From Amazon.co.uk

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 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

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic exploitation film 10 April 2010
By Jim McM
Format:DVD
This very fun and funky film stands the test of time: it's both kitsch, artfully composed, gratuitously violent, frightening and genuinely erotic (due largely to the beautiful, but tragic, Soledad Miranda). Incidentially, it's not without a sense of irony that modern cinema seemed to have briefly rediscovered the "art" of the exploitation flick (see "choses secretes", a recent french film, which lifts a key scene from this picture), much like recent rehabilitations of burlesque, poledancing and the playboy brand. Plus its jarring, jazz and dance inflected pyschedelic soundtrack lives on as a cult item in its own right.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor indeed 22 Sep 2012
By Mr Viewer
Format:DVD
How anyone in their right mind could give this 5 stars is beyond me.

Mr Franco has never made a mainstream film worthy of more than 3 stars imho.

Granted, he was not allowed to put enough sex in it but it is just slow, tedious and boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extended film essay 30 Mar 2010
By TKr
Format:DVD
Vampiros Lesbos is an extended film essay, based on Franco's lectures at a women's college at Cambridge University in 1968. In it, Franco addresses his thoughts on "the question of women and film," interpreted by Franco as many questions. In Vampiros Lesbos, Franco ponders the significant question of whether or not a woman could find the same meaning in life as men, exemplified my Count Dracula. In doing so, he examines women's historical experience as well as the distinctive struggle of the woman artist. Franco defines the question of women and film as being three inextricable questions: women and what they are like; women and the women they sleep with; and women and hoe lesbian intercourse is depicted. A couple of bothersome features: First, the words lesbianism and omnisexuality are used interchangeably throughout the film and the script pertaining to the film. Second, the genres (e.g. cunnilingus) with which each actress is associated are clearly discernible, but there is almost non-existent notation of the actresses possible connection to any of the men, or the reasons that some of these actresses were considered lesbian.
