As always, there may be spoilers here. And the trailer may be NSFW and/or NSFL.
Session: Deadly Dykes (Week 3)
Movie: The Vampire Lovers (1970)
Directed by Roy Wood Baker
A beautiful lesbian vampire is killing villagers and trying to outsmart those who know who she is. Horror ensues.
Reaction and Other Folderol:
This was beautifully shot; the visuals were stunning. Of particular note was the scene near the beginning where the vampire appears as a shroud, floating through fog. And the intense blues and greens were beautiful.
Sadly, though, I had a hard time getting into this. Ingrid Pitt, as a vampire displayed some really great talent, but the characters weren't interesting and I found the plot to be a bit too simple. That may be in part because the movie was shot like a gothic horror film from ten years earlier. The kind with Vincent Price and old castles. I'm just not into those films, and this suffered in my estimation because of that.

Sharon's reaction to the trailer: "The lesson from this is...don't fall in love."
Cats: Yep! A big fluffy one. Maybe a Maine Coon, though I don't know for sure. I'm gonna name him Chunko.
