Am I alone in finding Vampyros Lesbos a tedious and uninteresting experience and Soledad Miranda an insipid and uninteresting screen presence? The soundtrack was boss though. Totally overshadows the rest of the the production in my view. |

I don't think it's as good as it's made out to be - SHE KILLED IN ECSTASY is much better.

For instance, it's Victorian England, yet aluminium road signs are clearly visible, as are the odd electric light if you're paying attention. Then there's the sketch artist, who draws something that looks exactly like Kryton from Red Dwarf, when no-one recognises that (and who would?) then he just scribbles a few nondescript lines and they all go 'That's him!' Huh? And the ending, they come to arrest Kinski and he runs away for a couple of seconds then when they say 'Come with us' he just shrugs and goes 'Okay'. It's not a very thrilling or dramatic ending, I guess everyone involved had got bored by this point.

The soundtrack is incredible. Sexadelic Dance Party! Pride of place in my CD collection, next to Emanuelle in America.

The films of Uncle Jess certainly polarise opinion, but I believe that he is a greatly undervalued director.

For a wonderful atmospheric Franco experience try and track down the R1 Mondo Macabre release of DIABOLICAL DR Z - this has Pete Tombs' Franco documentary as an extra. They also released SINNER and LORNA THE EXORCIST. Tristan |
