The Legendary Spanish director Jess Franco is known for some fantastic cinema, alas this certainly isn't among them and will be a blotch on his record.
It follows a female fronted rock band as they break down on route to their next gig and get invited into a foreboding looking castle for the night.
Essentially our antagonist is a blatant ripoff of the Countess Elizabeth Báthory with a couple of human minions who help her acquire the blood of the young (Virgins not required in this instance)
Though advertised as a horror this is a very camp attempt and more like a comedy. One character in particular played by Santiago Segura (Blade 1998) is so over the top and so zany any hope of the film being taken seriously went out the window.
The movie has a decent lead and memorable soundtrack though they really should have considered writing more songs and not playing the same one on a loop.
The Good:
Great leading lady
The Bad:
Looks very dated
Not exactly a horror
Soundtrack gets repetitive
Dumbest ending in cinema history? Definite contender
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Before throwing a naked woman out a window to her death it's only polite to put a nightie on her first
