Product Review

Belonging to an incestuous family of vampires has its disadvantages.



Picking up after the book by Robert Louis Stevenson ends, Olalla’s family receives another visitor. As the struggle between Felipe and the new guest escalates, Olalla, damaged by the abandonment of her first love, slides further into madness. When her psyche breaks and she bites the village priest, the villagers take their long-awaited revenge on the family, chaining Olalla to a cross, publicly whipping her, and burning her at the stake in front of her family.



Over 100 years later, her daughters, Olalla and Ofelia struggle to keep the family from attention and harm. But when Olalla, yearning for normalcy, runs away, elopes, and subsequently murders her husband, the entire family is put in jeopardy. Ofelia conspires against her sister by calling in their Uncle Felipe to reform Olalla, but his Victorian sensibilities drive him to think he can force her into submission.



Will it be enough to keep her from committing another act of murder?



"Thanks to its totally unconventional approach, Olalla is one of the most interesting vampire movies of late - (...) with its gory, its violent, its sexy and its fetishistic bits, all set in rather beautifully decorated sets betraying crumbling decadence, carried by a first rate ensemble cast.
