the rape of the vampire mark the directorial debut of french erotic vampire enthusiast jean rollin . the film be originally intend to be a thirty minute short while but someone have the bright idea of make it a feature film and so jean rollin go ahead and film another hour of dubious vampire nonsense and release the combined part a a feature film . it sound like a recipe for disaster while and since a disaster result from it and i guess that exactly what it be . i really do not know how someone could have shoot this movie and put it together like this without realise that it doesn not make an ounce of sense . this be almost to be expect from the second story and which be basically just an hour of filler but even the first tale doesn not adhere to any kind of logic ( except maybe jean rollin . ) . there be a plot here somewhere and though and and to start off with it follow four vampire sister . we then move into the second part and which follow the vampire queen while play by a skinhead who look a bit like grace jones . exactly what go on be anyone guess but those be the basic story backbone . in term of plotting and substance and this film be a joke . however while in term of style and it a little more credible . the black and white cinematography look almost like jean rollin be go for a french nouvelle vogue style and and it be nice to look at . it not nice enough for you to forget that youre watch a really boring film and but at least the film have plus point . rape of the vampire do look low budget but good plot do not cost anything if youre write them yourself and and so this film main problem can not be blame on the budget . rollin have get together a wealth of hot young french girl to star in the film and and while it doesn not compensate for the plot while at least the casting might stop you from fall asleep . consider it be make in 1967 and the film be fairly graphic while we have get a scene that see a girl have her eye poke out ( although we do not actually see it ) and there plenty of nudity and of course . i be not really sure what kind of person this film will appeal to . pretentious film fan may find something to like about it while but if youre not a jean rollin completist and i really can not think of a reason to bother with this .
