Review:
This was a really bizarre movie… but it’s French, so I guess it’s pretty normal over there!
Anyway, this gives you the impression that it is a vampire movie but it is actually something much more weird and much more complex than that. Although, I don’t want to spoil any of the big reveals.
Now, I wouldn’t call the reveals Earth shattering or even good but they do make this a unique experience.
Like most European horror of the time, this is a sexy movie with a lot of nudity and pretty hot chicks. The twins are especially mesmerizing in that ’70s euro horror way that reminds me of the vampire films starring Soledad Miranda and Lina Romay.
This has a lot of cool occult stuff in it like the opening scene where the main girl is trying to get away from pursuers wearing creepy animal masks. It has Wicker Man vibes in that regard.
Also, the locations where this was shot are opulent, mesmerizing and cool.
Overall, this is slow at times but it’s too unusual to ignore and the really strange stuff keeps one’s interested in where this could potentially be going.
Rating: 5.75/10
