    Hello!

    Some weeks ago I bought two Jess Franco movies from
    a local movie store that specializes in all kinds of
    cult movies, and so on. The movies were:

    1) Vampyros Lesbos
    2) She Killed In Ecstacy

    If I understood correctly, Franco shot them almost
    back to back and used same actors to some extent.
    For some reason, I had high hopes concerning
    Vampyros Lesbos. I thought it was going to be good.

    Unfortunately I was let down. This movie does have
    some stylish moments, but overall, I found it quite
    boring. For example, the vampire theme is virtually
    non-existent. The vampires are few and far between,
    and they do not even have those disgusting teeth
    like Christopher Lee had when he played Dracula.

    Then I watched She Killed In Ecstacy. I think it
    was better than Vampyros Lesbos, but I would not
    call it a great movie by any means. However, I
    think it is a pretty good movie that is worth
    watching at least once.

    The next Jess Franco film I am going to watch
    is Count Dracula (1970) starring Christopher
    Lee. I do not know if I am going to be disappointed
    again, but somehow I expect it to be a good movie.
