5.0 out of 5 stars A Schlock Horror Classic 23 Sep 2005
By Panic
Format:DVD
From the golden age of 70's horror films and starring the incomparable Delphine Seyrig, I would not hesitate to recommend this Vampire? movie where the atmosphere generated by the location of an out-of-season Belgian seaside hotel provides a backdrop through which Ms Seyrig drifts effortlessly and menacingly. The faded opulence of the hotel is the starting point to which layers of menace and intrigue are added, and the reason I put the question mark after Vampire is that the nature of the menace is never overtly stated so building the tension even more.
Perhaps the oddest thing is to find John Karlen (Mr Lacey in Cagney & Lacey!) as a decadent English aristo! but why he should get higher billing than the stupendous Delphine Seyrig is beyond me. Indeed both Goth Lesbian icon Andrea Rau and Danielle Ouimet have a much surer grasp of film's style than Mr Karlen.
The slow ratchetting of tension is handled expertly by Harry Kumel, whose commentary on this DVD is a revealing insight into the films dynamics.
The term 'Classic' is overused but in this case it is justified.

4.0 out of 5 stars slow-burning euro horror masterpice. 21 Dec 2005
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A young newly married couple, on their way to england stop off at a creepy belgian hotel that is almost totally empty of guests (and staff) except a porter and a pair of mysterious women who seem a little over-keen on the new guests. This is another take on carmilla that manages to rank alongside the blood spattered bride as one of the best euro-horror vampire titles around, with a Sense of mystery and suspense that kept me gripped. Also of note is the directors superb use of location especially the hotel itself which is one of the creepiest since the overlook.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hotel That Dripped Blood 23 Jan 2010
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Newlyweds Stefan and Valerie arrive at a Grand Hotel in Ostend for their honeymoon. Valerie keeps asking Stefan to inform his mother of the marriage, but he seems reticent. They are the only guests in the hotel until the arrival off the beautiful Countess Elizabeth Bathory(Delphine Seyrig) and her young companion Ilona(Andrea Rau). The Hotel clerk remembers the Countess staying at the hotel before, but that was forty years ago, when he was a young bellboy. He finds it remarkable that she looks exactly the same as she did then. The Countess corrects him saying that the guest back then must have been her mother. Meanwhile, a series of murders are being committed in Belgium. When the married couple visit Bruges, the body of a young woman is being taken out of an apartment. Stefan seems excited at witnessing the event, and is violent towards his wife when she tries to pull him away. As the marriage disintergrates, the Countess and Ilona see an oppurtunity to carry out plans of their own, plans that involve both Stefan and Valerie.
This is a quite beautiful film, each act of which seems like a moving painting seperated by a red curtain. It takes a very languid approach in telling its story, but to be honest who cares with the stunning imagery on display. The films story is relatively simple, but still manages to create quite a mystery, through its implicit rather than explicit exploration of the vampire mythos. Its also a very sensuous, erotic film, though once again not explicitly so. The performances are all good, but its Seyrig as Bathory who really excels, a mixture of sly cunning and deadly charm.
An excellent film, and an excellent release from Blue Underground. 5 out of 5
