Genuine - 1920 - 5/10
AKA - The Tales Of A Vampire
Think vamp, not throat leech. Not blood, its the wick that gets drained.
Genuine, priestess of an exotic religion, is captured by a rival tribe and turned savage.
Later, she is sold by slavers to a rich eccentric who keeps her caged in his lavish basement.
Mind you, menfolk are drawn to her, and she soon turns them into drooling love slaves.
Atmospheric sets outweighed by dell arte acting and plodding direction.
The tale crawls. One could add a gallon of lubricant and the story would still creak.
Print I watched was in excellent condition, guitar score by Larry Marotta grows tedious by the end.
