Add to a movie listBlood and Roses (1960) — French title Et mourir de plaisir (Le sang et la rose); literally, And die of pleasure (The blood and the rose) — is a French vampire film directed by Roger Vadim. It is loosely based on the novella Carmilla (1872) by Irish writer Joseph Sheridan le Fanu; the story's locale was shifted from 19th century Styria to 20th century Italy.
Synopsis
Set in the modern day at a European estate, Carmilla is torn emotionally by the engagement of her friend Georgia to her cousin Leopoldo. It is hard to tell for whom she has the strongest unrequited emotions. During the masquerade ball celebrating the upcoming marriage, a fireworks display accidentally explodes some munitions lost at the site in WWII, disturbing an ancestral catacomb. Carmilla wearing the dress of her legendary vampire ancestor wanders into the ruins, where the tomb of the ancestor opens slowly. Carmilla returns to Leopoldo's estate as the last guests depart. Over next few days she proceeds to act as though possessed by the spirit of the vampire and a series of vampiric killings terrorize the estate.Actors

Se présentant comme une enquête, le film commence par la découverte d'une jeune femme assassinée. Petit à petit, on remonte dans le temps pour s'apercevoir que ce crime est somme toute la suite logique d'une philosophie de l'existence où ni le sexe ni la mort ne sont des tabous. Et où la vie est croquée à pleine dents !
