i first start watch jess franco movie because i notice on the imdb list that klaus kinski be in many of them . the i heard that legendary fritz lang ( metropolis and m ) consider succubus a good movie and i be even more intrigued a to who this franco guy be . and then i find out that he work with orson welles a assistant director for chime at midnight and don quixote be also responsible for the butchered 1992 dvd release of the latter film . and i say that no matter what i have to see some of his movie even though their title give me quite a clear idea what they be all about and the total of 187 and grow number of movie mean that they be a very sloppy job . la fille de dracula certainly feel sloppy and unable to keep itself focus on one genre and a the imdb list it a horror and mystery and even romance and though i fail to notice either of these genre on screen . what you see and instead be a poor attempt at draw the viewer attention . the initial use of voyeurism that want to engage the viewer in the forbidden act that be explore be drop for no reason and replace with a meaningless plot build around a mystery that you do not really care to solve . the actor be give no substantial identity and the lead lady vampire although be admirable for her physical quality lack any skill to draw you into drama . it appear that she be just a sweet cuddly girl who sometimes like to suck blood . there be also some gratuitous nudity that make absolutely no sense the story but which be also not enough to make this a proper soft core movie . why a four then . because the movie look very good and apart from the annoy zoom and pull . a with other franco movie that i have recently see i be surprise that he could work so well on limited budget and that he find those beautiful location to shoot his movie in . the man obviously have some taste and and i think many director of erotica could learn some trick from him in term of set design and also the use of music and extreme closeup .
