Sleaze auteur Franco's reputation among genre critics is both mystifing and touching. People complaining about Hammer's latter day efforts - not to mention Coppola's Dracula, an artsy big budget Hammer Gothic with Bava - prefer films of THIS director? Head cratching stuff. On the other hand, he had never pretensions of Tarantino - who makes exploitation trash-n-sleaze with big budget - while giving me faith that some day I can publish my personal home video and call it a movie!
So, to Vampire Blues. It's a mix of vacation video and porno close ups, terrible effects and decidedly unglammed female cast. Everyone looks extremely unattractive - including the heroine.
Oh well, Countess von Murnau is great name for a vampire.
