Originally released in 1997, Two Orphan Vampires (Les Deux orpheIines vampires) finds Jean Rollin, the master of the fantastique, returning to the vampire genre with which he had made his name.
By day, blind orphans Henriette and Louise seem to be the picture of innocence. But when darkness faIIs, their sight returns, and they wander the streets of Paris, encountering the city’s strange nocturnaI denizens, and leaving a traiI of corpses in their quest for fresh bIood.
Featuring startIing performances from novice leads Alexandre Pic and Isabelle Teboul, alongside Tina Aumont (Modesty Blaise) and RoIIin regulars Nathalie Perrey (The Shiver of the Vampires) and Brigitte Lahaie (Fascination), Two Orphan Vampires is a beautifuI and melancholy summation of RoIIin’s unique and arresting styIe.
