The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Requiem for a Vampire (1971)

AKA: Caged Virgins

Director: Jean Rollin

Premise:
Two woman on the run find a remote castle. They find it inhabited by a group of people in the middle of turning into vampires and they want the girls to bring them victims.
The castle actually is home to the last living vampire and he is tired of living.

My Take:
Like most of Jean Rollin's movies, there are hit and miss for me. This one misses, despite the fact it's one of the more straight forward stories he's done.
All the staples are there. You might like it more than me.

Rating: Warning
