Dark, mysterious and sensual, Vampirella (Talisa Soto) is a princess from the Planet Drakulon. Like all vampires, she needs blood to live, but she will not kill to get it - a synthetic substitute keeps her alive. After journeying across space and time seeking vengeance for her father's brutal murder, she now finds herself on Earth, in Las Vegas, where her enemy Vlad (Roger Daltry) has disguised himself as a rock star. In order to stop Vlad's doomsday plan for world domination, Vampirella must make a dangerous alliance with a group of hi-tech vampire hunters. It's a race to stop the apocalypse of humanity and our fate is in the hands of the fiery, dangerous and beautiful Vampirella.

Why it matters

A late-’90s sci-fi vampire flick that blends campy spectacle with comic book flair, Vampirella is a curiosity best appreciated through a kaleidoscope of genre affection.

  • Talisa Soto’s sultry Vampirella channels ’90s cult icon energy, straddling gothic allure and action-hero grit.
  • Roger Daltrey’s rock-star villain adds an unexpected theatricality, tipping the scales toward campy fun.
  • Synth-heavy score and neon-lit Vegas set pieces capture that era’s pulpy, neon-soaked aesthetic.
  • More a cult curiosity than a classic, it’s for fans who savor offbeat adaptations and late-century genre oddities.
