The Velvet Vampire

The Velvet Vampire

Directed by Stephanie Rothman

A married couple are invited to the desert home of bisexual female vampire Diane LeFanu, not realizing she’s a centuries-old bloodsucker keen on adding them both to her stable of lovers. Female vampires who swing both ways have been a staple of the genre since Sheridan LeFanu’s “Carmilla” and 1936’s DRACULA’S DAUGHTER. But THE VELVET VAMPIRE stands out for being one of the few such tales directed by a woman, in this instance cult director Stephanie Rothman (TERMINAL ISLAND) who mixes gauzy erotic dream sequences, comedy and nightmarish neck-biting in very fun fashion.

Sucked, no pun intended. One of those movies where the end of the movie undoes everything you saw for the last 90 moves. But one star for each topless women. Even though the movie was garbage, it had some nice eye candy.

Not as good as Daughters of Darkness but it’s stylish as hell and has a scene where the titular vampire sensually eats a raw chicken while wearing a pink widow-who-just-killed-her-rich-husband robe. So there’s that.

This was such a bad film. Acting was bad. This film didn’t do the 70’s justice.

Some really nice dreamlike sequences and a gorgeous looking antagonist. I also enjoyed the music but the kills are pretty disappointing. Still worth a watch in my opinion.

Some interesting imagery, particularly the slow dissolves. Unintentionally funny at times, due to poor writing and flat acting. A bit sexy at times, but nothing special.
