rated R version) which is not rated is also available in North America.
Many people criticized the movie as an excuse for Milano to shed her "good girl" image. Others rushed to see the movie because of that.[citation needed]
It was filmed in Faribault, Minnesota, US.

[edit] Plot
Charlotte is a "chaste" good girl who is having some very bad dreams about sex. Her dreams are the only place where her dream lover is a dark, handsome vampire; however, that is a bit of a dilemma for her real-life boyfriend, who's not quite as fascinating as the vampire dream boy. Charlotte is given the choice between staying with her life as she knows it, or becoming a part of the vampire's world. There is also the usual struggle between such opposing entities as Charlotte sees she also has to not only choose between her boyfriend and her mysterious nighttime visitor, but also between light and dark, and good and evil. In the end, after briefly kissing Milo and being interrupted by Eliza, the campus slut (who was killed by the vampire by banging her head against the wall, then licking the blood from the wall), she ends up having the dream one last time. This time, the vampire is telling her to come to him, as he believes there is nothing left for her here (on earth). After some dream scenes, finally, Charlotte is in the tower with the vampire. Chris (her boyfriend) is there, but the vampire pushes Chris away, and is about to put the bite on her when she utters Chris' name; he at first tells her not to think of Chris and instead think of himself and her as a couple. Then, after Charlotte utters Chris's name again, the vampire then says she can't take his life to the eternal life, and disappears. Charlotte and Chris wake up in the morning and kiss, and the vampire dies while laying in a sunbeam.
