Thrill of the Vampires

Cult director's Rollin's psychedelic romp (which he called "for many my most accomplished film") follows two newlyweds whose honeymoon takes them to an ancient castle populated by philosophy-spouting hippy vampires who set about spreading their concept of free love—and vampiric nature—to the frigid young bride. Rollin viciously deconstructs the exploitation mold with art-damaged stylistic excess—striking color filters, Gothic set design, ruminations on ennui, and a prog rock score by teenage band Acanthus.
