Vierges et vampires (1971)

PRESS

1973

Cinefantastique vol.3 no.1 (Fall 1973) p.38 (USA)
NOTE: this is a review of several Rollin films and the review applies to all of them.
"Rollin includes the requisite sex and nudity to satisfy his producer and to make the films financially profitable, while, at the same time, attempting to fashion a worthwhile genre film (and this attempt is often far from obvious). Unfortunately, the exploitation content of the films is too all-pervading to allow them to be anything more than interesting curiosities, and that is being charitable (...) Rollin's continued use of colour spot lighting for unusual photographic effects becomes tiresome, as does the nudity and bad acting, and the films all too obviously show the carelessness and lack of planning in their production." - Impossible is not French by Jean-Claude Morlot

1999

Fangoria no.188 (November 1999) p.68 (USA)
"(O)verflowing with the director's trademark obsessions, it contains a few unpleasant torture scenes but is mostly a moody meditation on the nature of vampirism and friendship." - Michael Gingold
