At its core, Lemora could be categorized as a vampire movie, but that doesn't begin to describe this dark, twisted fairytale.
Made in the 1970s, and set in the 1920s or 1930s - it is not explicitly stated - the movie never feels like it's set during a real time or place. The cold, eerie atmosphere is what makes this film work. The plot is weak, and the acting is mostly forgettable, aside from our leads: Cheryl Smith, and Lesley Gilb. Lesley is fantastic as the creepy titular character of Lemora, a gaunt, pale, mysterious woman living in a spooky, old house with her "children." Even though the movie is titled Lemora, it actually focuses on Cheryl's character, Lila.
The first act of the movie feels very disjointed, as if it's from the second act of a different film. Our story gets interesting when Lila arrives in the town of Astaroth, which is populated by warring groups of vampires - it's never properly explained, but that's how it reads; one side is comprised of traditional vampires, while the other are mutants that look more akin to werewolves.
There are some strange edits in the third act, and the ending is intentionally vague. However, this is a feature, and not a bug... Lemora feels as if you're watching a nightmare, and that's what is so appealing about it.
