Directed by Jean Rollin
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
A Van Helsing-like professor and his protegé are tracking Dracula’s descendants through the world of “parallels”, creatures who are human in form but live quite distinct psychic lives. A circus dwarf who is in love with one of these creatures leads them to a mansion filled with oddly behaving nuns, The Order of the White Virgins. The nuns are detaining a beautiful woman who is the betrothed of the still-extant Dracula. When she escapes, everyone follows her to Dracula’s seaside castle, on the way dealing with a baby-eating ogress and a wolf-woman (Brigitte Lahaie in a cameo), witches and madwomen. The bizarre wedding ritual commences.

This is probably as flat as it gets for Jean Rollin, who seems to be trying to capture some of the magic of his earlier work but instead just makes a poor imitation. For reals I wasn’t sure if this was supposed to be a dry comedy. It’s not terrible, just lacking. But I give him points for trying.
Honestly thought this was a late seventies/ early eighties flick from the look and feel then Brigitte Lahaie shows up and I’m wondering why she looks old. Seriously did not know this was a 2000s film. So yeah points to Rollin.
