Amazon.co.uk Review

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Kitsch at its best, 7 Dec 2006

By	M. Baynes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are two reasons to see this movie 1) The late Soledad Miranda who burned the screen up with her beauty shortly before a most unfortunate automobile accident and 2) the music - funky jazz and psychedelia. The 'plot' as such is quite feeble and as a horror film it doesn't really work but if you are looking for unashamed low budget nonsense this is the best there is!

R.I.P Soledad Miranda

1.0 out of 5 stars Letdown in Lesbos, 17 Jan 2004

By	wabrit (Derbyshire) - See all my reviews

I'd have to say this is a remarkably amateurish, tedious and inept film whose reputation rests more on the outlandish and entertaining soundtrack than any intrinsic merits of the film itself. The director is clearly in love with the zoom lens - whether this is due to any aesthetic motivation, or simply because such things are cheaper than bothering to move cameras around or do any editing, it would be fruitless to speculate. Similarly one could presumably put forward some compelling intellectual arguments for why so many scenes are not in focus, but it seems difficult to avoid the conclusion that this is down to incompetence.

Mr. Franco clearly has his admirers, but given that this film is one of their favourites, I can't see myself frittering away any more time or money on further examples from his ouevre.

I would recommend Harry Kumel's "Daughters of Darkness" as a far better treatment of a similar theme.

2.0 out of 5 stars A possible candidate for the "so-bad-it's-good" school, 4 Mar 2001

By A Customer

I wouldn't buy this film for the lesbians, or the vampires. Shot on a very limited budget, it nevertheless has its moments. If you're a lover of cheesy seventies kitsch and/or feeble special effects, then perhaps this is one for you.
