Synopsis:
Jean Rollin's second feature film, and his first in colour, The Nude Vampire ( La Vampire nue ) finds the master of the fantastique combining his trademark erotic-vampire themes with a homage to the mystery serials of his youth.
When Pierre (Olivier Martin), the son of a wealthy industrialist, witnesses a beautiful woman (Caroline Cartier) being pursued and captured by men in bizarre masks, he decides to investigate, uncovering a sinister vampire cult...
Starring Caroline Cartier ( Lumière ), veteran French character actors Bernard Musson ( The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie ) and Paul Bisciglia ( The Demoniacs ), Lettrist artist Maurice Lemaître (co-writer of Rollin's The Iron Rose ), and Rollin regulars Olivier Martin ( The Rape of the Vampire ) and twins Cathy and Marie-Pierre Castel ( Lips of Blood ), The Nude Vampire is one of Jean Rollin's most eccentric and effective works.
