Lubie Nietoperze (aka I Like Bats) (1986)

An attractive vampire (Katarzyna Walter, who looks and sounds eerily like Jean Seberg) is content to work in her aunt's (Malgorzata Lorentowicz) curio shop while not feeding on various sleazebags. But when she falls for a handsome psychiatrist (Marek Barbasiewicz), she discovers that no affliction is more horrific than love. Co-written and directed by Grzegorz Warchol, an actor turned director, perhaps best known for Kieslowski's THREE COLORS: WHITE. This little known Polish blend of black comedy and gothic horror is amusing. I don't think Warchol is much interested in the horror aspects of the movie as much as a quasi feminist take on how love can rob us of our individuality, of what we're meant to be. Anyway you look at it, this is a batshit (pun intended) crazy vampire movie, more akin to LOVE AT FIRST BITE than COUNTESS DRACULA. With Jonasz Kofta and Jan Prochyra.
