Just finished watching Rollin's The Rape Of A Vampire so thought I'd give this thread a bump!

Picked it up on Redemption VHS at a nearby boot fair today and had no idea what to expect (having only seen Rollin's Grapes Of Death and his semi-directed Zombie Lake previously).


It's certainly not your typical exploitation vampire film, with it's chilling black and white cinematography and strange structure. Basically split into two films, the first half is his original short (from what I've read anyway). The rest is what was added on to make it full length and that part is so weird.

Loved the whole idea of whether the 'vampires' are really blood-sucking undeads or if it's just a mental illness. A very original film - one worth checking out if you come across it and like arty erotic horrors.

Awesome poster art too
