dracula's daughter (1972)

aka Daughter of Dracula. La Fille de Dracula.
Luisa Karlstein (Britt Nichols) visits her dying grandmother and is told of the family curse, that they are descended from Dracula. Will she succumb and become a vampire? Meanwhile women are being found murdered, something of obvious interest to a local policeman and a journalist. Could there be a link?
Beautifully photographed in a languid style that is almost soporific, especially when added to the fact that there is precious little horror or suspense. It being little more than an excuse to show women indulging in some sapphic love, but if that's your thing then give it a look. Otherwise not essential.
