After the murder of a local woman, the police investigations of a suspect forces him to relive the experience of being tempted by sisters who live next door that turn him into a vampire like them and sends him out on a killing spree on his neighbors and forcing him to stop himself.
This is a rather high-brow type of pinku film. A lot of this is the fact that this goes in a different direction by offering a touch of class to the proceedings rather than the out-and-out exploitation efforts usually featured here. There are plenty of scenes here featuring more traditional camera-work and setups that would be found in other pink films of that time, from the stylized cinematography showing the sisters leaving the apartment and being out on the hunt to the scenes of the two making love in her apartment framed by a series of ornamental statues lying in the room. These shots, as well as intricately-arranged scenes spread liberally throughout the movie, make it feel much bigger and grander than a traditional pink film and really elevate the film. Likewise, production values are certainly high and most elements present, from the strong sex scenes that have a hint of erotic charm during all the scenes featured, such as the scene in his apartment that ends up turning him into the vampire and the different scenes of him going through the different natives in the village around him. Even more shocking is the grand gore-shot at the end which is exceptionally graphic with plenty of fun bloodshed and leaves quite an impression. While these work well for the film, it does have some major problems. The biggest is undoubtedly the film's script, which is wafer-thin and really lacks much of the smarts it thinks it has. The film's admittedly shocking finale works on the extreme it goes to rather than any sort of twist or any other turn of events since by going through the motion of the police-investigation-backstory the way this plays out, the ending is telegraphed from the opening frames of the film and ambles on to this predictable finish. Furthermore, the sisters' erratic behavior and quirks telegraph their true nature from the start and his inability to recognize this allows him to look foolish for not seeing what the audience knows all along. This is all the fault of the decision to do the whole film with this investigative angle. As well, the final twist has little resonance or impact having been used numerous times since which dilutes the impact it has, letting the film end on a somewhat sour note overall.
