Actually I can be very positive about this movie, since it's a Jesus
Franco movie that I didn't hated watching for a change. Still, it's far
from being a great movie but it at least is watchable and even has some
good moments in it.
Best thing about this movie is that it manages to create a good
atmosphere. It's honestly a good looking movie and especially all of
the sex sequences are filmed very well. Yes, it's a Jesus Franco movie,
so it of course features quite a lot of nudity and sex in it. This time
it involves girls only, so prepare yourself for some steamy lesbian
moments. I'm actually getting real tired of these lesbian undertones in
vampire movies but it's done quite well in this movie, so I have simply
nothing to complain about, in this case.
The story is being somewhat pleasant and easy to follow, which is not
something you could say for every Jesus Franco movie. Haven't said
that, it's nothing too solid or original really. Even it's title is
incredible formulaic but oh well, at least it still sounds good in
French.
And this goes for the dialog as well. It's all better sounding in
French and lets the actors come across as if they knew what they were
doing. Still it's very obvious that most of the actor's voices got
dubbed because they were non-French speaking ones. But this at least
isn't anything too distracting and I don't know, it sort of adds to the
charm of these sort of movies a well.
I'm not sure about it though that there is plenty for the
horror/vampire lovers to enjoy. It's a movie that is more about its
atmosphere really and not so much about its blood or scares. If this
sound appealing enough to you, this movie is still worth checking out.
Not a great movie by any means but by normal Jesus Franco standards,
it's definitely still a good and watchable enough movie.
5/10
