3.5/5
Although its moments of violence are few and far between, Larraz has created a much more aggressive and outlandishly gruesome vampire film than most of his contemporaries from the period. Go to Full Review

Werner K @wernerrrrr12 Dec 3 Great movie. Fun and creepy! I like it alot! Very cool and dark! See more Lily R May 19 Great Japanese movie! When of the all time bests! Alot of atmosphere and suspense! See more Laura S Mar 17 I loved this! Pretty good and crazy! See more Wayne K Mar 12 The list of films you should never watch with your parents is very long, and Vampyres definitely has a place on it. Released in the mid 70s, it’s a film with much more graphical sexual and violent content than you would imagine, and it would of course be pilloried at the time for this fact. With the easy availability of adult content in the modern world, repeated sex scenes in a film can become dull, monotonous and even unnecessary, but the film is smart enough to keep them relatively short. It’s a film that you could look at as ahead of its time in regards to sexual politics, as the females are the ones in charge, and the men are largely relegated to the role of playthings, easily seduced and manipulated. It has an old school horror vibe, with a grand estate house, creepy forests and dark, dank basements. Elements of it, such as the dialogue and some of the acting, feels very soap opera-ish, and parts of it are just confusing. Why do John and Harriet decide to camp outside an estate house rather than at a campsite for example, and why doesn’t Ted escape the house when he has a chance? The film drags at times, and often skirts the line between creating a haunting atmosphere and just being slow for the sake of it. I can’t say I loved it, or would recommend it to friends, but it’s always fascinating to take a look at a film that you would never normally watch, and see how it reflects the world in which it was made.
