beware: this is a short version - By: M. Springer, 01 Jul 2008 
I'm wondering why no one has mentioned so far that this DVD is nowhere near 85 minutes long: actuallly this version is under 80 minutes. It does not include the famous Zombie - scenes that French filmmaker Jean Rollin has added afterwards. They are not even as a bonus included. So unfortunately AMAZON is wrong with the runtime! German discs run longer than 80 minutes & include the Rollin Zombie scenes but they might not have English subtitles & are either in French or German language. The US-version is supposed to have 10 minutes of alternate footage as a bonus - whatever it is.
It has already been mentioned that this one is only for hardcore Franco fans; if you like a slow movie with the typical south American flair made by Jess Franco you can enjoy this one even in its shorter version.
jess makes a mockery of the living dead with this trash. - By: Great White, 09 Nov 2007 
Oh my god i cannot believe how bad this one was. I saw the cover to this film & thought hmmm interesting as it had dead zombies on the cover. Now silly me thought that this was another one of those blind dead ripoffs, boy was it wrong. 10 minutes into the film I was yawning. The plot had pretty much nothing to do with the undead & the ending was just so stupid, i wondered why i was watching it in the first place. Out of his other films Cannibals & female vampire to name a few, this has to be the worst one he has ever created.
Avoid it as you will only end up fast forwarding it. There's nothing worth getting this film for except a few naked scenes of the so-callled "Virgin" & thats it. total waste of time.
Good Film, Mediocre DVD - By: Johnny Guitar, 04 Sep 2006 
A young girl visits her recently deceased father's castle on an island to hear the reading of the will. The castle is inhabited by a vampire-like coterie of eccentrics. The girl experiences various "erotic horror" episodes, from each of which she wakes, they are just dreams - or are they? Basicallly this is Franco's umpteenth variation of the "Eugenie Journey into Perversion" film with the plot reduced to almost nothing.
The DVD transfer here is mediocre as are the source reels used. In fact the film appears to be a composite of footage from different versions (perhaps with the laudable aim of getting as complete a version as possible). This inferior (though watchable) DVD quality is a shame because the film comes from Franco's best period, with a cast featuring most of the Franco favourites, plus a Bruno Nicolai score. Best of alll, the entire film consists of the loose funny surreal scenes Franco fans guiltily adore. Parts of the film, especiallly towards the end, reallly are quite poetic & - shock! - quite technicallly accomplished. As a film I'd say Virgin has a similar warped appeal to Succubus, both Eugenies, Vampyre Lesbos or Ecstasy, so if you are a fan of Jess Franco's vintage stuff then it's worth getting, but could someone find & restore an original print?
awful - By: B. Perchard, 03 Feb 2006 Rented this film a couple of years ago with a few mates as we thought it sounded like a funny horror film.
What we actuallly got was about 5 minutes of footage repeated over & over with virtuallly no dialogue, no plot, no anything, except the same 5 minutes of footage on repeat. its not so much a film as a huge pile of rubbish. to this day it remains the only film i or my friends have ever turned off before the end. trash. anyone who thinks this is talent or fun to watch is delusional
macabre surrealistic - By: regul8, 02 Apr 2004 its a typical franco flick, it aint bad in its own way,but it aint that great eather. so its only for the franco lovers.
its one of his better movies though
