2.0 out of 5 starsCoeur De lying!
By scribe on 2 April 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I bought Blood Spattered Bride, October 2010. This Blue Underground version states fully uncut and uncensored. This is untrue the uncut film runtime is 114 minutes, this is 101 mins, celluloid butchery, an 13 minute edit. There are also three or four strong sex scenes missing between newly weds Maribel Martin and Simon Andreu, they can't keep their hands of each other, but is this cut film they appear to manage.

This was on it's release heralded as one of the most graphic Vampire films ever. The Blue underground release isn't any stronger than the Christopher Lee Count Dracula offerings, that tells its own story. Something is way wrong here! In the last reel Simon Andreu, the aggrieved husband, or over zealous contol freak depending on your point of view finds his wife Maribel Martin having a lesbian moment in a coffin built for two with the sensuous MIrcalla, played by the foxy Alexandra Bastedo, (Sharon Macready in the Champions) and proceeds to open fire on them with an M1 carbine, after death he begins to cut in the ribcage of Ms Bastedo. The film ends abruptly with the banner headline ''Three women killed, their hearts cut out.'' This described not shown. Having waited 30 yrs to see the uncut version of this means disappointed doesn't even come close!

4.0 out of 5 starsRepression and hatred
By woodwytch on 14 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Interesting version of the Carmilla story with the other-worldy feel that dubbed foreign films of its era seemed to achieve. Warning: if you are an animal-lover, there is one unpleasant scene which certainly looks like the real thing. I'm sure Alexandra Bastedo - who now has an animal sanctuary - must have been horrified by its inclusion.

4.0 out of 5 starsMircarla
By Geoffrey Noble on 31 May 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Spanish version of Sheridan La Fanu's lesbian vampire romp, features British born actress Alexandra Bastedo (Champions Eng. TV) as Mircarla. Builds slowly and is not as camp as the Hammer versions. Some female nudity but not overdone. Nicely shot and the dubbing is well done. The ending is a bit of a cop-out but overall a decent movie.

HASH(0x884e95dc) out of 5 stars For memorable imagery, hard to top this 14 April 2009
By runner30 - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
You won't find a better 1972 Spanish-produced vampire movie (the dialog is in English). I first saw it in a revival theater in LA during a "Grindhouse" month for which Quentin Tarantino had selected all the films; he made it a double feature with a Mexican gem titled "Mary, Mary, Bloody Mary" (1975).

"Bride" concerns a young bride and her boorish husband, and the ghostly woman who comes between them. No one morphs into a bat or carries garlic, though, and the supernatural threat is never fully explained, so very literal-minded people might avoid the word "vampire." This movie is its own thing.

It is worthwhile chiefly for its many haunting images (some even surreal), and I like that it takes a real stab (pun intended) at ideas and characters who are more than one dimensional (though not 100% successfully). There's a little nudity, but the pacing is more concerned with atmosphere than action. Some of the scares fall flat -- but there are also some truly startling moments.

If you appreciate unique, atmospheric horror that is very 1972 in its ideas and execution, then buy this DVD. It is a minor classic.

Unfortunately, there are no special features.

HASH(0x887695a0) out of 5 stars Stylish retake on a classic novel 26 Jun. 2000
By M. James - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
When Carmilla first appeared in print the sexually repressed society of the day lapped this subject matter up greedily. Today, such themes of lesbianism and sadistic sex are commonplace enough but some sexual repressions endure. This is the key to understanding The Blood Spattered Bride. It is unfortunate that the producers saw the need to resort to using such a lurid title to attract viewers who would almost certainly be expecting a mad slasher film and thus apt to be disappointed. Although there is some violence and gore it is never rampant. Likewise, those seeking an erotic release will also come away disappointed as the nudity and sexual situations are tainted with violence which is apt to arouse only the sexual sadist. The key to understanding the movie lies with the themes of sexually repressed emotions which manifest themselves in subconscious action, which may sound too freudean to some but is cleverly treated in this film. From the opening scene it becomes apparent that the viewer is going to be forced to decipher which is reality and fantasy. There is one scene which sensitive persons need to be WARNED: A fox is caught in a leg hold trap and dispatched with a shotgun, and that is for REAL. It is a quite disturbing scene but I suppose it adds credence to the reality/fantasy motif. And so the viewer must become a psychological detective rather than a mere passive viewer in order to truly appreciate the film. As such the movie is not a true horror film but a stylish suspense thriller... Thankfully there is no clutter of added features (coming attractions) before the film. Just pop it in the player and the film starts immediately. The movie has been dubbed into english in a manner which is almost seamless, so there is no need to worry about following subtitles.

HASH(0x88769d38) out of 5 stars an excellent Euro horror 11 Jun. 2001
By Rich Bradson - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
I'll keep this quick and simple. If you like Euro Horror stuff from the late 60's and 70's than you can't go wrong this film. Although the title is much, much cooler than the film itself, it is still a good representation of Euro horror. Reminds me of Torso and Tourist Trap a little, just a little. Nonetheless, it's a great buy for your collection and the print rendered on this DVD is excellent!

HASH(0x883dcd08) out of 5 stars The "vampire" intimacy 9 Sept. 2008
By Bartok Kinski - Published on Amazon.com
Format: DVD
The film is inspired by Le Fanu's story Carmila. Pretty much the same identical story: a castle, a curse. It is a very slow movie for today's criterion, but this makes the innovative imagery even more shocking and surprising, most of the film's credit must go to the performances of the lovely leading ladies. The movie isn't a very close version of Sheridan Le Fanu's pompous novel "Carmilla" and it has got nothing to do with Matthew G. Lewis as far as I can tell. The "vampire" intimacy in this film is tied to themes of virginity and rape - most other vampire flicks sort of hint at this but none that I can remember spell it out so clearly. It is exceedingly Freudian in this film. The lesbian vampire catalyst is fueled more by hatred for men than a hunger, a need for blood. The killing is to vindicate, the blood drinking is an aside. The film does a good stint of keeping the audience off balance by cleverly smudging the line between reality and Susan's fantasies and delusions.

The film is a little outstretched, but the plot is complex. After all is said and done the film actually has significance (unlike many films in the genre). It would be notable if someone remade this film and tightened the pacing a bit.

HASH(0x883dceb8) out of 5 stars Could Use a Transfusion 1 Jun. 2000
By frankenberry - Published on Amazon.com
Don't get me wrong here...I like this film quite a bit and this new DVD from Anchor Bay looks great....but the movie just disappoints because it could have been so much more. First off, this new letterboxed DVD is the first time it's been released uncut in the USA...I think it's about 10 minutes longer than the old Gorgon Video release...and although some of that is just exposition, I do think there is some extra nudity and gore that had been previously edited out (but I'm guessing from memory). The movie has a cool serene feel to it, several really haunting moments, and a good share of blood and nudity...but the script just doesn't have much momentum....there's no suspense and no drive to the plot....it just unfolds slowly with really no where to go. After you've sat there for 101 minutes and the movie's over --- it's hard to remember anything about it! Just call it Euro-Fluff. So it's a mixed bag --- definitely worth a look for euro-fans or lesbo vamp fanatics -- but don't expect too much going in.
