Blood of the Tribades

This is no doubt, a very weird movie that pays homage to Rollin, Franco, Vadim, and other Euro outcast cinema. I love how it mixes a little of the melodrama of Hammer in as well. The story without spoilers...not that it matters a whole lot for a movie like this is that these women vampires have forgotten everything and they are being hunted by men for plaguing them, except they aren't actually doing it. The leader of the men is a demagogue using religion and political pressure to blame everyone he can. Sound familiar? This movie is basically like Hitler fights the vampires and they rise up against him. Except it is not Hitler, it's Grando. And wow is Seth Chatfield's over- the-top performance as Hitler, I mean Grando, really fun and solid! The two lead women are exceptional as well. Also, so many penises. 9/10 because I wanted it to be longer. Not the penises. The movie.

This was a really fun 70s throwback that extended beyond the movies it pays homage to by adding more modern politics. Great performances, even if there are those intentionally (I think) stiff moments to match the older style. Either way, very entertaining and strange movie. If you dig 70s vampires, this is for you!

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.

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.

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.
