    Another great erotik vampire film from French director Jean Rollin. Very surreal and hypnotic. Excellent use of gothic location. The castle used is very claustrophobic with its tight circular rooms and stairways. This is not a film for evryone. But for those who love the atmosphe...( read more)re and style of Euro horror this is a definate winner. This has it all, gothic atmosphere, lesbian vampires, incestous vampires, primary color lighting, a psychadelic guitar score, fog machines and hot 70's French woman who spend lots of time with their clothes off! The story doesnt really matter...its all about the style! Recommended.

    To call Jean Rollin's movies idiosyncratic is an understatement of pretty major proportions.

    Fvampire fairytale. Featuring gorgeous vampires, Gallic vampire hippies and sex. Beautifully macabre, with eerie medieval castles coffins and a strange woman who emerges from a clock.
    Everything a vampire movie should be!!
