Udo Kier is without a doubt the sickliest of vampires in any director's interpretation of the Bram Stoker tale. Count Dracula knows that if he fails t...o drink a required amount of pure virgin's [pronounced "wirgin's"] blood, it's time to move into a permanent coffin. His assistant (Renfield?) suggests that the Count and he pick up his coffin and take a road trip to Italy, where families are known to be particularly religious, and therefore should be an excellent place to search for a virgin bride. They do, only to encounter a family with not one, but FOUR virgins, ready for marriage. The Count discovers one-by-one that the girls are not as pure as they say they are, meanwhile a handsome servant/Communist begins to observe strange behaviour from the girls who do spend the night with the Count. It's a race for Dracula to discover who's the real virgin, before he either dies from malnourishment or from the wooden stake of the Communist! Show More

Details

guises himself as a famous Italian film director and seduces the family, attempting to choose one of the virgins as his bride. However, things take a dark and twisted turn as the family begins to suspect that there is something strange about their new guest.

Andy Warhol's Dracula is a unique and provocative interpretation of the classic vampire tale. Directed by Warhol's frequent collaborator Paul Morrissey, the film infuses the familiar story with Warhol's signature art style and avant-garde sensibilities.

At the center of the film is Udo Kier's mesmerizing performance as Count Dracula. With his pale skin, haunting eyes, and sickly demeanor, Kier brings a sense of vulnerability and grotesqueness to the character that is both captivating and unsettling.

The film also explores themes of sexuality and religion, as the Count preys on his victims in the name of his insatiable thirst for virgin blood. The juxtaposition of the sacred and the profane creates a disturbing and thought-provoking atmosphere throughout the film.

Morrissey's stylish direction and Warhol's artistry are evident in every frame, with stunning cinematography and attention-grabbing visuals that push the boundaries of traditional vampire lore.

Andy Warhol's Dracula is a must-watch for fans of both horror and avant-garde cinema. Its daring and unconventional take on the vampire genre makes it a standout film in the genre.
