Bordello of Blood

Plot synopsis:
Vincent (Phil Fondacaro) and his associates explore a forest, until they find a cave containing a coffin with the skeleton of Lilith, mother of all vampires. Vincent takes a box out of his pocket, which contains the four sections of her heart. He puts it in her body, and she rapidly begins reanimating. Revived, she rips the hearts out of the associates and goes after Vincent, who produces the key artifact seen in Demon Knight. Vincent then explains that the artifact from "Demon Knight" and the blood within it allows him to have full control over her. Vincent then turns to Lilith and asks her if he allows her to eat the last associate would she then behave. She replies "Anything for you, lover".
The Crypt Keeper is having lunch with the Mummy (William Sadler), who is boring him about film industry life. The Mummy challenges the Crypt Keeper to a contest of rock, paper, scissors which the Mummy wins, and he slices off the Keeper's hand with a meat cleaver. The Crypt Keeper laughs (as it didn't hurt him at all) and the Mummy gets ready for the next round. The Crypt Keeper addresses the audience, and the movie continues.
Catherine Verdoux (Erika Eleniak) lives with her delinquent brother Caleb (Corey Feldman). He goes out one night against her wishes and, while hanging at a bar, is informed of a secret brothel in the guise of a funeral home by an odd man named Jenkins (Kim Kondrashoff). Caleb and his friend Reggie (Matt Hill) go to check it out, where they do indeed find the information true (albeit forced by the mortician McCutcheon (Aubrey Morris). Unknown to them however, it's run by the fully regenerated Lilith (Angie Everhart). All the women there are vampires turned by Lilith, completely evil, lustful and subservient to her. Lilith uses them for both business and to lure food. Reggie is taken by Tallulah (Juliet Reagh) and Caleb is taken by Patrice (Leslie Ann Phillips), each for a private session in which Lilith visits them both as the prostitutes prepare to drain their blood. Reggie is killed when Lilith kisses him and extends her tongue down his throat to push his heart out of his body. She promptly rips it out and eats it afterwards. Lilith then sets her sights on Caleb. As she offers a three-way, the screen fades to black as she growls ominously.
A week later, Catherine asks the police to look for Caleb to no avail, so she reluctantly hires Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller), a cynical and sarcastic P.I. whose office is an old adult movie theater, to look for Caleb. After getting the names of Caleb's friends from Catherine, Rafe tracks Caleb's trail to the bar where he finds them playing pool. One of them directs him to the funeral home. At his first visit (during the day), it appears to be just a funeral home, complete with a funeral in progress. He meets Catherine at her job working for the Reverend J. C. Current (Chris Sarandon) and tells her Caleb went to a whorehouse. She thanks him for his help and dismisses him. He returns to the bar, where he runs into Jenkins, who gives Rafe the same info he told Caleb and his friends, and Rafe revisits the funeral home that night. He is denied access the first time as the brothel is closed for the night, so he sneaks in and discovers that the money and other valuables from the clients visiting the brothel are put towards Current's organization which is being used as a front for their shady dealings. Rafe also passes by Lilith interviewing a woman, Tamara (Kiara Hunter), whom Vincent recommended for a job. At first, Rafe dismisses it as nothing, but as he continues snooping, he hears Tamara scream followed by a body hitting the floor, however he has to leave before he can look into it.
On his second visit, Rafe is admitted into the brothel and is given to Tamara, who's now much more seductive then when she was being interviewed, an obvious sign she's been turned. He escapes by strapping her to a torture rack and investigating the funeral home further, finding Mr. Jenkins, a dead servant of Lilith's in the process, before fleeing. However, he drops his wallet while doing so, allowing Lilith to find his address. Having tasted some of Rafe's blood that Tamara managed to scratch off, Lilith takes an interest in Rafe and tries to seduce him, but he is unswayed by her sexual advances. At that moment Catherine comes by to check on his progress. She leaves when she thinks he's flirting but he tells her of the brothel's activity. They tell the police about it, but when they get the police to look over the grounds, all the evidence has been covered up and Rafe is dismissed as a fraud. Meanwhile, Vincent destroys the key so Lilith is now immortal at the cost of no control over her.
As Catherine is looking over some footage shot at the strip club where they confronted Lilith, she notices Lilith isn't in the shot. Realizing that Rafe might be right, she calls him over to look over the tape as well. While they are discussing the tape, Caleb calls for help, asking them to meet him at the power plant. When they arrive they find Caleb on the ground. Rafe is wary and goes to check on him first. His instincts prove right as Caleb is now a vampire, having been spared having his heart eaten in exchange for undead servitude to Lilith. Rafe and Catherine try to escape, but Rafe, in trying to swing across a gap, swings too far and out a window, landing on the police chief's car. Catherine, who took a ladder down, is caught by Caleb, Vincent and McCutcheon, and is brought back to the brothel into Lilith's clutches.
