This erotic horror film, set in 1905, tells the story of a thief who seeks refuge in a castle owned by two women, Eva (Brigitte Lahaie) and Elizabeth (Franca Mai). The women are seductive and teasing, but turn out to be part of a vampiric cult of blood-drinking aristocrats.
Why would you drink the blood of an ox as a way to cure anemia? Why? I mean, maybe it would work... but there has to be a better way, even in 1905.
I must say, this film is a very interesting twist on the siege subgenre of horror (a subgenre John Carpenter loved to explore). The thief in a house with two lovely ladies while the villagers outside want him dead and may try to bust in to get him... good stuff.
The style is all Rollin, and the plot is surprisingly better than some of his other work, not just relying on pointless lesbian vampire sex scenes. This may be the best film he has ever made, at least of those I have seen.
