This blew me out of my seat. It's almost x-rated as many Jess Franco films are. Lot's of skin and sex but it's all held together by a minimalist story that is somehow very interesting and makes it all worth it. Maybe it's a changing of the times with Jess Franco and his production company One Shot because long time star Lina Romay has been moved to a supporting, non-sexual, role and the stars are Carmen Montes as the Snakewoman and Fata Morgana as Carla, a roving reporter who winds up with the story of her life and an experience of a lifetime ~ she finds an old time actress who is not only still young and beautiful but also some kind of a vampire or succubus. What I really enjoyed was the comfortableness of the sexuality and the way the appealing actresses carried themselves. I don't care much for subtitles so I would have preferred an English language print. The DVD is only in Spanish with subtitles. But it's easy to follow and very easy to enjoy. The only thing that I couldn't understand is that there is no snake anywhere except on a tattoo.