Rafe awakens in a hospital, but is strapped down to be taken into custody once he's healed. Rafe manages to break free just as Tamara, posing as a nurse, arrives to kill him. However, Rafe succeeds in getting the back of her outfit open and pushing her into a window, where the sunlight causes her to explode. This disturbs his sleeping roommate (Whoopi Goldberg), who tells him to keep the noise down so she can sleep. That night Lilith awakens to feed on Catherine in order to bring her into her undead horde. Catherine pleads for Caleb to help, but he's clearly beyond the point of humanity, and tells his sister that being a vampire "is pretty damn cool."
Rafe loads up on Super Soakers filled with holy water and raids the brothel, killing Vincent and McCutcheon. He meets up with Current, who realized his wrongdoing and wishes to make amends after Rafe luckily saved him from Vincent who had turned on him. Current tells Rafe that the holy water won't work on Lilith. Her heart has to be removed from her body and cut into four pieces, as before she was found by Vincent. Rafe gives him a spare water gun and the two enter the brothel, spraying all the vampires, including Patrice and Tallulah, who burn and explode on contact with the water. They split up to find Catherine. Caleb attacks Rafe with an axe, but Rafe sprays a hole straight through Caleb's midsection.
Current finds Catherine, but it turns out to be Lilith in disguise. He tries to stab her, but she easily stops his attack, breaks his hand, and kills him with his own knife. Rafe arrives shortly after and manages to cut into Lilith's body with an axe. It does damage, but doesn't kill her. She reattaches her body before fleeing while Rafe finds the real Catherine and they tend to Current, who dies from his wounds.
Rafe and Catherine head to the church to reveal the existence of vampires via the church's media equipment. Lilith returns, leaving a bloody trail as she confronts the two. She handcuffs Rafe to a railing before going after Catherine, who's no match for her in human strength. Rafe uses a nearby laser machine (used in Current's sermons to make cross-shaped burns) to aim and hit Lilith in the heart, cutting it into four parts. However, as the heart pieces need to be out of her body, Lilith remains alive. She turns her attention to Rafe, devolving into a hideous form. Just as she's about to kill him, Catherine grabs a candle stand and stabs Lilith's heart out from behind. Lilith's body burns as a result before collapsing to the ground, dead for good.
The next day, the two have Lilith's remains burned to prevent her from returning, and lock away the box with the heart pieces in it. When asked why she saved him, Catherine says she had her reasons. As they sit in his car, he begins fondling Catherine, which she oddly seems more accepting of now. He asks "What's that perfume you're wearing?" He then pulls back her skirt to find a pair of bite-marks on her thigh, where she was bitten by Lilith. Catherine replies "It's not perfume. It's sunblock." Catherine, dropping all pretense of her former self, then bites into Rafe, showing us that Lilith may be dead but her legacy will continue.
The movie then goes back to the Crypt Keeper, where he jokes that if Rafe and Catherine got married, she'd know "what's eating him... She is!". He has also apparently bested the Mummy at the game and reduced him to nothing but a head. The Crypt Keeper tells him to "quit while he's 'a head'" before laughing, ending the movie.

Review:
How can you go wrong?"Bordello of Blood," the second "Tales From The Crypt" feature film, supplies the viewer with ample amounts of all of the above, leaving room for little else.
Armed with super-soakers full of holy water and with the help of a guitar-slinging reverend (Chris Sarandon), the two set out to put the joint out of business once and for all.Dennis Miller is essentially playing himself, but keeps the humor pumping through the film's ridiculous premise.
What we also have is an absolute blast!!!I'm sure women won't enjoy this as much and will probably b*tch about the overdose of female nudity, but for all you guys who just don't give a damn and just want to kick back and have a good time:  You will love this movie!!
The film, like Demon Knight, is very gory and violent, although apart from the Crypt Keepers puns, and some of Miller's lines, this didn't have that much to offer.
I recommend it(like the first) to fans of gory horror films, and people who just want to be entertained for 90 minutes without having to think very much.
This one, Bordello Of Blood, was more funny than anything (quite funny humor I must admit at some points in the movie) with gore, that's all it was, funny and bloody, I was shocked that this movie really didn't have a real plot to it (none that I realized anyway) except obviously, there was vampires, and they wanted them dead...
Dennis Miller tries to stop a group of female bi-sexual vampires (led by the ultra-erotic Angie Everhart) who pose as prostitutes at a funeral home that acts as a front for a supposed prostitution ring.
