Not-great but we-watched-it-all-the-way-thru-anyway erotic vampire revenge thriller, directed by the Venezuelan-born Sebastian Gutierrez. Lucy Liu plays an LA Weekly reporter who’s unhappy about having been turned into a vampire, and who sets out to track down the cult that did her wrong. It’s one of those discombobulated movies that seems to have its reels mixed up, but Liu is a weirdly compelling lead performer — not that great an actor and not that good-looking in a conventional sense, but so steely, determined and crazy-seeming that she’s kinkily fascinating to watch anyway. Despite the narrative jumble, the movie has a lot of near-camp-level juiciness and flamboyance (this is a good thing, IMHO); the performers have a great time taking wild chances; a couple of scenes hit some pretty thrilling erotic high notes; and among the film’s supporting actors are Carla Gugino and Cameron Richardson, two of the sexiest, most glamorous performers in today’s Hollywood. Why neither one is a major star is completely beyond me.

• Guttierez has made a couple of scrappy, small-scale camp movies that are a lot like Pedro Almódovar’s high-spirited early comedies: “Women in Trouble” and “Elektra Luxx.” Guttierez has an exuberant visual sense, a love of the irrational and a great rapport with his actresses, who respond with a lot of daring, sensuality, silliness and charm.
