Synopsis:

A truly amazing and utterly spellbinding take on the vampire theme, with the director, the late Jean Rollin successfully mixing elements of the fairytale, surrealism, horror and eroticism into a striking visual feast that is almost devoid of dialogue. Centring on two young women on the run from a robbery who take refuge in a ruined castle, Requiem was to establish Rollin's unique eroticised take on the vampire. It is a fitting tribute to his work. Jean Rollin died on 15th December 2010.

This fourth feature from cult horror director Jean Rollin begins with two girls dressed as clowns making a mad getaway from a reform school. The girls end up in the clutches of 'The Last Vampire,' a somewhat pathetic creature seeking to reproduce his race. Marie-Pierre Castel and Mireille d'Argent are the damsels in distress. Despite the lurid American title (Caged Virgins) this film is probably the closest Rollin came to straight horror.

A vampire lures beautiful young women to his castle in Europe.