A wise-cracking sleazy Private Eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) is been hired from a born again lady (Erika Eleniak) to find her punk goth brother (Corey Feldman).
Bordello of Blood-1996-Dennis Miller, Erika Eleniak, Chris Sarandon, Aubrey Morris, Corey Feldman, Angie Everhart, Phil Fondacaro, John Kassir(as the cryptkeeper) and William Sadler(as the mummy).This is a very silly movie.
Admittedly you have to be in the mood for a cheesy, somewhat silly B-movie horror flick but if you're in the right frame of mind this will do the trick.Also, maybe it's better that you're somewhat fond of Dennis Miller, since he basically carries this vampire flick.
In the great "Tales from the Crypt" tradition, this is full of great gore, low-brow humor and and a twist ending to boot.The cast here is great, with lovely eye-candy's courtesy of Angie Everhart and Erika Eleniak, the slightly-better-half of the Corey's (that reminds me, I have to dig up "Licence to Drive" one of these days) and the sorely underrated Chris Sarandon hamming it up as a crazy preacher doin' the Lord's work in inventive ways.While not as successful as "Demon Knight", "Bordello of Blood" is a fun horror flick that packs in a good dose of silly humor and gore.
Private eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) is hired by Katherine Verdoux (Erika Eleniak) to find her missing brother Caleb (Corey Feldman).
The second of the 'Tales from the Crypt Presents' movies is nowhere near as good as the criminally underrated Demon Knight.
Add a few funny one liners from the great Dennis Miller, some decent effects and semi-humorous story and you get exactly what you paid for on your local video store's dollar day!
From the concept of the bordello offering plenty of fun here with the topless workers parading around for the unwary victims, the several attempts to engage in tortuous sexual acts using the different devices to hold them in order to feed and the numerous scenes involving them around the strippers or topless clientele gives this one quite a strong sleaze quotient which has a lot to like overall.
The story in this Crypt story involves private investigator Dennis Miller hired by Erika Eleniak to do a missing persons case that leads to a nest of vampires in the titular bordello, led by supermodel Angie Everhart.
Tales From The Crypt :Bordella of Blood(1996) Starring:John Kassir, Dennis Miller, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart, Chris Sarandon, Corey Feldman, Aubrey Morris, Phil Fondacaro, and William Sadler Directed By:Gilbert Adler Review Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic here let me tell about a film so disappointing it had barely any blood to show for.
The movies not so fun premise is not the kind of lusting vampire film that I would want to sink my teeth into, it just feels like their could have been more or something.
This was the second Tales from the crypt movie that was ever released, the first being demon night which is my favorite so far, but bordello is more for the adult-watching lust having vampire horror viewers out there and it if that's your thing then you can really sink your teeth into this.
like standing there waiting to be shot at."But look at this amazing cast: Chris Sarandon, Corey Feldman, Dennis Miller, Angie Everhart, William Sadler and more...
Alas, this isn't for real and so Dennis Miller's chances of dying aren't as high.This all surrounds a woman/vampire, Angie Everhart, who was brought back to life doing the work of a televangelist in a whore house/mortuary.
Bram Stoker's Dracula -------------------------------------------------Nosferatu -------------------------------------------------------------The Lost Boys ---------------------------------------------------------Fright Night ----------------------------------------------------------I have this thing for Vampire movies and I've got to say, I believe this one was a classic.Although it may not be so intriguing to those who are looking for an intellectual movie, if you like old classics, this may be the movie for you.Completed with comedic lines, gore that just doesn't impress the people of the millennium, and a classic Crypt Keeper ending twist, Bordello of Blood is a good watch..
A lot people will disagree that this is no where near as good as Universal/ Tales from the Crypt first movie 'Demon Knight' - I personally think its just as good.
OK so its not the best vampire flick ever made ( the lost boys, was better) but its pure fun - Did you honestly think any of the actors would take there roles that seriously in a tales from the crypt movie??
Angie Everhart is great as the wise cracking vamp and Erika Eleniak is not much different from her bay-watch character, so you can kind of get the idea what its going to be like - go in open minded and just go with the flow.
Dennis Miller seems merely inserted into the action, like he got some points in his contract where he gets his own movie in exchange for services to be rendered later, so he is retrofitted into some script, in this case a Tales From The Crypt thing.
Chris Sarandon is very good as the televangelist and provides plenty of laughs as well.The movie has a fair amount of gore and basically plays as a longish tails from the crypt episode.
That done let me repair that by saying any film with Erika Eleniak in it will receive one bonus star.Tales From the Crypt's second feature is little more than a campy vampire tale.
