Once Bitten | Year: 1985 Directed: - Howard Storm Actors/Actresses: - Lauren Hutton - Jim Carrey Hey, it's the white guy from "In Living Color"!! Brief plot synopsis: A female vampire needs the blood of a virgin to stay young; she finds Mark Kendall(Jim Carrey); hijinx ensue. I first saw this when it came on tv; at the time Jim Carrey was either a nobody or "that white guy from "In Living Color" (btw why ...isn't that on dvd yet?). Shortly after I saw this JC started getting big with movies such as "The Mask" and "Ace Ventura". With those films in mind "Once Bitten" is somewhat of a novelty. Even though it is billed as a comedy, JC's character is a far cry from the rubberfaced madman we see in the aforementioned comedies. This is the Jim Carrey we saw in "The Truman show" the man who can play a character that we just like; someone accessible enough that we could know the guy or someone like him. JC's acting is brilliant here, I do enjoy JC's other work but it's refreshing to see him in a role like this. If you're a JC diehard it's a must buy, If you're not a diehard, there's still a good chance it will be a welcome addition to your movie collection. ... This is a great vampire movie comedy. This movie is definitely one of my favorites! Jim Carrey is great, as always! When I saw this I loved it. Now that I want to buy it I can't find it anywhere! This movie has a great mix of 80's fads, ha ha. No but this movie really is great! I would recommend to this to everyone! It's Jim Carrey's First Movie And It's Great!!! This movie is a wonderful example of just how dangerously great a mixture comedy and horror can make. It's also the first movie for each of the the two leading stars, now-famous Hollywood actor Jim Carrey and already-famous Playboy legend Lauren Hutton. In the movie, Hutton plays the sexy and seductive Countess, a female bloodsucker who needs three transfusions of vrigin blood by Halloween Eve in order to avoid averting into her 390-year-old self. However, she has two problems. First, she lives in Hollywood, where vrigins are in very short supply. Second, Halloween is only a week away. When all hope seems lost, she meets Mark Kendall(Carrey, a teeenager who wants sex with his girlfriend, Robin, more than anything else. When a drunken Mark engages in a supposed one night stand with Countess at her mansion and Robin finds out about it, it appears that their relationship is finished. But luckliy for both of them, she gives him another chance. When Countess, who already has two transfusions on Mark, tries to get the final one at a high school dance, fails, and then traps Mark using Robin as bait, Robin finds out just how far Countess is willing to go to get what she wants. When Countess is only a split second away from biting the captive Mark for the final time, Robin intervines and saves him. After a chase through the confines of her mansion, Countess finds Mark and Robin having sex in what was to be his coffin. When midnight strikes, she ages to her old self. We taped Once Bitten off Home Box Office in 1987, and over the past fourteen years, it still ranks among my favorite movies. I especially like it because unlike so many vampire movies i've seen, the sexest tradition of strictly males as vampires is lifted when Lauren Hutton undertakes the role of the Countess. If you're a fan of horror who happens to be looking for a scary movie and one of comedy as well, this is by far your best bet.
