****1/2 stars

Here is the first of our two Halloween specials we promised you for your entertainment and enjoyment for the holiday.  This is our original review from 2014 when this DVD was released.

This European production will fill the bill very nicely for the Halloween theme. It is a very sexy, steamy tale of the supernatural that presents a very different way of family life. Definitely not the Addams family, but this family certainly has some serious issues that need to be settled. It is a full European production with some great locales and high end production values to tie into this nicely done effort and also offers up some very hardcore sex scenes throughout the film.

From the opening frame with the credits you know you are in for a very dramatic story. The opening scene shows an older gentleman looking at family photos. On the desk in front of him is a gun and a camcorder. He speaks into the camcorder recording what may be his last message. Then it switches back to two weeks earlier and we see a woman (Viktoria Redd) primping herself and when she smiles she reveals herself as a vampire. She enters a room with two henchmen of hers where three men are sipping wine and waiting for her. They get up and slowly begin to take her over. But instead she turns the tables and takes them over as the henchmen stand by and watch everything that goes on.It is one very wild, steamy, hot, sizzling scene as she takes on all three in every way possible with explosive results. When she has finished with them, leaving them drained, she and the henchmen drain them some more as they bite the necks of the men, suck their blood and leave.

Now we go back to the older man and his siblings. They are all sitting around a table as they try to find his stepdaughter Corona’s birth mother, his ex wife Samantha. At this point the film takes on a narrative from the gentleman explaining the relationship of Corona (Ferrera Gomez) and the other siblings and what it has done to this tight knit family. Corona gets the last known address of her birth mother and goes in search of her. In the dark of night she finds her place and is greeted by the two henchmen we saw in the first scene. They bring Corona into the living room and waste no time initiating her into this strange supernatural world. She is at first taken aback by their actions but quickly succumbs to their advance. This becomes another wild, no holes barred sex scene with Corona becoming quickly enthusiastic over all that is happening to her. When the two men have finished with her, stepmother Samantha appears in the room with a sly smile and things will now become very different for Corona.

There are some very good twists and turns as this story unfolds and what happens to this entire family under the spell of Samantha. However, at this point I won’t reveal anymore and let you discover and enjoy this for yourself. It is chilling and it is very sexual. The cinematography is exceptional as are the locales, settings and visuals. The haunting and pulsating music adds to the overall story and what takes place from one scene to the next. The cast is excellent and the film is very well paced as the narrative works well in explaining what has taken place. The sex scenes are very well choreographed and provide some excellent camera angles while providing plenty of sizzling action with a lot of variety and combinations.

This is a very solid European production from Private geared to couples. For a very hot and sexy Halloween treat I recommend “My Stepmother is a Vampire”.
