Lips of Blood
Lèvres de sang
Frédéric sees a photograph of a ruined seaside castle, which triggers a strange childhood memory. He then goes on a strange quest, aided by four female vampires, to find the castle and the beautiful woman who lives there.
Why it matters
A haunting blend of gothic atmosphere and erotic vampire mythos that lingers like a fever dream.
- A rare French vampire film that leans into mood and mystery over gore, steeped in surreal visuals and languid pacing.
- Four female vampires embody both menace and allure, offering a decadent take on vampiric seduction rarely seen outside Eurocult cinema.
- Perfect for fans of 1970s continental horror and the shadowy, fetishistic vein of directors like Jean Rollin or Jess Franco.
- The castle itself is a character—ruined, fog-shrouded, and dripping with melancholy—a pilgrimage site for lovers of haunted spaces and nostalgic dread.
