Fantastic!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The Blu-ray had very good visual restoration and concentrated less on the audio, which was almost untouched. A son takes an interest in his father's experiments on a woman in a see-thru garment who feeds on blood and can not be out in the sun. She has that immortality thing which he wants. The killing scenes were rather campy, especially the candlestick which killed two people while being waved through the air. The roll down the stairs scene lasted long enough to make me laugh. The shot to the head was also a laugh. The movie didn't have that great of a plot. Gratuitous nudity, but I expected more from the title character.

This film essentially begins with a scantily clad woman (Caroline Cartier) being stalked at night by men wearing animal masks. She happens to come across a young man named "Pierre Radamante" (Olivier Rollin) and although she doesn't say a word to him appears to be attracted to him all the same. But as luck would have it, the stalkers corner the young couple and shoot the attractive woman. They then allow Pierre to escape while they take the woman's body back to a large mansion. Not long afterward, Pierre manages to enter this mansion and discovers this same woman drinking blood from the body of a woman who has just killed herself. It's all rather strange but this is essentially how most of the movie plays out with one bizarre occurrence after the other and the audience is left trying to make some sense of it all. Throw in some gratuitous nudity here and there and that pretty much sums up the overall plot. Only at the end does the director (Jean Rollin) tie it all together. The acting is bad, the costumes were pathetic and the dialogue (which was originally recorded in French and later dubbed in English) is extremely basic. On the other hand, I liked the artistic use of nudity and the way the director maintained the mystery from start to finish. Be that as it may, I felt that the good attributes failed to outweigh the bad and for that reason I have rated the film accordingly. Slightly below average.

Jean Rollin is admired by many of my fellow Eurohorror enthusiasts for his delirious visual elegance. I agree that Rollin's films are visually overwhelming. While I get why people admire this talent, however, I mostly do not find the style of Rollin's films sufficient to make up for the complete lack of a logic, continuity, or anything happening. The one exception is his great Zombie Gore film "Les Raisins De La Mort" ("The Grapes of Death", 1978). The prime example for Rollin's tendency to be stylish but boring is arguably "La Rose De Fer" ("Rose of Iron") of 1973, which is simultaneously one of the most visually elegant, and one of the most tiresome Horror films I ever sat through. It is not quite as bad with "La Vampire Nue" aka. "The Nude Vampire" (1970). The film is, once again, visually elegant and at least some events are happening in this film. However, they almost entirely lack any logic or tension.The storyline is (very vaguely) about a bunch of scientist who want to examine the secret of immortality, and a pretty girl who is immortal as long as supplied with blood. Luckily for her, there is a suicide cult of people willing to sacrifice their own lives in order for the girl to maintain her immortality. Why? - Because! Then there are many long sequences of typical Rollin nonsense. This is not to say that the film has no genuine qualities. As mentioned above, the settings and cinematography are highly elegant. The female cast members are very nice to look at, and some of them have exhibitionist tendencies. However, there's not even quite as much female nudity as one might expect in a Rollin flick called "The Nude Vampire". The two twin maids (played by twins Marie-Pierre and Catherine Castel), who are dressed up in nothing but a bunch of bizarre gold plates, are the most notable aspect of the whole film; apart from being lovely to look at, they also provide the film's funniest and most interesting moments.I cannot say that "La Vampire Nue" is a complete failure; the film has its qualities, and might be appreciated by fans of surreal stuff. However, even though I consider myself to be exactly that, I fund this to be rather tedious. Overall, this is worth checking out for Rollin-fans. When it comes to European directors associated with erotic Horror films, I will personally always prefer the great Spaniard Jess Franco, some of whose films may be nonsensical, but almost all of them highly entertaining. My rating of "La Vampire Nue": 4/10

from the start of this movie you soon become aware that the name of the film has nothing to do with the movie itself from watching a naked woman being chased by people in very silly masks to servants running round in the worst clothing I've ever seen and all this in subtitles makes this the kind of movie you should think twice about seeing and as the film slowly moves along you soon realise that the vampire is not a vampire you got to wonder where the title came from some parts of the film made a bit of sense with Pierre and is father but as the film gets to its really silly ending you have got to think why end a film this way and surly they had a better ending if only in there heads this is not a film to watch basically
