Rated The Shiver of the Vampires 4/10

Oof, tough one. Lots of nudity for the sake of nudity. I tend to find that problematic. Besides that, the score for this film is unreal. There's an entire hip hop album worth of samples in here. Sometimes it doesn't quite work with what's happening on screen, but when it does work IT FUCKING WORKS. Some legitimately frightening scenes for me; lengthy bloodletting into a chalice (idk why, just had me squeamish) and a scene with a dead bird that was DEFINITELY not a fake prop. All while either the trippy score plays or with nothing but the piercing foley getting louder and louder, causing my anxiety to soar. Excellent French bullshit horror movie. Could go without the nudity used frequently in European films of that era.
