Synopsis:

La Vampire Nue (The Nude Vampire) was Jean Rollin s second feature film and his second exploration of the vampire legend. In it he mixes elements of science fiction, vampirism and eroticism in a truly magical way, mixing stunning colours, elaborate costumes, sexuality and dream-like visuals into a truly sumptuous mix of the surreal and the unreal. A doctor with an obsessive desire for immortality captures a mute, orphan vampire girl and keeps her prisoner for years while he seeks to replicate her blood. Unfortunately for the doctor, his son falls in love with the vampire girl and frees her with unexpected consequences.

Horror director Jean Rollin followed up Le Viol du Vampire with this equally strange excursion into vampiric eroticism. The plot concerns a suicide cult led by a mysterious figure known as The Master. Oliver Martin is the hero, who tries to rescue pretty Caroline Cartier from the cult, only to find out that yet another group of vampires wants to save her too. There's people with reindeer heads, the usual artsy sex and violence, and a science-fiction subplot about a doorway to another dimension (as in the later Phantasm). Maurice Lemaitre and Bernard Musson co-star in this pretentious but enjoyable shocker.

Wealthy and decadent industrialist Georges Radamante rules over a strange secret suicide cult and wants to achieve immortality by figuring out a way to share the biochemistry of a young mute orphaned vampire woman. Complications ensue when Radamante's son Pierre finds out what's going on and falls for the comely lass.
