Vampyros Lesbos: Die Erben des Dracula (Vampiros Lesbos, 1971)


Rather poor and nonsensical lesbian vampire film that has somehow become a cult classic, presumably simply because it features lesbian vampires and for no other reason. Still, the soundtrack is fascinatingly bizarre, if a little inappropriate, with wild psychedelic jazz one moment and strange robotic murmuring the next. Elsewhere, the attention to detail is appalling, the plot confusing and the performances poor. Not quite the hidden gem it was portrayed as.
