Delphine Seyrig's silver lame presence and Harry Kumel's evocative direction make this an above-par vampire tale.
Top CriticNot a single death is drawn out for effect -- indeed, most aren't even on purpose.
The lifeblood of marriage was all but drained by the time Slovakia's sullen vampires reached it in the early '70s.
a purposefully difficult-to-classify hybrid of European art-film austerity and borderline campy erotic-horror excess
Makes decadence drolly enchanted
Lesbian-themed vintage vampire flick.
An exotic, erotic re-working of the legend of vampire Elisabeth Bathor.
Mystifyingly overrated horror flick that moves like fire hydrant in winter
