BLOOD OF THE VIRGINS 1967 (SINISTER CINEMA)

I have been trying to see this film for years, but have never had the chance.

This is a made in Argentina vampire movie that really is bizarre.

The story opens as a young woman is forced to make a painful decision. her parents want her to marry a certain man while she loves another. Ofelia (Susana Beltran) would rather marry her lover Gustavo (Walter Kliche), but he refuses to meet her parents for "reasons" and she is forced to marry Eduaurdo instead.

On their wedding night they are interrupted by Gustavo who is actually a vampire. He kills Eduaurdo and turns Ofelia into his living dead bride.

Flash ahead to the 1960's and a group of young people experience car trouble and decide to stay at an abandoned castle. They find a mysterious servant there who has a dinner prepared for them and tells the guests that the castle is empty. The three women in the group disappear and the men, including Tito (Ricardo Bauleo) try to discover what is happening.

In the meantime Ofelia is trying to decide if she should try and end her undead life. This film has some really bizarre moments in it and scene you won't soon forget. The print is beautiful with dark colors and it is subtitled in English. It's always nice to see these films from other countries and their take on vampire lore.
