Vampire Ecstasy / Sin You Sinners

This is a fun movie from 1970s Grindhouse Cinema days. Be forewarned it has some decidedly "softcore" sex scenes. These days it would get an "R" or MA rating. The sets and costumes are great, but the plot as thin as a hemophiliac's blood! Great to see some women and men with natural bodies though. The other "bonus" movie "Sin You Sinners" is more interesting from a film history viewpoint, and is more artsy than erotic. Shot in black and white during the early 1960s. The plot concerns an aging Burlesque/Voodoo madame, her young female room mate, and a gigolo boyfriend-toy. The dialog and performances are surreal as is the plot. Definitely worthy of late night cult status. The Blu Ray transfer for Vampire Ecstasy renders all of the beautiful, low contrast golden color of the European AGFA 35mm film superbly. The bonus film is scratchy because that's all they had to work with! This lends a sleazy charm however.

One of Joe Sarno's masterpeices, a soft porn horror flick that's more than just a T&B fest-a fairly well thought out plot that would keep you interested even if the rarely clad,and frequently misbehaving female cast could not. Brings back fond memories of the 70's!

First, while there is some biting there are no fangs. In other words, no vampires. Lots of nudity and some sexual scenes, but over all I could have gotten more for my money by buying a adult anime or any other vampire movie. True, the woman are pretty and show no problem getting undressed. In fact there is a scene where Marie Forsa is naked and there seems to be no reason for it. The collector's edition has a commentary where we do find out a little about filming in Europe, how they got a real castle, how the crew got along and so on. There is also interviews, but they seem to cover the same ground. Over all I am interested in Marie Forsa and may get some of her other films, she did a total of three, but I would suggest skipping this film. No vampires, not a lot of ecstasy, not really what the cover promised.

To my surprise this wasn't Porn,,,ha ha...the way it was made it seemed like it was. I was expecting a Gothic Vampire movie, the Gothic was there, the vampire's were too, but they were so aggressive in ways not for blood. its still fun to watch, great for Adult parties, not for kids. although I thought it was great when I was a teenager. do I need to say why? Nevertheless, its a fun movie to watch, not boring at all.

If you're a big Joe Sarno fan, as am I, You will love this new remastered release.

This German film, which was actually released in 1973, would seem to offer fans of erotic horror a nice little treat. Perhaps it did at the time of its release, but the whole thing comes across as rather bland these days, and this resulted in a little disappointment for this viewer. The storyline itself also has some virtues to it, but the film's rather sparse elaboration of what is actually going on combined with its actors'/actresses' sometimes hard-to-understand English accents keep it from realizing its true potential. The plot revolves around the infamous Baroness Danielle Vaga, an infamous German aristocrat who cut a bloody swath through the pages of mediaeval history, taking delight in impaling many a victim and reportedly drinking her victims' blood. Strangely enough, the local villagers look upon her as a vampire and eventually burn her at the stake. Unfortunately, they forgot to thrust a "cross of Vaga" (actually, I could never really understand the word associated with the cross, so I'm just guessing it was "Vaga") through her heart. Thus, the Baroness swears she will return some day.It just so happens that a few ladies have been invited to the old castle, ostensibly to discover which of them is a true ancestor of the Baroness. Only two of these girls really matter (and I might add that these are the only two attractive women in the entire film); the constantly hot and bothered Helga carries the movie, as far as I'm concerned, during certain stretches. You also have a pair of uninvited guests who are looking for help following an automobile accident: this is a female doctor of arcane lore and superstition and her seemingly useless brother. Brother and sister are very close - much too close. With everyone in place, we learn bits and pieces about the Baroness' return, watch half-naked women dance and chant to annoying drum music, and meet with only mild erotica on our way to a finish I found disappointing.There is no gore to speak of, the erotic horror claims are highly exaggerated, all but two of the characters are either unimportant or unlikable, and there is nothing the least bit disturbing or frightening about the castle environment. Despite these facts, the movie actually holds together pretty well - if you can figure out the vague and hard to comprehend dialogue that tries to explain the point of the whole story. One should be aware that this film has also appeared under the titles The Devil's Plaything, Revenge of the Black Sisters, and Veil of Blood. I wouldn't go to the trouble of searching for a copy of the film, but it's worth watching.

good

Don't go in expecting the film "Vampyres". But honestly, there is something magical about this film. It is dark and creepy in a "Hammer" sort of way. The head mistress is very cunning and seductive and the actress plays her part very well. Creepy bongo-type music plays throughout the film. Not super erotic like "Vampyros Lesbos" and "Vampyres" but still a good old-school film. More on the line with "The Vampire Lovers".

