Film: Vampyros Lesbos
Director: Jess Franco
Company of Release: Severin
Written by: Joe Mazzella
Well after long last we
have the long awaited blu-ray release of Jess Franco's female vampire classic
Vampyros Lesbos (aka Les Vampiras) an absolutely stunning film with the
extremely sexy Soledad Miranda as the vampire vixen ,all of Soledad Miranda's
scenes are both sensual and haunting as she is the reason to enjoy this great
work.
Plot: Our story concerns Linda (played by Ewa Stromberg ) who travels to
see the vampire at her home that she inherited from Dracula himself and while
there falls under the unstoppable spell of Soledad. Linda is eventually turned
into a crazed victim in need of her new love but ends up in an insane asylum as
her doctor (Dennis Price from Horror Hospital) tries to figure out if her tale
about a vampire is true and how can he contact her so he to can cross to the.
Other realm. Not to give so much away we do have a highly erotic and bloody
film with great love scenes and an amazing cast that also includes Paul Mueller
as Linda's psychiatrist and also Jess Franco himself as the hotel clerk with a
secret passion for torture murder and bloodletting . I highly recommend this
Jess Franco film .
Picture: As for the transfer it is crisp sharp and amazing. It
is in German language with English subtitles and the music score is truly
amazing .
Extras: The special features are also excellent :A featurette about Soledad
Miranda with Soledads historian Amy Brown is very informative and entertaining
covering her entire career. There's also Vampyros Jesus-An interview with Jess
Franco. Also a very good feature covering a lot of background on Soledad and
the film. There's also a German trailer and an alternate German opening
title sequence which I enjoyed .
All in all its was amazing viewing and I
definitely recommend seeking it out. Enjoy!
