A re-watch for me, but after watching Lorna last night and wanting to see something Carmilla related. Except I couldn't find my copy. I have it on BluRay somewhere but no idea where. A quick search on the old smart TV and I found it and another flick.
Female Vampire is still mostly a sexploitation film but there are enough horror elements and at least name service to one of the most famous vampires in print.
I was hoping for some deep insight this time around, but while the horror elements are there, this is still just shy of porn.
Die Marquise von Sade / The Portrait of Doriana Grey (1976)
One could be excused if you were watching this movie and thought you were still watching Female Vampire. Lina Romay plays an immortal (check) countess (check) who prefers women (check) seems to get some sort of life-sustaining essence from the act of oral sex (check) and her twin sister feels all the pleasure she herself can't feel...wait what?
Very similar in look and feel really though Romay is more animated in this movie. Again in this Romay's character seems to need these lovers to stay young and beautiful. The Dorian Grey part seems to come in with her twin sister keeping her young or as the receptacle of her feelings.
Combining these last three Lina Romay movies I could see a spell, curse or something in a horror game called "The Succubus' Gift". It keeps you forever young but you have to have sex with numerous victims, their life essence powers your immortality. Not a bad deal, but you have to do it forever and you could end up killing a lot of people.
