Our Curator, Kim Newman says: The high concept of Paul Morrissey’s elegant yet gruesome vampire pastiche is that Udo Kier’s Dracula (with uniquely strangled Transylvanian dialogue delivery) is so desperate for virgin blood that he travels to Italy because, as a catholic country, there will be fresher victims. However, this doesn’t reckon with the sullen presence of a resentful communist stud – Joe Dallesandro, in an endearingly blockheaded non-performance – who is systematically sleeping with the four daughters of dotty Vittorio De Sica’s aristocratic, yet penniless family. The most memorable sequences show Dracula’s violent reaction to the taste of non-virgin blood, with Kier spewing copious amounts of red, red blood all over an art deco bathroom.
Screening takes place on Sunday night, midnight.
