My favorite film by one of my top 5 favorite directors, Mr. Jean Rollin. This film was originally titled "Requiem pour un vampire," but it received a US release in the early 70's and was released, here in the US as, "Caged Virgins."
This is a BEAUTIFUL film! Like most of Rollin's material, it deals with vampires, but not really in a gory way, but a more surreal and erotic way.
The photography, French countryside location shots, eroticism, nudity, surreality, and some violence all make for a fabulous film!
This is readily available on DVD. However, if you have a DVD player that will play any region DVD, a distribution company in the Netherlands known as "Encore" released a beautiful 3 disc set for the film. This is one of 7 of Rollin's films that "Encore" released in a special 2 or 3 disc set, and they are worth every penny. Beautifully compiled bonus features, collectors booklets... the way a DVD should be made!
