Cindy L For a 1965 vampire film it's not bad. Don't expect anything like Interview with a Vampire or other films made recently. The story is not bad, the drama & acting of the period in which it was filmed An enjoyable period scary film to watch around Halloween in the fall. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/15/22 Full Review Audience Member A B-movie horror directed by British TV director Lance Comfort, from a screenplay by Lyn Fairhurst, this is a fairly unmemorable horror film that comes across as a poor man's version of The Devil Rides Out, it had potential to be better, but it's quite boring as well. Years previously in Brittany, the evil Count Sinistre (Hubert Noël) was buried alive only for him to curse a young gypsy girl Tania (Carole Gray) and he makes her his bride. Years later, and every year, the village where Sinistre lived pays a traditional homage where they protect their dead in the graveyard from evil spirits. American Paul Baxter (William Sylvester) and his girlfriend Karen (Tracy Reed) are staying in a hotel and two others staying in the hotel disappear, and Karen vanishes as well. Shortly after that, Paul is met by the Count, posing under the alias of Armond du Moliere. Unable to find Karen, Paul returns to England, and an acquaintance of Karen's at the hotel, Madeleine Braun (Diana Decker) falls victim to the powers of Count Sinistre, and William has to put a stop to his plan, which involves a community under the graveyard. It wouldn't have been so bad if they'd added a bit of humour and cheese to the proceedings, but it's a very dull film played straight, and that's the killer, plus there's no big star in it, which might have livened up proceedings. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Vampire detective mystery that does little to engage the audience. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Weird movie that I haven't head of before; it looks pretty good. On the OIN cable network last night. I have to see it again, without interruption. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Hyffsad sleeper att halvsova till. Inte samma kvalità (C) som en Hammer film men det finns dansande zigenare, välklädda vampyrer med fransk brytning, gamla kyrkogårdar och en halvtaskig satansmässa att döva sinnet till. Gäsp. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Pedestrian simulation of a Hammer film: very colorful, a rich Eastman colour look, and it has vampires but lacking any of the spark that makes so many Hammer films so wonderful.
