One of the few Larraz movies available in a decent print, this is a vigorous outing and what is lacking in story is more than made up for in full on naked and bloody action. The guys are all OK and the house plays a big part in keeping a reasonably creepy atmosphere but it is the two girls, Marianne Morris and Playboy model, Anulka who provide that little something extra. Whether it is running awkwardly through misty graveyards Jean Rollin style, cloaks a blowing or the bloody bed scenes, they seem completely convincing as the most ruthless of sex and blood seeking vampires. The quite couple in the nearby caravan provide contrast and the regular hitch hike pose provides action but it is the most visceral, gory action that captures the imagination.

Vampyres is one of the movies from the early '70s sex-horror female vampire sub-genre. In this respect, Jose Ramon Larraz film is reminiscent of Jean Rollin's work. But while Vampyres contains all the usual staples of Rollin's films ultra low budget and average at best acting, lyrical imagery and sensuality, interesting female leads and negligible male supporting cast it differs in that it contains much more bloody violence. And this is no bad thing.
The story is very straightforward. Two female vampires lure unsuspecting men back to their remote mansion, where the unfortunate chaps meet with a bloody climax (no pun intended).
While the dialogue and acting is, at times, shaky, the movie does conjure up some effective sequences. The…

Two female vampires pose as hitchhikers in order to find victims to fulfill their blood-lust. Not as good as other films in this genre.

Fran and Miriam, two bisexual vampires, live alone in a giant Gothic home in the British countryside. To satisfy their hunger, both for blood and lust, they lure men and women by posing as hitchhikers. Upon catching a lift, they take their prey back to their home for drinks, a romp in the bedroom, and finally the bloodletting. But when Fran begins to keep a victim alive, draining him of his life force as well as his sexual stamina, Miriam becomes a tad jealous. And when a British couple out caravanning camp out near the vamp's abode they begin to suspect some sinister happenings from within after Fran's plaything escapes.

Finally watched this one. Trashy? Yes! But enjoyable, just don't go into the cellar.

An enjoyably trashy mixture of horror and soft porn, this has a threadbare plot involving two bisexual vampire babes luring a succession of horny men to their deaths. Half of it is seen from the point of view of a young couple on holiday, whose caravan is parked near the vamps' spooky castle, and somehow this gives the film a tone closer to a Confessions or Carry On film, than to an actual horror or porn flick. And I mean that in a good way.

The pacing is more leisurely than stubble growth. The acting is less convincing than a Primary School nativity play. The writing must have taken less than half an hour. Recommend it to someone you really don't like.
