Vampire Nymphets – review

Director: David Stojan

Release date: 2021

Contains spoilers

A Mexican film, with no real dialogue (though there are recordings in English of what sounds like alleged Satanic cult survivors) this is a tough one to review due to its highly experimental nature and even tougher to do a blow-by-blow as there is little projected narrative. Essentially my summary of the plot would go a little like, a girl (Valeria Hernandez) is in the city, reading about occult matters. She goes to a cemetery, where another girl (Angela Garza) and man (David Stojan) drug and kidnap her. The kidnappers happen to be vampires, who then torture her until she is under the illusion that she is a vampire too…

Valeria Hernandez as the girl

Better, in this case, to reproduce the DVD blurb: “In a city ruled by the underworld, a religious fanatic teenager is worried about the recent rumours of demonic gangs and cults. She takes a trip to the cemetery to take flowers in remorse for the car accident her friend recently had, unaware the cemetery is territory of a female gang faction known as the Vampire Nymphets whose adored leader is a male vampire.

kidnap

“With their supernatural powers they lead her into falling for their spells and she ends up being kidnapped by them and taken to their safe house which is hours away from the city in a cursed land habited by witches, demons and werewolves where the gang operates an underground brothel.

Angela Garza as the vampire girl

“The young girl has trouble fitting in with the other vampires of the gang because of her religious past, she is then given potent hallucinogens and is in a constant state of confusion and begins to remember she was kidnapped and abused.

“Her nightmare begins when she wakes up the next morning and her transformation wears off into a dark abyss of hallucinations, satanic sacrifice and the evil spirits of the forest.”

cheap plastic fangs

The film runs for 60 minutes and is an assault of imagery, often disturbing or vampiric, with effects over scenes and an industrial soundtrack that adds a layer to the film. The difference between the two vampires and the girl is highlighted within the fact that they have fangs (and decent build prosthetics) and she wears Halloween style plastic fangs when she thinks she is a vampire.

David Stojan as the vampire man

The lack of narrative and experimental edge makes this reminiscent of the more experimental work of Chris Alexander though this is darker and more disturbing, which also brought Visions of Suffering to mind. I scored that film as “?” and I am in the same quandary here. There is a vision, that much is clear, and the blurb actually resonates with the film, though the film does not exactly provide the content of the blurb itself as you watch. If you like your films highly experimental, and dark, then this will work for you. If that turns you off, or you demand a clear narrative then turn away.
