Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

gavin6942 This erotic vampire film features a young man on a strange quest after recognizing a castle on a poster. He seems to remember the castle from his childhood and eventually finds it with the aid of a strange woman dressed in white.Where does Jean Rollin get his locations? Because I am pretty sure he used the same fence in the water from a previously film. Is this his own private shooting set? Or what? Also, for those of you who have seen the many naked women in his films and were asking where the naked men were, this might be the film for you. I mean, there is only one, and you have to squint, but he is there.

Ben Larson Horror mixed with surrealism is not for everyone, but to those who enjoy the mix, Jean Rollin is a master. He makes low budget films, but he adds rich color and fascinating aspects that make you forget that.Frédéric (Jean-Loup Philippe) is running through the streets of Paris trying to find s castle seen in a photograph. What he will eventually find may not be what he was looking for.But, along with the photograph comes a vision of a woman, Jennifer (Annie Belle). He is haunted by this specter and, assisted by two vampires (twins Catherine & Marie-Pierre Castel) who remove obstacles from his path, eventually finds her.Where does it go from here? Atmospheric and erotic, it is a film that will remind you of the classic vampire tales.

suspiria56 The films of Jean Rollin will be an enigma to many who have not experiencing his work, yet for those who allow themselves to be taken elsewhere by his cinema it can prove a highly rewarding experience. The viewer is often taken to places that invoke bewilderment, unease, and sexual desire. By no means Rollin's best film, Levres De Sang (aka. Lips of Blood) is a beautifully lyrical, slow burner that has the uncanny ability to take the viewer into an ethereal, dream like world, where the erotic and the neurotic are intertwined.The story of a photographer, upon seeing a poster, is reminded of his childhood where a mysterious female vampire. However, this being Rollin, do not expect a traditional vampire movie (although his vampire films are arguably the most faithful to the Gothic aura and mythology of the vampire). Mostly dialogue free, with the acting catatonic, this only adds a surreal edge to the proceedings. And no vampire films have a greater sense of eroticism; it is easily to succumb to female vampires whenever they are on screen. For the uninitiated, approach with caution. But this is a fine example of the originality and unique approach which is to be found in 1970s European sex and horror cinema. Of which, Jean Rollin was undoubtedly the master.

Greg When I received my DVD copy of Lips of Blood, it took me half a year before working up the courage to block off 90 minutes for viewing. The DVD cover had me intrigued all right with a naked dead woman sitting on some kind of rock wall by the water, but being a vampire film released in 1975, I knew I had to be in the mood. Nearly six months later, the mood hit and I plopped Lips of Blood into the Blu-Ray player on a cold Friday night.As the film starts, I was beginning to envision the experience to something more like a Mystery Science Theatre viewing. There was dry dialogue at a cocktail party and the opening scene where two men bring two covered bodies down to some kind of cellar seemed more laughable than anything worthy of attention.But then Lips of Blood began to grow on me, and by it's conclusion I was thankful for this unique and atmospheric work.Lips of Blood centers on Fredric (Jean-Loup Philippe), a man who is both obsessed and beset by a picture of a landscape that reminds him of his youth. Frederic can remember the castle in the picture and he begins to have other memories of the location such as a woman for which he will spend most of the film searching.Frederic's obsession leads him to a cemetery where he opens multiple coffins unleashing female vampires onto the streets of Paris. It also leads him to being taken away by doctors and forced into a straightjacket – that is, until two of the female vampires come to his assistance.Frederic's obsession with female and the photo bring him to the brink of insanity and he finds himself hospitalized and put into a straightjacket for a short period of time until rescued by two female vampires that he unleashed unknowingly the night before Most of Lips of Blood has Frederic running around the streets of Paris tracking down his childhood memory while naked women parade across the big screen biting unsuspecting victims (God Bless you, director Jean Rollin). In fact, at a very brisk 87 minutes, Lips of Blood has enough full frontal nudity to do two or three of today's standard Hollywood horror flicks (again, God Bless you, director Jean Rollin) To enjoy Lips of Blood as much as one should, you really must have an appreciation for 1970's cinema. Set design was only a suggestion and the wardrobe is downright embarrassing (Frederic runs around with a padded shoulder and elbow sweater). But that doesn't stop Lips of Blood from being both impressive and erotic. It is distinctive and moody and it transported me back to when I used to sit in front of an old RCA television on Saturday afternoon trying to get ariel feeds on channel 24. It is a simple vampire film that tries to be nothing more. And sometimes, this is the best approach to providing the viewing public with some worthy entertainment.www.robertsreviews.com
