Summary
RATING: Not Rated
Starring Sarah Manninen, Caroline Néron, Victoria Sanchez, Conrad Pla, Ilona Elkin, Nick Baillie, Luke Bélanger, and Liane Balaban
While searching for his missing wife, Detective Raymond Pope happens upon the estate of the mysterious Elizabeth Kane. Unbeknownst to him, it is believed that Elizabeth is the reincarnation of a vampire who, four centuries ago, killed 650 women and bathed in their blood to gain the gift of eternal life. While Pope investigates deeper into Elizabeth's past, he neglects to see how his searching could be the end to him and those he loves. (Regent Releasing)

Film Threat Jeremy Knox
Much of the film rests on the shoulders of Conrad Pla who plays Raymond Pope. He is the focus of the movie and proves himself an excellent leading man.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
A handsome package whose atmospherics outclass merely serviceable plot and character elements.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
There's nothing wrong with formulas when they work, but Eternal is neither scary nor particularly sexy.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
Eternal isn't that bad. Actually, it is. But it's kind of fun, too, in a way only cheesy exploitation films can be fun.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
That the acting is stilted and that the filmmakers and especially Pla take themselves so seriously serves to make Eternal deliriously silly camp fare.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Lush, lurid and completely besotted with itself, Eternal is one of those movies normally found slinking around the ether of late-night cable television.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
The ending doesn't really work, and Pla tends to overplay what's already a larger-than-life character, but Neron is perfect as the striking and cucumber-cool countess.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Fairly sexy and stylish. Alas, it's also quite silly and not especially scary.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jack Mathews
It's impossible to overstate the silliness of all this, but it would still be a decent Halloween trick - if it were Halloween.
Read Full Review >Slate David Edelstein
Turns out to be semi-enjoyable, semi-tacky retelling/updating of the old Elizabeth Bathory legend.
Read Full Review >Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson
Eternal promises kink and delivers next to nothing.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Mark Olsen
As the cop who finds himself in way over his head, kickboxer-turned-actor Conrad Pla turns in a performance of such staggering ineptitude that it almost (key word: almost) reaches a so-bad-it's-good, Plan 9 From Outer Space brilliance.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Ben Kenigsberg
"It is a study of the psychopathologies of perversions," co-director Federico Sanchez says in the press notes for Eternal, which is certainly one way to rationalize a trashy lesbian vampire flick.

Matt gave it a10:
Too hot. Way sexed and crazy stuff. Caroline Neron is awesome as a killer. What's cool about this is that it's a really good mystery and every part of it is good.
Jorja L. gave it a9:
Very powerful portrayal of a very scary woman. This is the best looking film of its genre I have seen in a very long time. The detective is a jerk, but I think that's the point for the payoff. Caroline Neron is amazing as the evil Countess Bathory. Or is it Countess Bathory? One wonders.... go see this for sure!
Mary A. gave it a9:
Absolutely steamy, erotic thriller. Not a campy slasher movie, but a serious cat-and-mouse mystery with a Basic Instinct kind of heat.
john b. gave it a7:
Great looking film. Guilty pleasure.
