Artsploitation Films has tagged Sept. 27 as the street date
for the DVD debut of Spanish filmmaker Víctor Matellano’s English-language Vampyres,
an updated homage to Joseph Larraz’s
1974 classic of the same name (and spelling).
If you thought the original was erotic, Matellano’s Vampyres
has it beat by a mile.
If you thought the original was bloody, you’ve haven’t seen
anything yet! Matellano’s Vampyres
takes gore and sexual eroticism to levels that Larraz could only imagine back
in the early 70s.
Production values, a sweet soundtrack and some terrific f/x
are combined with the seductress vampires — Marta Flich (as Eva in Omnivores)
and Almudena León — to delivery a film that genre-fan’s would easily describe as
a “horror dream.”
And, in addition to their tried and true ways of seducing
men to their doom, they also expand their horizons to young things in the
nearby woods. Plus, for horror affectionados
the luscious, and seemingly ageless, Caroline Munro (yes, Bond Girl — The
Spy Who Loved Me), maintains order at the chalet that is the feeding
ground for vampires, Fran and Miriam.
