In French with English subtitles. Also known as Blood and Roses.

Widescreen. Previously filmed in 1932 as Vampyr, Sheridan LeFanu's classic psychological horror tale was given a second go round in 1961 as Et Mourir de Plaisir. While Carl Theodor Dreyer concentrated on mood and suspense in Vampyr, Et Mourir de Plaisir director Roger Vadim goes directly to the jugular, so to speak, with generous doses of eerie eroticism. Annette Vadim plays Carmilla, who upon learning that she had a vampire ancestor becomes obsessed with finding out even more. Soon Carmilla has succumbed to the siren song of vampirism, and cannot quench her insatiable thirst for human blood.
