A duo of bisexual female vampires prey on passing motorists, whom they seduce and murder in the English countryside.

Why it matters

A lurid blend of eroticism and horror that channels 1970s European exploitation into a dreamlike, nocturnal nightmare.

  • Two magnetic leads deliver unapologetic, boundary-pushing performances that fuel the film’s hypnotic blend of seduction and menace.
  • Practical effects and grimy cinematography ground the supernatural in a tactile, unsettling English countryside setting.
  • A queer vampiric duo flips traditional gender and sexuality norms, making it a minor cult touchstone for sex-positive horror.
  • For fans of midnight horror and Eurocult, it’s a slow-burn feast of atmosphere over plot, drenched in taboo and decadence.
