Critic Reviews

  • Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

    Extremely prolific and generally untalented, Jess Franco is the Spanish Ed Wood, albeit without Wood's gift for humorously inane dialogue.

  • Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion

    Try to locate a narrative, and the whole thing dissolves; better to take the lead of Heidrum Kussin's buxom, straitjacketed Reinfeld, who emerges from the reverie bewildered and aroused.

  • Essi Berelian, Total Film

    Jess Franco's 1970 erotic horror has become a cult landmark in Eurotrash entertainment.

  • Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews

    Never rising above an exploitation film.

  • Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com

    As filtered through the drug-bombed haze of Jesus Franco, this mixture of vampires and sun-drenched Riviera setting is nonsense from the get-go, but if you like a little soft gore with your soft core, this is the movie for you.

  • El Hombre I


    This film exploring erotic obsession is among the more famous and respected of prolific Spanish director Jesus Franco, who is also known for his "bad taste." Falling somewhere between arthouse and grindhouse, it's too trashy for some while too personal or difficult for… More

    This a unique movie for 3 simple reasons: -Soledad Miranda is so damn hot she could melt the poles in minutes (a shame she passed away so early) -Jess Franco always creative camera work -One of the most, if not the most, psychodelic soundtrack mankind has recorded Franco was a… More

  • Cindy I


    A mildy titillating, but ultimately lame vampire flick from Jess Franco. The base story is similar to the original Stoker novel. A lady lawyer, Linda Westinghouse, goes to a mysterious woman's island home to probate a will for her. What she doesn't know is that the mystery… More

    Caught this on late night cable, and couldn't turn it off. It really wasn't that bad!
