Wow
By Fabiola
That Jess Franco sure was wacky. This ultra-sexy 70′s vamp flick probably arouses me more than any modern softcore film, but it’s still not as good as Vampire Femmes or Vampyres. The woman here isn’t really a vampire in the monster sense of the word. She’s more of an energy sucker, kills by sucking sexual energy from her victims. The bad acting will get on some’s nerves, and the plot is ludicrous, but if you buy this film to begin with, you can’t expect Citizen Kane. A good b-movie sexfest.

Moody Ethereal Horror From Franco
By frankenberry
The new IMAGE DVD of Jess Franco’s “Female Vampire” is a welcome addition to any Francophile or euro-horror fan’s collection. The movie reeks with an ethereal mood and pace and the euro-lounge theme music (played through about 90% of the flick!) is catchy and will haunt you long afterwards. Irina the lonely vampire goes from one victim to the next — that’s about it for story — but who cares! This is Franco at his best! Be forewarned — this is definitely a Very Mature movie so keep the young ones away! Released in a few different versions over the years, this 101 minute version is closest to “The Loves of Irina” version once released on VHS by Private Screenings. Alternate scenes from the “Erotikill” version are included as a supplement (app. 8 minutes) and basically include all the attack scenes which show Irina drinking blood. For some reason, the alternate scenes are not in chronological order. The movie is letterboxed at 2.35:1 and looks fine, but some shots seem to be over matted (but maybe that’s just the way it is). Image quality is a bit soft and there are two moments of print damage (streaking of image for app. 30 seconds -sprocket hole damage?), but basically it’s a very nice presentation and a MUST BUY!!! The DVD also has one trailer (in French only).

BAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF!
By L. Steidl
It never fails that every time I experience this film, and I’ve seen it now about three times in the past year, it produces a vastly different reaction each time I view it. I bounce from absolute admiration for Franco’s directorial style, dreamy camerawork and musical score, and committed performances from the cast, to thinking that this is nothing but a cheap, porno-wanna-be-flick with absolutely nothing to do with “vampires”, and no artistic integrity whatsoever. Fortunately, the positive vibes win out over the negative and I, once again, admire this film and all that is right and wrong with it. If I fail to make sense, well good then, because neither does this flick. Ms. Romay is, to say the least, totally uninhibited as she romps about the beautifully filmed outdoor scenes while a Chopin-like score lusciously underscores her every movement. Her scenes with the bed posts are, er…., quite a moment in the Euro-Erotic field, and the way she swishes and moves about on her bed like a pent-up, totally horny young woman about to have an orgasm for the first time is, well…… something to see. I love the moments of male frontal nudity, especially a scene where Ms. Romay is seducing a hotel masseur. The simulated sex is quite laughable, especially since our young man can’t seem to “get it up”. This is quite an atmospheric film and, if you love your 70′s horror/vampire flicks, I think you will find much to admire in this one.Luigi – NYC
