Blood of the Tribades

See it. See it soon. A wonderful piece of connoisseur-trash-art-core. It is hard to capture the feeling of an era and a specific style of filmmaking, but the team behind "Blood of the Tribades" manages to re-create and expand the genre of 1970s lesbian vampire film. Hooray! Blood! Sex! History! Gender theory!

Male vamps turn on female vamps. It's certainly quite cheap looking, but there's a real 70s/Rollin vibe to it. Unfortunately, it's got none of the style or craziness of Rollin and is really badly acted. Tits and social commentary do not a good film make - especially when it's all just a bit crap.

The overall tone of the film is set within the first few minutes. What you see is what you get. It's a throwback film in many ways to the 70s Euro art-house lesbian vampire genre. The setting is colorful and captivating - and coupled with the terrific score, they work to really set the mood and atmosphere. It's obvious the cast and crew worked hard to create a fully-realized world that would resonate with fans of the genre. So, if you're a fan of indie films, vampires, lesbians, Hammer Films horror, 70s era films - or just looking for something competent, refreshing, and containing scenes of blood and sensual sexiness - go ahead and settle in, sit back, and give it a whirl.

Very slow, rather boring sentence movie that tries to be artistic but fails miserably.

Some reviews here say this is a throwback to Hammer films. It's not. It sucks and not like a vampire.

The acting is horrible. Like below summer stock quality. More like middle school. Also the vampire story rips apart vampire lore with vampires running around in bright sunrise. Really? When did that happen?

The haunting string music is OK, but it doesn't help to mitigate how badly made this movie is. It drones on and on, boring the heck out of the viewer.

I had a hard time getting beyond the poor direction, the dumb story-line and the abysmal acting. But being that loofah in the beginning would be fun.

Seemingly a homage to older vampire historical period piece films. As a stand-alone film there isn't much interest to be had. It is quite slow moving and relatively confusing at times. Featuring many bland characters that seemingly come into the screen with nothing telling.

The visuals are solid and there is nice shots of the scenery. Overall the story just isn't as interesting as expected and is quite boring majority of time.

Directed by Sophia Cacciola, whom directed other art house horror film Ten (2014). There are vast differences here with that film. With Ten being more intriguing. Featuring more skin show especially a rather lengthy bloody scene towards the end.
