“Marie and Michelle are two girls dressed as clowns and on the run from someone with a grudge, this is at least where the film begins with a shoot u0026#39;em up car chase through the french countryside. There male companion gets killed in the crossfire and the girls decide to hide out in a seemingly deserted Château where they indulge themselves in some Lesbian sex before they discover they are not alone .The last surviving Vampire and his followers want to enrol the two girls in to the realms of the living dead, but not before they get the girls to lure some fresh blood to the château with the promise of sex.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRollinu0026#39;s imagery is superb,two wonderfully colourful clowns wandering through barley is quite an exquisite scene,in this often ponderously slow film, the vampires look cool except for some dodgy fangs, there isnu0026#39;t too much of a plot really and I can readily see why some would hate Rollinu0026#39;s work. Rollin seems to my eyes to have his own unique language of film which he sticks to till the bitter end. My main problem with the film is that it was cut to bits, The DVD sleeve said 88mins where in actuality it was a paltry 76mins,IMDB says 95mins so Iu0026#39;m not too sure what Iu0026#39;ve missed and how badly the continuity was hampered by this, a lot I would guess.Not my last Rollin film,Iu0026#39;ll certainly watch some more”
