( Le sadique aux dents rouge / Jean-Louis van Belle / 1971 )
Dreadfully dreary, the premise is quite promising (mental patient thinks he's becoming a vampire, psychiatrists release him and arrange a series of events to push this belief to the limit) but the film is just a sleepwalk. It portrays his descent into madness through pathetic 'surreal' effects (negative images, superimposed insects, etc), and 'symbolic' stock footage; the film is just a tired catalog of horror tropes, stitched together in the loosest possible manner.
