My rating: 4/10

Will I watch it again? No.


Yawwwwwwwn! What's this? Tits? Say, where'd the boobs go? Yawwwwwwn! What's this? Blood? Say, where'd the gore go? Yawwwwwwwn! What's this? MORE tits? Niiiiiiice! Yawwwwwwwn! Hey, check it out...blood ON tits! Bravo! Zzzzzzzzzzz.


That's pretty much the film. You can tell by the plot there's nothing new here. There's a great deal of Argentinian nudity and some gore but there's very little in between that'll keep you awake.


The opening credits are outstanding! Just check out that artwork!



The ladies are outstanding! Just check out that artwork!


The best part about this Mondo Macabro DVD is the half hour documentary on Argentinian Exploitation and the 9 horror trailers. The disc is almost worth the purchase just for the extras. Very interesting and fun as hell. Sadly, BLOOD OF THE VIRGINS is not.
