Dallas H Aug 29 So, the "mad scientist" works on refining the process of blood transfusion? See more 08/06/2015 Situational horror with plenty of cult value, and wouldn't look out of place as part of the Hammer series of films, of which it isn't one. There's a plausibility about the science and institution depicted, but neatly exaggerated for effect. See more 08/04/2015 Good title which is the part of the problem as there is no vampire. A mad Dr is able to bring dead people back to life using a new experiment. See more 01/08/2015 Wouldn't call it horror but a classic thriller nonetheless See more 10/23/2012 The one gem out of a thousand bad mad-scientist offerings--Terrific Gothic thriller in grand Hammer style!!
