Les deux orphelines vampires (The Two Orphan Vampires) is a 1997 French horror film directed by Jean Rollin. The film is an adaptation of Rollin's novel of the same name. While Rollin is primarily known for his vampire-themed works, Les deux orphelines vampires is Rollin's first vampire film since his 1979 Fascination.
Plot
Louise and Henriette are a pair of orphaned sisters, innocent & sightless by day but after sunset, they are deadly Vampires, with an acute vision. Two beautiful girls embarks on a darkly romantic journey through the cities of Paris and New York to seduce victims to quench their thirst for fresh blood and satisfy their perverse carnal desires.
Their only refuge are the cemeteries where they find solitude and piece together the fragmented memories of their past lives.

Reception
The film has received mixed reviews. Online reviewer DVD Resurrections has said the film is "fairly good if one is in the right mood", and gave the film 6.5/10.[3] Online reviewer Digital Vampiric Discs has said "you'll probably find it boring if you're not used to Rollin's style, and even if you are you'll probably have to be in the mood for this one". Götterdämmerung has said that it is "an interesting little film that is a bit plodding in places and that requires some patience to decide", and that "nevertheless a rewarding viewing experience".[4]
