Blue Underground strikes gold once again with this fantastic edition of yet another genre classic -- José Larraz's 1974 erotic gothic gem Vampyres. Released in 2000 by William Lustig's old chums Anchor Bay, here Lustig and his Blue Underground folk up the ante and give you all those features and more! Back once again is the genius commentary with producer Brian Smedley-Aston and director Larraz, who's foul-mouthed fractured English is a joy to behold as he impassionately compares himself to Charles Bukowski, gushes over his leads' naked bodies, and trashes French Cinema continually through the 88-minute running time. Also included are both the international and U.S. trailer (the latter being the more explicit...go figure!) in addition to some great shots in the stills gallery. Those features alone would make a fine release (they did with Anchor Bay's version), but it's the new stuff that puts this beyond regular cult discs...First off, there's "Return of the Vampyres -- Interviews with Stars Marianne Morris and Anulka," a fantastic retrospective with the two leading sexy sirens who charmingly reminisce about everything from their inexperience to their frightened and funny stories about director Larraz. Some great shots are also included of the long-lost "Caravan Scene," an alternate ending that had to be scrapped due to budgetary reasons. As with their other releases, the menu designs are fantastic and add to the true testament that is Blue Underground's eye for quality. Add in a gorgeous Anulka Glamour Gallery, some amazing vintage posters and a director's bio (featuring some choice quotes from the crazy man himself), and you've got one of the best releases this film will probably ever see. In addition to all of the above, you DVD-ROM folk out there get the completely different documentary "VAMPYRES: A Tribute to the Ultimate in Erotic Horror Cinema" to sink your teeth into as well (sorry, the rest of you are out of luck).
