A beautiful newlywed couple are seduced by a vampiress and her companion during the off-season at the Dutch coast. Both parties hold deep dark secrets and as their connection intensifies so does the dread. It kind of reminds me of the underrated Paul Schrader film, Comfort of Strangers, where a couple see perfection and only seek to possess it or destroy it. It stays that course until the midpoint of the film. Then it turns into a whole other animal. The performance of star Delphine Seyrig is mesmerizing as she channels the enigmatic screen presence of legend Cathetine Deneuve. You also get strong performances from Canadian beauty Danielle Ouimet and creepy John Karlen (who looks like the son of Joe Pantliano and Klaus Kinski). It's a weird erotic multi-layered French horror film.
