The sexagenarian star of Vampire Junction may not have quite the years Mae West did in Sextette - i.e., more than 60 - but she definitely has almost as much sex appeal - especially in that nude finale featuring the two younger, day-glo-wigged female vampires as well as our heroine in a menage à trois before the head bad guy - you can tell it's him because of the black hat and cape that, together, almost entirely obscure his face - moves in for the required jugular extraction.
A 2001 production shot on videotape in Italian (we're guessing, or possibly Spanish, since it was shot in Spain) but with English subtitles, this largely unfocused tale has the reporter heroine arriving in the town of Vampire Junction - kind of a give-away, don't'cha think? - and meeting the usual assortment of odd characters that's de rigueur for every vampire feature, plus a couple of ghosts besides the fang gang, and then ... absolutely nothing interesting happens for about 90 minutes. Savvy viewers will head straight for the DVD's short subject, an amateur tale about a zombie ambush that nonetheless is more watchable than this disc's main feature.
