Characters
editMark R. Leeper writes that "Néron's exotic lesbian vampire" in Eternal (2004) "is reminiscent of Dracula's Daughter, though her assistant and victim-procurer Irina (Victoria Sanchez) is much less powerful than Sandor was in the earlier film".[1]
Production run
editThe film premiered in Canada in September 2004.[2]
Reception
editMark R. Leeper gives the film a 6/10, concluding that the film is "polished, sexy, and entertaining, and the art direction is its best aspect. But it is not a film that will stick with the viewer. It is too similar to films like Jack's Back (about Jack the Ripper returning) and several others".[1]
