Requiem for a Vampire
(★★★)
The second Rollin movie I’ve watched this week that features clown make up. Which is not a good thing, but I won’t ding is too much for that…
This is the tale of two free spirited gals. By free spirited I mean that they seem to wander around with not much or a plan (or even much dialogue) and aren’t concerned with legality or giving thought before shooting at something. Though since it starts out with them being pursued on an automotive gun chase, they must had had some kind of a plan at some point.
Anyway, this meandering about leads to some nice seems in a cemetery and they eventually find their way to a strange and morbid castle where every sign of a person seems to be a dead person, until they encounter a strange fanged woman playing the organ.
Turns out, there’s vampires about!
This was alright, not too exciting, the characters weren’t particularly interesting or fleshed out (the old vampire was certainly the best one), and the red-tinted scenes of the vampire’s minions mauling ladies in the dungeon seemed a bit excessive. But it’s worth a watch (to me anyway) for the visuals of the scenes in the cemetery and the nighttime ceremony.
