Comments: Apparently it's watch a movie with the word "nude" in the title day (which, all told, can never be a bad day). However, much like the "nude" before it, Jean Rollin's The Nude Vampire isn't very good. The film starts out promising: it's bizarre, there's hardly any dialogue, and the visuals are awesome. But eventually the characters begin to explain what's going on, and unfortunately everything becomes extremely tedious from here on out. There's a real distinct lack of anything interesting that happens in the last act. For example, the Rollin twins (one half of which is the lovely Marie-Pierre Castel) are chasing this woman through a cemetery. With Rollin, you usually know one of two things is going to happen: they're all going to get naked or someone is going to viciously die. What happens? After the chase, the woman passes out after on a grave. Fully clothed. End scene. She's never seen from again. What?
