Movie Reviews of Vampyros Lesbos
Movie Review: Vampyros Lesbos: A gem in the rough.
Summary: 5 Stars
I just picked up a copy of this movie used and I must say that I am not at all disapointed with it. It has a very trippy, kind of haunting soundtrack and I tend to agree with some of the other reviews. If you go into this movie expecting a bloodbath you will be disappointed, but if you like a movie that challenges your mind then this a good one to watch. Most of the reviews on here criticize it for being too cheezy or campy or just plain bad and I only can say that you are all wrong. It was a good film and obviously not made on a super high budget, so you get what you pay for. It does feature a timeless and tragic beauty in the form of Soledad Miranda, who sadly enough was taken from this world in a car accident at a very young age shortly after this movie was filmed and released to the cinemas.
Summary of Vampyros Lesbos
Countess Nadine Carody, a vampire with an insatiable thirst for female blood, lures women to her isolated island to love^Ethen kill^Eher victims! Linda Westinghouse comes to the island and falls under the vampire ^Rs seductive spell, only to find a living nightmare she may never be able to escape. A tripped out mixture of nudity, soft-core lesbianism, vampires, outrageous sets and a world famous soundtrack, Vampyros Lesbos is now available for the first time ever on home video in the United States. Recently resurfacing as a cult classic after almost thirty years, Vampyros Lesbos has restarted a dance craze phenomenon across the globe with its psychedelic musical score! So, be sure to watch Vampyros Lesbos today^Eor Countess Carody just might SUCK YOU DRY!!Beyond being Jess Franco's masterpiece, Vampyros Lesbos is a highpoint of the lesbian vampire film genre. Like Daughters of Darkness, The Vampire Lovers, and the New Wave vampire film, The Hunger, Vampyros features an extremely hot vampire, Countess Nadina Carody (Soledad Miranda), who dances at strip clubs in her spare time. In a brutally sexy opening scene, Miranda hypnotically seduces audience member Linda Westinghouse (Ewa Str?mberg), calling her to her castle in Anatolia, on business from which Westinghouse never returns. Linda's boyfriend, Omar (Andr?s Monales), eventually finds Linda institutionalized, cared for by one Dr. Seward. The characters in Vampyros Lesbos are foils for the cast of Bram Stoker's Dracula, in radical opposition to the traditional, clich?d horror film stereotypes. Psychedelic moments, like when Linda is seduced by the Queen of the Night, recall the grainy, erotic scenes of Jean Rollin's Requiem Pour Un Vampire, and Le Frisson Des Vampires. To dwell on the convoluted plot is clearly missing the point. With arguably the best horror movie soundtrack every released, Vampyros Lesbos revels in the sultry aspects of vampirism, resulting in long, romantic sequences of nude women playing in ocean waves, lying on chaise lounges, and making out in bed. Franco's other films, like She Killed in Ecstasy and Venus in Furs, serve as sequels, so see this first. In fact, see this film period. --Trinie Dalton
