One of the tenets of remaking horror movies should always be to take a flawed property with a great central idea and beef it up. I can't think of a better candidate than the 1974 British lesbian vampire flick VAMPYRES, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry on grass as it grows.
Director Victor Matellano seems to agree with me, and his sexy, updated remake of the film is about to strike. You can catch his updated naughtiness on VOD and DVD on October 18th, just in time for a wet and wild Halloween. Check out the NSFW trailer below!

Faithful to the sexy, twisted 1974 cult classic by Joseph Larraz, VAMPYRES is an English-language remake pulsating with raw eroticism, wicked sado-masochism and bloody, creative gore. Victor Matellano (WAX) directs this tale set in a stately English manor inhabited by two older female vampires and with their only cohabitant being a man imprisoned in the basement. Their lives and lifestyle are upended when a trio of campers come upon their lair and seek to uncover their dark secrets, a decision that has sexual and blood-curdling consequences.
Infused with eloquent and atmospheric cinematography, impressive special effects makeup from master Colin Arthur (THE NEVERENDING STORY, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY) and starring screen genre icon Caroline Munro (MANIAC, SLAUGHTER HIGH), VAMPYRES remains faithful to the original while creating its own neck-biting, sexually violent tale.
VAMPYRES was written by Matellano from a story by original director José Ramón Larraz, and produced by Ángel Mora. It also stars Christian Stamm, Verónica P. Bacorn, Anthony Rotsa, and Luis Hacha, with Marta Flich and Almudena León as the two female vampires.
