It was clear to me that this film could not be a masterpiece in any way. Directed by the same person who directed "The Curious Dr. Humpp" and starred by an actor like Rolo Puente, this film could not be taken seriously. I knew it was going to be unintentionally humorous and I wasn't mistaken. Of course it was cheesy, the acting wasn't Academy Award material and the film encloses several unintentionally side-splitting situations, but whoever said a horror film cannot be enjoyed when it reunites these qualities, is wrong.
In "Blood of the Virgins", a group of obnoxious friends go on a vacation trip to Bariloche in order to party all the time and be naughty all night long. As they're driving, the van breaks down and they have no choice but taking refuge in a dark cottage that seems to be forsaken (oh, this is new!). The place looks eerie, but it is not actually abandoned. The owners of the place are Ofelia and Eduardo, a couple of centenary vampires that have been living in the shadows for a very long time, waiting for young blood to feed themselves and get stronger. The first ones to disappear are the girls, which is not surprising, given that they're extremyly idiotic. After that, the guys start looking for them and even face the ones who started all that chaos.
The film is stupid and cheesy and I doubt anyone would think otherwise (including the director and all the people involved in this). Of course, there are some good moments of gore and utterly red, fake blood and this is always enjoyable in these kinds of horror flicks. The landscapes are also very beautiful (but do we really care about that in a horror film?) and the shots make them look dark and dangerous. I can only recommend "Blood of the Virgins" for anyone who can enjoy the bad side of horror films, with a lot of far-fetched situations, poor acting, fine looking topless girls for the guys and unintentionally hilarious special effects here and there. Rolo Puente without his famous mustache, looking young and fighting against an old couple of vampires with a bunch of unknown actors, is something that really made my day when I saw it.
