4.0 out of 5 stars Vere are da wergins?, June 11, 2009

This review is from: Dracula (1974) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Written/directed by Paul Morrissey and set primarily in a villa in Italy, ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA has some inspired casting. On the other hand, skin flick specialist Joe D. may look handsome here, but that New Yawk accent is laughable! Joe plays a Socialist peasant who awaits the Russian Revolution's arrival in Italy. Only then will noble families like the one he works for get their comeuppance. But his ain't da main staw-ree.

This movie is known by a half dozen names. The original title, "Dracula cerca sangue di vergine... e morì di sete" translates as: "Dracula tries virgin blood... and dies of silks."

SYNOPSIS--
Romanian Count Dracula (Kier) is ill from locally tainted blood. He travels to Italy with assistant Anton (Jeurging) in search of the "wirginal" variety- the only blood Drac can digest without getting violently sick. They bring with them the Count's casket "bed" and a supply of vegetables that soon runs out.

Eager for familial alliance with a rich foreigner, the cash-strapped Il Marchese Di Fiore (Di Sica) who has four daughters, assures Anton they are all good virginal Catholics. The old man doesn't know that his eldest two are a couple of putanas who bang studly servant Mario Balato (Dallesandro) and each other like crazy!

The Count visits with these alleged "maidens" one at a time; they innocently tell him they're pure. He responds with world-class hickeys. End result: scenes of ever-worsening sanguinal reflux. A desperately unwell Count is running short on Di Fiore girls and worse, Mario's figured out exactly what he is.

"Andy Warhol's Dracula" is available on DVD.

This originally 'X' rated work is companion to Warhol's far grosser FRANKENSTEIN (1973). (VHS) (DVD)

Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 viewer poll rating found at a film resource website.

(5.9) Andy Warhol's Dracula (Italy/France-1974) - Joe Dallesandro/Udo Kier/Vittorio De Sica/Maxime McKendry/Arno Juerging/Milena Vukotic/Dominique Darel/Stefania Casini/Silvia Dionisio (cameo: Roman Polanski)

3.0 out of 5 stars Trash Classic, January 7, 2001

By 

Laura Winton (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dracula (1974) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie is so trashy that it's really fun. Everyone in the movie has a completely different accent and listening to Warhol's pasty lisping Dracula on the search for "Wurgins" is priceless. This is a camp classic and a must-see to round out any Dracula afficiaonado's collection. Get your hands on this if you can. It's not a great movie. But it IS great fun.

It is maybe a tale of a tub. But it's funny and plaintive. Udo Kier is great!