It is the tale of the Queen of the vampires 'Lillith' (erotically portrayed by the best looking redhead in film, Angie Everhart).Dennis Miller, is his wise cracking self throughout this movie.
Bordello Of Blood is a somewhat disappointing follow up to the previous (and far superior) Tales From The Crypt feature "Demon Knight".
The other performances range from good (Erika Eleniak) to bizarre (Chris Sarandon) to delightfully fun (Aubrey Morris) to frighteningly wooden (Angie Everhart and Corey Feldman).
While it could have been a very good fun little schlock fest instead it doesn't seem to quite know what it wants to be, and as such comes out as very uneven in tone, throwing the film off balance and not letting you just enjoy it for what it is (or should be), simple fun schlock horror.Despite it's problems Bordello Of Blood still manages to be an enjoyable tongue in cheek piece of hokum for lovers of the genre, but it's unlikely to convert anyone else, and isn't a patch on the first Crypt film.
He works very well in this vampire film that is better than the last "Crypt" movie.
Filmed on what appears to be a massively low budget (is that a contradiction?) with a cast of Z-grade actors and a few famous-for-being-awful stars (ahem, Dennis Miller) this "Tales from the Crypt" spin-off is fairly entertaining but also, simply put...horrible.First of all it relies on excessive sex and language which isn't necessary at all and gives it a strange porno-vibe.
Things get a little more complicated for Lillith when the prudish Katherine comes to search for missing brother, assisted by the private eye Rafe Guttman.The cast of 'Bordello of Blood' is filled with familiar faces.
Of course, it's hard to picture a former playmate and Baywatch-vixen like an opponent of premarital sexSaturday Night Live clown Dennis Miller is decent and there are good supportive roles for Corey Feldman, Chris Sarandon and Phil Fondacaro (the midget from 'Troll').
An obvious Dusk 'Til Dawn wannabe, this gopher turd of a moovie manages to waste the slim acting talents of such grade b actors as Dennis Miller and Chris Sarandon, and non-existent talents of Corey Feldman and Angie Everhart.
stupid but dumb fun all the way it has cheesy acting a very funny performance by Dennis Miller the gorgeous Angie Everhart shes has a couple way too cheesy one liners though it's always nice to see Chris Saranadon he does his job well if you pay attention Whoopi Goldberg has a cameo in this as a hospital patient if you like gore this movie is filled with we get tons of ripped out hears nasty burning vampires and tons more but this is lacking in plot and story and the ending wasn't that great the direction is shoddy and this could have used more story but we do get to see the crypt keeper he is always fun to watch so all this adds up to if your looking for a smart scary horror flick look bit if your looking for some cheap dumb fun look no further i had fun with this one worth a watch **1/2 out of 5.
If you just want to watch for gore and nudity, then hit this movie up, it's got a lot of both.Dennis Miller should stick to comedy, as his acting in this film made me want to cry.
Bordello of Blood (1996) ** 1/2 (out of 4) When Katherine's (Erika Eleniak) brother Caleb (Corey Feldman) goes missing, she hires private eye Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) to find him.
Guttman traces the brother to an old funeral home, which is also being used for prostitution and in a major twist the hostess Lilith (Angie Everhart) is a vampire.BORDELLO OF BLOOD was the second Tales from the Crypt movie that was made by Universal but after it turned out to be a box office disappointment it pretty much killed the series.
The introduction to the whore house is something that seems out of a drive-in flick from the 1970s and there are also some wonderful special effects, which include countless bloody death scenes.The film also benefits from a fun cast including Miller who does a very good job as the smart-mouthed jerk of a private eye who constantly has something funny to say.
Everhart is perfectly cast as the sexy vampire.As with DEMON KNIGHT, the biggest problem with this film is that it pretty much runs out of story and there's just not enough here to carry on the 87-minute running time.
But the real meat (pun intended) is in Angie Everhart's role as sexy vampire Lillith; she makes anyone admire those bloodsuckers.Overall, maybe this movie is just cheap entertainment, but it ensures a good time.
Bordello of Blood is a fun film meant to be humorous, grisly, and rated R for nudity and violence.
Don't get me wrong, Bordello of Blood is not a great horror film but is a funny, inventive horror/comedy.
The film got me laughing through most of the last hour and although the blood n guts didn't really turn me on the constant interludes of T and A didn't receive any complaints from me.Dennis Miller's one liners and wise cracks made it seem as though the movie was made only for him since he was the only one that seemed as though he was taking the p**s whilst everyone else was just setting themselves up to have the p**s taken out of them as they acted camp or exaggerated their parts.This is definitely a film that bonds the feelings of guilt and pleasure as you watch it.I've never seen the other tales of the crypt episodes or the first film but i have to say i was quite entertained and definitely appreciated a break from all the heavy films i was watching previously.Also Angie Everhart is a stunner.
