Stunning in every department, this is a true adult fairytale that maintains a consistent tone from beginning to end.
After her gangster father "disappears", young Lila Lee (Chery Smith) receives a letter from Lemora (Lesley Gilb) inviting her to visit her missing father. Lila's bus journey to the Lovecraftian town of Astaroth where the mysterious bloodsucker Lemora lives is one of horror's finest stanzas.
As Lila, traveling alone, cowers from the presence of the creepy driver, the bus is attacked by misbegotten freaks who live like animals in the dark, hostile forest.
Young Lila's nymphet status does not go unnoticed by any of the men she encounters on her journey. At every turn, the brave moppet barely escapes the clutches of her guides.
Director Richard Blackburn helms this feature with enormous care and a clear, singular vision. The horror is never bloody or terribly violent, but the visual essaying of Lemora's undead world is unique in the annals of screen horror and the film's subtle eroticism is controlled with an iron discipline that managed to earn the film a tepid PG rating during its original theatrical release.
Cheryl Smith is a revelation as Lila Lee, capably handling the rapid shifts in tone and bringing a gradual maturity to her character.
The score, by Dan Neufeld, is beautiful and haunting, giving the vibrant images a great depth and resonance.
I can't rave enough about LEMORA.
