BLOOD OF THE TRIBADES is an American indie horror flick made as a tribute to the lesbian vampire flicks of old such as VAMPYRES and DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS. As such, there's not much plot of sorts, but plenty of visual imagery in the tale of dangerous femme fatales seducing and vampirising unsuspecting men. At times the film recalls the glory days of Jean Rollin and his oeuvre, but as soon as any of the non-actors open their mouths it tends to fall apart due to the wooden line delivery. There's at least one bloody set-piece and lots of tasteful nudity involving voyeurism, bathing, and skinny dipping.
View MoreSee it. See it soon. A wonderful piece of connoisseur-trash-art-core. It is hard to capture the feeling of an era and a specific style of filmmaking, but the team behind "Blood of the Tribades" manages to re-create and expand the genre of 1970s lesbian vampire film. Hooray! Blood! Sex! History! Gender theory!
View MoreThe movie begins decent enough with a summary of the backstory through an interesting monologue and moves directly into a scene full of nudity and some mild gore. Sounds like what an independent horror movie should be, right?Soon after, they try to develop the story and it gets muddled and lost and loses focus. The movie focuses too much on the poorly- written script and begins to lose anyone who watches for the action, gore, or odd nature of indie horror. The blu ray transfer looks nice, and the movie is well made, but the positive aspects end there. For much of the movie, we have to sit through long, drawn-out scenes of people walking slowly in cloaks from point A to B and delivering painful, biblical dialogue. I know they tried to mimic older Euro vampire films, but this does not have the gritty, evil feel those movies had. Overall, a very poor effort all around after a few promising scenes at the beginning. I had tot urn it off about an hour and I rarely ever have to do that.
View MoreThis is no doubt, a very weird movie that pays homage to Rollin, Franco, Vadim, and other Euro outcast cinema. I love how it mixes a little of the melodrama of Hammer in as well. The story without spoilers...not that it matters a whole lot for a movie like this is that these women vampires have forgotten everything and they are being hunted by men for plaguing them, except they aren't actually doing it. The leader of the men is a demagogue using religion and political pressure to blame everyone he can. Sound familiar? This movie is basically like Hitler fights the vampires and they rise up against him. Except it is not Hitler, it's Grando. And wow is Seth Chatfield's over- the-top performance as Hitler, I mean Grando, really fun and solid! The two lead women are exceptional as well. Also, so many penises. 9/10 because I wanted it to be longer. Not the penises. The movie.
