There is very little eroticism and no horror at all in this alleged erotic horror movie. Well-known Euro-trasher Jesús Franco relies more on a stronger plot and characters this time rather than on gratuitous titillating scenes. The question is what qualifies as a stronger plot by his standards and whether any of his films can be attractive without those scenes. If so, it’s certainly not Vampyros Lesbos. That said, the two actresses in the lead roles are luscious.

With Vampyros Lesbos, Jesús Franco simply showed that he has made a lot of movies, and enjoyed filming women's breasts, but didn't really give it any genuinely interesting form. It turned out to be a film that has a little bit of nudity, but worst of all, there is nothing horror-like to call it a horror. In this example, Jesús Franco certainly didn't demonstrate any great abilities, and it's hard to even talk about its cult status.
