Daughter of Dracula (1972)

This is a French film with English subtitles that has a few mildly interesting moments, but can HARDLY be called a masterpiece in erotic horror. Early on we watch as a nude young woman in her bathtub is suddenly attacked by an unseen vampire. She screams once, and its all over. All we see of the vampire is one eye staring at the girl before she's bitten. Later, we watch a beautiful young blonde woman sensually disrobing at a nightclub for an appreciative audience of both men AND women. If her audience had been only MEN it wouldn't have been anywhere near as hot as it was! Later, the dancer goes home and is attacked after undressing completely. Again, we see the vampire's eye staring at her, and seconds later she screams and it's all over. The first girl/girl scene in this film takes place when the beautiful young blonde vampire, named Luisa (Carmen Yazalde), begins making out with her pretty cousin, Karine (Anne Libert). Both girls get naked and go at it in bed while a piano plays downstairs. It was marginally erotic, at best. Later, we see them both together again, nude in bed. This second encounter is slightly better than that first one. Both girls have nice bodies! Oh yeah, there's also a male vampire for some reason buried in the crypt who keeps opening his eyes threateningly when people disturb him. I think he's supposed to be the scary mastermind behind all of the attacks. This film is NOT Jess Franco's best work!

Jess Franco is a master of eroticism. While not his best effort. It's still a fun trip thru a combo of sexploitation & lesbian vampire films.

NOT A BAD MOVIE.

Item as described, arrived as expected.

Interesting Twist on the classic Vampire story

A beautiful transfer of a lesser Jess Franco film. 1 star for how nicely it was shot. 1 star for the ladies.

“Daughter of Dracula," directed by Jess Franco in 1972, was inspired by the enormously popular Hammer horror films made in England. Franco looked back to the iconic monsters of the 1930s, placed them in labyrinthine castles and crypts of the Spanish countryside, and spiced up the thrills with nudity and eroticism — uncommon in American films of the period. The film is loosely based on Sheridan LeFanu’s “Carmilla.”A series of brutal killings are plaguing a remote European village. The locals insist they are the work of vampires, but a police inspector (Alberto Dalbes) and a reporter (Fernando Bilbao) dismiss this claim as superstition. The murders coincide with the arrival of beautiful Luisa Karlstein (Britt Nichols), summoned by her dying mother, who tells Luisa she is the direct descendent of a man who harbored a terrible secret.The movie is a combination of the lesbian vampire theme; the Italian giallo genre, usually with mystery elements and often with slasher, supernatural horror, or crime fiction elements; and sexploitation. There aren’t any really scary horror moments. Count Dracula himself (Howard Vernon) is a character but remains in his coffin throughout. As a vampire films go, this is pretty tame stuff, the pace is far too slow to create much suspense, and the acting is merely fair.Bonus features on the unrated widescreen Blu-ray release include new audio commentary by film historian Tim Lucas, alternate “safe” footage (less sexually explicit), and original theatrical trailer. The film is in French, with optional English subtitles.

Terrible movie.. made up of cut scenes from earlier movies. Basically soft core porn

it doesn't work in west Yorkshire

I'm giving this release four stars on the strength of the extra features on the bluray alone, mostly the commentary. As for the movie, it's Franco so you either get it or you don't.

Nach anfangs technischen Schwierigkeiten mit meiner Abspielanlage konnte ich die BlueRay Disc dann verwenden und letztlich behalten.

IT WAS THE BEST DRACULA MOVIE MADE!
