Vampyros Lesbos (DVD) ... 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 Strömberg), calling her to her castle in Anatolia, on business from which Westinghouse never returns. Linda's boyfriend, Omar (Andrés 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, clichéd 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

... appologise for giving the game away, but lets be honest, every single vampire movie ends up in pretty much the same way, and something this cheap and trashy wasn't going to come up with something novel now was it? Vampyros Lesbos is a dull affair, with both a weak storyline and untitilating sexual scenes to boot making it not worth watching on both accounts. As an example of the dire exploitation movies of the 70s its great - you get to exactly what you are lucky to have missed, but as a piece of entertainment i...more

Well, no actually, rather softcore fumblings with the rather weak excuse of a vampire movie thrown in an as rather thinly veiled excuse for such activity. Not that I'm a prude...but its just so naff! Vampyros Lesbos is one of those dodgy exploitation movies from the 70s, this time featuring a woman(Ewa Stromberg) lured by lurid sexual dreams to the island inhabitance of Countess Nadine(Soledad Miranda). Lo and behold, the countess turns out to be a vampire who inherited her residence from Count Dracula himself and after a night of not very steamy passion becomes as obsessed with Linda as Dracula became with her. They do a lot of rolling around naked and ... Read the complete review

Ever since the inception of the legend, vampirism has always been not merely a part of the domain of the horrific, but also of the erotic; even in the relatively innocuous Hammer horror films there was the occasional mention of the rites associated with vampirism as a pleasurable sexual activity, which incidentally can lead the victim to fall completely under the hypnotic spell of the perpetrator. It could well be argued, therefore, that director Jesùs Franco’s cult classic Franco-German co-production ‘Vampyros Lesbos’ is actually far more than simply a straightforward exploitation flick, and is in fact a film which carries the vampire myth to ...

In this little cult ‘masterpiece’, Jesùs Franco combines the vampire legend with unashamedly exploitative eroticism and a kitsch style. We lucky Brits also have a unique opportunity — to see this film, usually cut even in the US, in an uncut state, and with a nice-looking film to boot. THE FILM Vampyros Lesbos features Linda Westinghouse, an estate agent working for the Simpson and Simpson company, sent to visit Countess Nadine, a woman who resides on an isolated island and who wishes to purchase a property left to her by Count Dracula. Linda is a woman plagued by a recurring dream, during which she enjoys physical relations ... Read the complete review
