REVIEWED
“Thats the way it is with all that rich trash, they're all sick and rotten”
- Servant (Joe Dallesandro)
Downbeat, camp and slightly bawdy variant on Dracula. The count decides he needs to take a new wife, so heads to Italy. The count has 2 requirements they must be attractive and a virgin, luckily he stumbles onto a financially struggling aristocrat who has four eligible daughters, possibly.
Re-watching this purely because I got into a bit of a debate last night over which Paul Morrissey 'Warhol' horror production was better 'Blood' or 'Flesh'. I watch 'Flesh' every few years because its such a wonderfully camp version of Frankenstein myth, I've only ever seen 'Blood' once and didn't enjoy it, so left it alone. On rewatching I still don't particularly like it. I'll concur theres one or two really great moments, especially the iconic bathroom scene Kier drinks the blood. And I did notice the working class aspect of Dallesandro's character this time, shame he couldn't act for shit.

Would make an epic drinking game everytime Udo says Wergins. Ohh look its Roman Polanski hiding behind a mustache.
