423. Vampyros Lesbos (1971)

November 16, 2014

Jess Franco made hundreds of films over his career, and 'Vampyros Lesbos' is one of the more well-known of those films. As the title suggests, it does involve vampires and lesbians. After witnessing a stage play of a woman seducing another woman who was made up like a mannequin, a woman in the crowd named Linda becomes seemingly obsessed with having her own similar experience and finds herself drawn to a secluded island owned by a mysterious countess. The two women have an affair and then part, but Linda remains drawn to the countess. A doctor tries to have the countess turn him into a vampire, and another woman has some sort of psychic link to the countess. The rest of the movie is made up of occasionally naked ladies walking into rooms and looking around. There wasn't much to it, but the psychedelic score was pretty cool and let's face it, if you watch a movie called 'Vampyros Lesbos', you know why you're watching it.
