Shudder Day: The Vourdalak (2024)

I didn't get around to seeing Nosferatu yet.

In lieu of that, here's a freaky French Vampire Film.  Mon dieu!

Long ago, a man who's an Emissary for the King of France runs into trouble.

Off-camera, he's robbed and left alone in a foreign land.

A strange man tells him to go to a House down the road into the Forest.
He runs across a strange woman and follows her to her House.

He tries to woo her while the rest of the Family waits for the Patriarch of the Family to arrive.

Can he get into her pantaloons?
The Father arrives and...he's something.

I won't SPOIL what's up with him other than the fact that he's a form of Vampire.

To find out how the rest of his stay goes, stream the Film now.
A very strange Film- no question.

To be fair, it is a Period Piece Horror Film from France about a Vampire.
That's plenty of odd things together.

The best way I could describe this one is that it feels similar to a Jean Rollin Film.
That will probably tell you whether you're going to like it or not.

It is a tonally strange Film, alternating from Drama to Absurdist Comedy to Horror and then back again.

I won't SPOIL the effects used for the Vampire other than to tell you two things- it is freaky and I love it.

Will this one be for everyone?
Absolutely not.

Do I regret giving it a watch?
Absolument pas.

A strange, very French Film about another fringe kind of Vampire.  It's just not going to be for everyone- just like escargot.
