Convincing but cheap, its erotic moments are creepy and sexy and it never resorts to blood just to make a point. That would have been fine in most horror films, but Female Vampire isn't a horror film with a creepy atmosphere, it's more like a creepy atmosphere with a horror film. Romay is sexy and convincing -- Franco has wisely let his villains remain mute, eliminating a lot of silliness. Taylor is refreshing as a poet who believes his destiny is to join her in immortality. A lot better than some of Franco's other 300-someodd movies.
