Jelisije J @jjosifovic Sep 9, 2026 If I can give this film zero stars I would.......this movie exists and that is a travesty in its self. See more Jan 9, 2022 Either you get into the druggy vibe of Jean Rollin or you think it's the most boring filmmaking ever. But me, well, I'm nodding off and living inside the languid pace of his films and looking for those moments when masked maniacs wander the streets and indiscriminately murder people and the film doesn't really feel like cluing you into what's going on because why should it? You have to earn it. I mean, what if you went to a party where a woman's photo is projected on a screen and she kills herself in front of the guests so that a strange woman in an orange nightgown can drink her blood and then your photo comes up next? None of these things will ever happen to any of us. We'll never have days where we don't see the sunlight and realize we're the first humans to be immortal. At least I don't think we will. I mean, wouldn't it be great? But then I wonder, would my acid reflux get bothered by certain types of blood? I mean, the basic description of this movie says: "Wealthy and decadent industrialist Georges Radamante rules over a strange secret suicide cult and wants to achieve immortality by figuring out a way to share the biochemistry of a young mute orphaned vampire woman." If you don't want to watch that, well, I don't know what hope there is for you to experience magic. See more May 11, 2013 I stopped watching before the 30min mark. It's so bad. See more Sep 16, 2012 visually stunning. The story makes zero sense and there is a lot of standing around, some slow walking too. Really the worst vampire attack ever filmed, really. Still, weird and fits snugly into the whole rich, chateau secret society boosheets that the French really love. Also, one of the best ending expositions as the two defeated co-conspirators walk off into the field lamenting the fact that they, too, have had no idea what the heck just happened. See more Jun 20, 2012 I may not be able to tell you straight away who I think is the most creative filmmaker, or the most intellectual filmmaker, or the most symbolic filmmaker, but I have an immediate answer if you want to know the most boring filmmaker: Jean Rollin. His static takes, long scenes, minimal dialogue, and complete absence of suspense and drama delivered by a cast of lousy somnambulating actors would test a chess fan's patience. Hell, the guy even found a way to make nudity dull. This gets one star because it is slightly better (read: has a sort-of plot) than another of his disasterpieces I've seen. See more Mar 13, 2012 The Nude Vampire is the story of a wealthy young man who discovers that his father is part of a scientific cult, of sorts, who is holding a beautiful vampire captive. They routinely perform tests on the vampire and hope to unlock the secrets to immortality. Let me just start off by saying that this is a very raw filmmaking, so don't expect high production value or anything like that. There are definitely some moments in the film that are borderline laughable because of this lack of a budget but it's sorta part of it's charm. What struck me right away about this film was Rollin's desire to set the mood early with strange framing, bizarre costumes, and musical tones which really help to create the atmosphere for the film. The use of color is vivid and lively with lavish set decorations, costumes and lighting. The imagery is great and the way Rollin composes some of his frames, even lingering at times, coupled with the aforementioned, really create this tone of foreboding unease; I really don't know how to describe it but It is felt. Rollin injects his surreal imagery with a sensuality that just makes parts of this thing sexy as hell, and that has nothing to do with the nudity. If you go into this film expecting a VAMPIRE flick don't even bother cause this film is much more about mankinds' lust for greed and desire for anything and everything and you know.. Human Evolution.