This was nothing like what we thought it was going to be, but never mind will still try again andprobably buy something else and hope for better next time!

I was hopeful this film might be above average your common all graveyard vampire films, alas it was not. When you watch boring films such as this you really appreciate how good the Hammer horror series of vampire films were. It was slow and tediious from the begining with the usual old sinister looking building the backdrop for the film. There was no explanation how possesion of the young women took place, (not the usual way in being infected by being bitten by a vampire.) There was a scene in the film where one of the female characters is attacked by bats and in order to combat this tears off her clothing, ( not a very effective way of defending yourself.)Normally I would have only give a film of this stature 1 star but as I have reviewed a number of films recently which were worse than this and credited them with 1 star it had to get 2. Perhaps a Turkey symbol or no stars award could be introduced as some films do not merit any award of a star at all.

Format: DVD. Qualität: Am Anfangsbild des Landsitzes grobkörnig, und mit weißen Flecken, wird aber dann besser und einer DVD gerecht.Sprachen: Deutsch und EnglischVampire Ecstasy oder auch "Der Fluch der schwarzen Schwestern" ist ein deutscher Film von 1973, der versucht auf der Vampirwelle der 70er Jahre mitzureiten, jedoch aufgrund durchschnittlicher Schauspieler, und schwachem Drehbuch nur mit viel nackter Haut glänzt.Es spielt in einem abgelegenen Landsitz, der von einer Handvoll Frauen und einem Stallburschen bewirtschaftet wird. Dorthin verschlägt es mehrere Personen, u.a. auch ein Geschwisterpaar, die mit wirksamen Kreuzen aus irgendwelchen nicht näher benannten, aber Vampir abschreckenden Kräutern hergestellt sind. Das Geheimnis des Landsitzes besteht darin, dass die Personen des Landsitzes die Wiedergeburt einer Vampirin vorbereiten wollen, deren Geist unter gewissen Umständen in den Körper eines präparierten Wirtskörpers einfahren kann..Dies will das Geschwisterpaar verhindern, dass obwohl zufällig da, doch nicht so ganz zufällig da ist. Denn bei den beiden handelt es sich um Nachfahren der Blutlinie der Vampirin, und sie wurden durch den Ruf des Blutes angelockt.Leider verliebt sich der Bruder der Geschwister in eine ebenfalls dort "gestrandete" Frau, die von den Frauen des Landsitzes geistig unterworfen wurde, was aber von den Geschwistern nicht bemerkt wird. Zudem ist die Schwester heimlich in ihren eigenen Bruder verliebt, und will ihn nicht an die Vampirin verlieren, auch nicht als ihr von den Oberpriesterin der Sekte der Vorschlag gemacht wird, wenn sie sich auf ihre Seite schlägt, kann sie ihren Bruder haben, wenn sie ihn auch mit der Frau, in der er sich verliebt hat, wird teilen müssen.Leider wird die Story etwas holprig umgesetzt, und die Darsteller glänzen nicht gerade, wie bereits erwähnt.Das einzig erwähnenswerte ist, dass man jede der 8-10 Frauen in dem Film mindestes einmal halbnackt sieht, und zwei wirklich hübsche dabei sind: Die "Hülle" für den Geist der Vampirin und die Frau in die der Bruder des Geschwisterpaares sich verliebt.Das allein reicht aber nicht für eine positive Bewertung.Fazit: Wer einen langweiligen Film mit des öfteren halbnackten und manchmal auch nackten Frauen sehen will, sollte hier zugreifen. Alle anderen sollten besser die Finger davon lassen.

内容はストーリーも単純なエログロ・ホラーですが、何となく古臭くて良い雰囲気が漂っていました。
