Vampiress Review: "Thirst (1979)"

The Gist: A woman of high society is kidnapped by a brood of blood drinking upper class people who have determined she is the next to join their society due to her lineage relation to Elizabeth Bathory.

Female Vampire Factor: The story revolves around a wealthy aris named Kate Davis (Chantal Contouri).

As mentioned she gets kidnapped and taken to a resort where people are being farmed for their blood so that the rich and high society people running it get to drink it.  It's even delivered to their homes disguised as milk.

The goal is for the society to use brain washing methods to train Kate to accept them and most importantly thirst for blood.  The results in a good portion of the film being really trippy as Kate has horrific visions of pretty much everything becoming bloody.

Eventually they believe that the brainwashing has worked.  She's given her fangs and allowed back into the real world. Unfortunately for the society while she does give into the urge to feed she always immediately regrets it which means they're belief may have been wrong.

One of the members of the society Dr. Frazer decides to go against the group and free both Kate and her boyfriend Derek (who was also been kidnapped).  This ends up being a ruse as the turning was a part of the conditioning programming and the last you see is her giving in to being one of them while being bitten by Dr. Frazer.  As this happens you overhear a conversation where the Dr. is congratulated for successfully converting her.

Final Opinion: This was a GREAT movie.  The entire film revolved around does the beautiful protagonist get turned?  On top of that it's not about supernatural vampires but there was fangs and it was still somewhat supernatural.  I give it a Vampire Beauty Rating of 4 out of 5.  Had she just become a vampire and turned on her friends and family (which was almost hinted at during the false ending prior to her snapping out of the indoctrination) it probably would have been given a full 5.

Vampiress Music Video: Solace in Exiles "The Gift"

"The Gift" 

Solace in Exile 

Produced in 2015

Solace of Exile is a rock band based out of Sydney, Australia and have been together since 1999. They have an official website which can be viewed HERE but there isn't too much information on it. 

The bulk of this 5 plus minute music video is the band playing in what looks like a garage.  Scattered in between is scenes of people walking at  night being stalked by mysterious people waiting in the shadows.   The last minute of the music video reveals those people to be vampires who then attack those they were stalking.  This includes three beautiful female vampires in red dresses (two of which played by Lauren Poole, Hannah Moy) attacking the band.
