richard t 01/12/2023 It's worth seeing, but don't expect it to make sense. Like Rollin's other vampire films it's best if you view it as the impression of a story or an evocation of mood, rather than anything literal or linear. There's also little in the way of dialogue. A lot of meaningful glances, startled gasps, and staring in horror. Oh, and shooting at things that aren't really that menacing. But it's a hoot. :) See more 10/20/2015 Manged to watch 20 of it, fuck off. See more 10/03/2015 As soon as you hear of this movie, you'll most likely be drawn in by sex appeal. If you focus on the actual substance of the film, you'll find that the film itself isn't completely bad. If anything, the only thing that's totally bad about the film is that there's no real explanation for what's going on. Only if you happen to have subtitles or understand French can you understand the dialogue, though I must commend the filmmaker for doing more with less dialogue between the characters. It seems weird, but I think the film is more atmospheric and more entertaining with less dialogue that could potentially come off as hackneyed. I was almost expecting the whole film to be silent, but thankfully that turned out not to be the case, otherwise nothing would make any sense in any language. For me, the film's obvious strength is its well-constructed gothic atmosphere, which actually benefits from the lack of dialogue present in the film. The music in the film also gives the film a certain vibe that makes the whole experience much better. To be honest, I was initially worried that this film would be more pornography than movie, but it turned out to be more of a silly horror flick than pornography. Obviously the director intended it to be a rather erotic film, and depending on your tastes, he may or may not have accomplished that. As a horror film, it's better than I thought it would be. Yes, it seems a bit like a lurid, dream-like gothic fairy tale, but that's why I'd certainly watch it again if given the chance.

See more 10/29/2012 To be honest I can't give this movie a creditable review, but I can say that despite my love for "b-movies", I could not make it through even half of this film. The beginning seems to drag on with no speaking and yet somehow the acting is absolutely horrific, and not in a good way. By the time you meet any actual vampires, the film turns into a poorly done porno flick, and that was all I could bear before deciding to turn it was time to call it quits. I'm sure I missed what Jean Rollin was going for, but I'll accept the loss and never give this film a second chance.
