Having watched all three movies in this set on consecutive nights, I came away with mixed feelings.

I found the first film, "The Rape of the Vampire," almost unintelligible. The second film, "The Shiver of the Vampires," is much more straightforward to me, as it involves man on a honeymoon with his new bride, who stops at a medieval castle as she wishes to visit her cousins. They turn out to be vampires intent on converting her to the undead. As mentioned in the DVD booklet, one of the more interesting aspects of this film is the soundtrack, a bizarre yet eerie score that could only come out of the 1970s.

The last film, "Requiem for a Vampire," has definitely the most nudity and sexual content. It involves 2 schoolgirls playing hooky who wind up in a ruined castle full of vampires. It's also unexpectedly funny at times as the girls have a pistol and fire seemingly unlimited amounts of bullets during the various chase sequences.

All in all, these films appear to be more about strange or erotic imagery and haunting music rather than plot. Get them if seeing the surreal world created by Jean Rollin piques your curiosity. It may not make a lot of sense after the first, or several viewings, but indeed the images do leave an impression that you're not likely to forget.
