Director Jess Franco takes real-life band THE KILLER BARBIES, changes the spelling of their name slightly so he doesn't get sued by Mattel, and then throws them into a horror movie that has about the same plot and intensity as a typical episode of SCOOBY-DOO. The main evil monster here is an over 100-years old Countess(played by Mariangela Giordano, who is best known to me as the lady who gets her tit bitten off by her weirdo zombie son in the classic zombie flick BURIAL GROUND) who stays young thanks to her drinking the blood of young people. There's also a seemingly retarded henchman and a couple of midgets thrown in for extra fun. Not the best thing in the world but lead singer Silvia Superstar is nice to ogle and this is one of the last amusing films made by Franco before the 2000's hit and he veered into straight-to-video hell. AKA VAMPIRE KILLER BARBYS
There is a terrible sequel to this that's barely worth mentioning.