"Bordello of Blood" is about a Christian woman (Erika Eleniak) who is looking for his missing goth brother (Corey Feldman) and therefore hires a private detective to find him (Dennis Miller).
It turns out that the women of the bordello are vampires, and the place is being run by a Reverend (Chris Sarandon) who wants to get rid of sinners.Lots of comments deal with the fact that this movie is gory and filled with nudity; it's true, and I think there is a scene that captures its spirit:Dennis Miller and the Reverend, decide to kill Lilith (Angie Everhart), the "leader" of the vampires.
Dennis Miller (of all people -- was Jon Lovitz out sick that week?) is the PI who's looking into Feldman's disappearance for Erika Eleniak, a born-again type.Pluses include tons of gratuitous nudity, tons of gratuitous gore, Corey Feldman, who belongs in these kind of roles, Dennis Miller wisecracking his way through everything, a midget, a creepy old guy playing a necrophiliac, good uses of "Thirty Days in the Hole" and "Ballroom Blitz", and Angie Everhart chewing the scenery.
"Bordello of Blood" does offer some undemanding B movie entertainment, even if it's never quite as much fun as one might like it to be.
Rafe is hired by uptight Katherine Verdoux (Erika Eleniak) to locate her indolent brother Caleb (a well cast Corey Feldman), and tracks him to the mortuary, doubling as a bordello, where Caleb is last seen, tangling with evil boss vampire Lilith (Angie Everhart) and teaming up with slick televangelist J.C. Current (Chris Sarandon).
Dennis Miller stole the show, even with the bordello full of beauties, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart and others, Dennis is in top notch form as the new Bob Hope in this gore & breast fest of one liners and jabs at the vampire world in general.You don't need to know the plot, you won't even care, if you want to laugh and get a bit scared, this is a great film to do that.
It's about a placid detective (Dennis Miller, kickin ass I must say) investigating the disappearance of some horny young fella (played by clearly-not-a-teen-anymore Corey Feldman - haha, he's in a movie again!) which leads him to some kind of vampire brothel where the girls don't just take your money, they bleed you dry!
And like the first film, this runs short at only 87 mins - a good thing too, any longer would have been too long.This was great fun to watch, and much better than I'd anticipated after it's score here.
An unoriginal vampire tale this time, set in a brothel with lots of ladies eating biker types much like 'From Dusk Till Dawn' or 'Vamp' but nowhere near as good.Plot is pretty standard but like the previous Crypt flick is does have a wonderful array of makeup and prosthetic effects all over the show with blood squirting and fangs flying, nothing you haven't seen before but it looks good.
Casting is drab but does include 80's horror comedy star Sarandon and 80's teen star Feldman both of which raise the film slightly, Angie Everhart looks delicious as 'Lilith'.You know what your gonna get with this franchise so your either gonna love it or hate it.
I'm not sure ALL the drugs the filmmakers, cast, crew, extras, producers, writers, behind the scenes assistants, casting directors, editors, and puppeteers were doing during shooting but I at least know a few and also, the decision to ordain Dennis Miller as the primary protagonist in this film, Bordello of Blood (BoB), is such a living and an ongoing, never-ending, hellish, freakish nightmare that I would LITERALLY rather spend some quality (qt) time at the Bordello of Blood with all those super hot topless vampire babes and have a fun little trip down that coffin ride than have to watch this '90s cinematic feature for ANY reason other than for the reason of seeing all of the hot girls at the Bordello naked, mainly Angie but she doesn't even appear nude in this.
Miller carries the movie and Erika Eleniak's amazing in it and William Sadler from Demon Knight's good as the mummy and I love Bordello of Blood (BoB).(TftC: BoB's classic Cryptkeeper).
Like Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn from the same year, tongue-in-cheek horror Bordello Of Blood takes its inspiration from under-rated 1986 movie Vamp, but replaces that film's strip-club nest of vampires with a brothel full of bloodsuckers.
Erika Eleniak stars as Katherine Verdoux, who hires private detective Rafe Guttman (Dennis Miller) to try and find her missing wayward brother Caleb (Corey Feldman).
BORDELLO OF BLOOD is the second of the TALES FROM THE CRYPT TV series film spin-offs and a sequel to DEMON KNIGHT, which I enjoyed.
The unknown-to-me Dennis Miller is an unlikeable lead and Angie Everhart is very poor as the chief vampire, but at the same time there are positives here too.
