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.
