Plot
Louise and Henriette are a pair of orphaned sisters, innocent and sightless. After sunset, though, they begin to see again and become vampires, too. The girls embark on a journey through the city of Paris to find victims and quench their thirst, otherwise they would die. Their only refuges are the cemeteries, where they find solitude and piece together the fragmented memories of their past lives.
Cast
Production
The film was shot on location in Paris and New York. The same locations were used in Rollin's 1989 film Perdues dans New York (Lost in New York).
Reception
The film has received mixed reviews. Online reviewer DVD Resurrections has said that the film is "fairly good if one is in the right mood", and gave the film 6.5 out of 10. Online reviewer Digital Vampiric Discs has said, "You'll probably find it boring if you're not used to Rollin's style, and even if you are you'll probably have to be in the mood for this one". Götterdämmerung said that it is "an interesting little film that is a bit plodding in places and that requires some patience to decide", and that "nevertheless a rewarding viewing experience".
