It seems pretty unanimous over on IMDb that this is one of the WORST movies ever made. I've never heard of it but I won't be seeking it out.

English Title:  Daughters of Darkness

==Comment==
This is a lesbian vampire cult classic.  I saw it when it first came out because it stars Danielle Ouimet (who here reminds me too much of that b!tch Anne Coulter, unfortunately).  She was a Québec beauty queen and popular "actress" at the time. Also, the inimitable Delphine Seyrig plays Countess Bathory.  It's quite something!

"N" is Never Bug an Ant (1969)

From IMDb: The Ex-Warner-Brothers team left to form DePatie-Freleng and did a bunch of poor work. 'The Ant and the Aardvark' series was one of theirs. It was like the Roadrunner series, but from hunger.  In this one, Aardvark tries to catch the ant uses sugar cubes and fishing gear. The animation is poor, the backgrounding is ugly and the characters are one-note. -- all the writing talent that made Looney Tunes a success was missing.  About the only thing that is consistently interesting about the DePatie-Frelengs is the music. This one sports a small Dixieland-style score. That won't make it worth your while.




That anvil look familiar?
