| Summary: |
Meet Jake Hunter (Tom Wagner). He's young, he's cute and he fancies himself as the very model of a modern-day fearless vampire killer. Together with Lesley (Christopher Ladd), his reluctant sidekick, Jake sets out to tackle his greatest challenge ever - the West Hollywood Count (Kevin M. Glover)! |
But when the ghoul of his nightmares turns out to be the dashing hunk of his dreams, Jake discovers that there's more to this case than he counted on. Putting a novel, sexy twist on the Transylvanian myth, LOVE BITES combines comedy and eroticism in a fabulous gothic gay romance.

short review: This film about a vampiric count and a vampire hunter novice who fall in love with each other was shot on a very low budget, but is very ambitioned and funny as hell! It'll probably offend homophobes and people who take vampires too serious, but it is a very entertaining departure from the average vampire-movie standards. Besides, it has been voted as Best softcore film of the year 1989 by Advocate Men.  |
