Review of Vampyros Lesbos (1971) by Sam T — 10 Jun 2007

Jess Franco dishes out one of the sexiest and most erotic vampire films of all time and sealed Soledad Miranda's role as a scream queen legend. Beautiful women, a fantastic soundtrack (supplied by the Vampire Sound Incorporation), imaginative camerawork, and symbolism make you ignore the lack of plot to this sexploitation film.

Linda (played by Ewa Stomberg) is haunted by erotic dreams of dark haired women who she saw perform at a night club. On a business trip she meets Countess Nadine (Miranda, under the moniker Susanna Korda) who, coincidently, is that woman in her dreams.

However, the countess is also a former mistress of Count Dracula and seeks to make Linda one of the undead. All of this, and some pretty nifty lesbian vampire action. Trust me when I say this film is far better than it sounds.

Very stylish and very mod, this has become one of my favorite foreign films of all time.
