John (Brian Deacon) and Harriet (Sally Faulkner) are on a camping trip
and decide to put up their trailer next to a seemingly abandoned castle.
But while John enjoys the absolute peace of the place, Harriet is somehow
freaked out by the castle, and by the two women who sometimes pass them by
and who seem to live there after all ... And Harriet has all reason to
be worried, too, because the two neighbouring woman, Fran (Marinne Morris)
and Miriam (Anulka Dziubinska) are vampires who hitch rides with strangers
in the evening, give them the time of their lives, then suck them dry and
see to it that they are found in the wrecks of their cars the very next
day. Enter Ted (Murray Brown), who at first seems nothing more than
another hapless victim of Fran, but for some reason she leaves him alive
(though not without sucking some of his blood). The next morning leaves
Ted with a wound on his arm but without the woman he has spent the night
with, so he stops by John and Harriet's trailer to have his wound treated,
then he wants to travel on, but is somehow dragged back to Fran's castle,
where he spends and survives another night. The next day though, on his
way to wherever-it-is, he finds the other guest the girls were having
(Karl Lanchbury) dead in a car wreck. He returns to the castle again ... The
goings-on in the castle about which she actually knows nothing have arisen
the suspicion of Harriet, and when she breaks into the castle for a round
of investigating, she actually finds Fran and Miriam sleeping in the
basement like vampires, but when she tries to tell John, he outright
doesn't believe her. The next evening, Fran and Miriam bring home
another man (Michael Byrne) they have hitched a ride with, but while they
suck him dry, Ted, who has since become aware of his own situation but is
weakened from bloodloss, makes a desperate escape, but only makes it to
John and Harriet's trailer. Fran and miriam come after him and slaughter
John and Harriet, but then have to retreat as the sun is coming up. Ted
has survived it all, but when he later awakens in his car, he doesn't know
if any of this was real or just an alcohol-induced dream - after all,
there is this empty bottle of wine lying next to him ... A
great entry into the erotic vampire genre that gets next to everything
right: The two female vampires are sexy and get naked a lot, the direction
puts an emphasis on atmosphere, the gore scenes are well-placed and messy,
and the story has a hallucinatory quality to it that allows it to get away
with some far-out plot elements while remaining dead-earnest without
getting silly. Pretty good effort, actually.
