Review of The Nude Vampire

It all begins with a little mystery as we see a pretty girl trying to escape from a bunch of masked guys wearing smokings (really). The girl comes across Pierre, a young playboy whose father is a bored millionaire experimenting on all kinds of artificial youth. The girl gets shot, the masked murderers escape with her body, and later Pierre finds out that the nymph is his father's prisoner. All that without a word being said. But when the dialogues kick in, it just goes down, because Jean Rollin sure isn't a real convincing poet. There are also a lot of useless nude scenes, where some girls dance to the sound of fake tam-tams. The movie was maybe daring in '69, but it is a little dated now and we can't help but laugh when we see the improbable ending, where some guys on a beach pretending to be in another dimension and wearing blue make-up tell the viewer to take care about the mutant race of the future... Awful.
