Trama e commenti: davinotti.com: «Pittrice surrealista americana, di stanza in Messico, cela con attenzione la sua vera natura: quella di vampira che prima droga e poi sgòzza le vittime per succhiar loro il sangue. La polizia indaga, ma un altro assassino si mette sulla scena, mettendo in pratica lo stesso modus operandi. Già collaboratore di Jodorowsky, Juan López Moctezuma è uno dei rari talenti visionari della cinematografia messicana con in curriculum un nun-exploitation memorabile, di qualche anno successivo (Alucarda). Il mito del vampiro è rivisto in maniera iconoclasta e il film è pervaso da un ineludibile pessimismo».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - allmovie.com - movies.nytimes.com - rottentomatoes.com - entertainment.msn.com - tvguide.com - wam.umd.edu - terpconnect.umd.edu - vampyres-online.com: «A dark and stormy night begins this modern Gothic tale of evil personified in Mary (Christina Ferrare), a beautiful, bisexual, American artist living in Mexico to more easily gratify her growing lust for blood. While her horrific appetites are fueled, her life becomes further fraught with the investigation into the grisly murders, love for a handsome young American ex-patriot (David Young), and the sudden, terrifying appearance of her like-minded father (John Carradine), intent upon satisfying his own heinous hungers as well as killing Mary before she, too, becomes totally consumed by his legacy of compulsion. As Mary continues to cut a bloody swath across the country, investigators and her pursuing parent close in - the suspense and nightmarish drama gather to a final chilling confrontation. This movie is a crime thriller about - what else? - a blood-addicted woman (not a real vampire with fangs, just an average human girl) and the therefore resulting turmoil's. The film has several lengths, and, though the story ain't so bad, certain illogicalities. Especially the fighting sequences bear a really cheesy, campy touch! I've seen better executed examples of this kind».
