Female Vampire
Female Vampire aka The Bare Breasted Countess is a 1974 FrenchBelgian film released in 1975 which was directed, written and coedited by Jess Franco. The film is set in Europe and stars actress Lina Romay as Irina von Karlstein, a vampire who has sex with both male and female victims. In an unusual variation of the vampire myth, Karlstein performs oral sex on her victims until they die, draining them of their sexual fluids.
The plot revolves around Countess Irina von Karlstein played by Lina Romay, a mute woman who needs sex like a vampire needs blood in order to stay alive forever. When new victims are found fatally drained of potency, forensic scientist Dr. Roberts consults his colleague, Dr. Orloff, who confirms that a vampire is responsible. Meanwhile, Irina is confronted by a poet who believes he is destined to become her lover and join her among the immortals.In director Jess Francos productions from 1972 and onward, his films became more inclined towards themes involving female sex and zoom in shots on female genitalia. After the death of Francos previous preferred lead actress Soledad Miranda, he cast 18yearold actress Lina Romay as the Countess Irina. Romay was more open about her sexuality than Miranda, which allowed Franco to focus on his more sexbased themes in his films. Franco originally made three different versions of the film. The first was a horrororiented sex film titled La Comtesse aux seis nus The Bare Breasted Countess, the second was a straight vampire film La comtesse noire The Black Countess, and the third was the hardcore pornography version Les avaleuses The Swallowers. These films ran at 82 minutes, 72 minutes, and 96 minutes respectively. There was also a separate German hardcore version released as Entfesselte Begierde Unbridled Lust. ........
