Film Frenzy

A fascinating remake of Fritz Lang's M, only with much of the focus placed elsewhere.

Rated: 3.5/4

Boulder Weekly

Much like Truman Capote’s seminal "In Cold Blood," 1953’s "El Vampiro Negro" from Argentinian filmmaker Román Viñoly Barreto is a masterwork that tests the limits of what you might consider “entertainment.”

Rated: 4.5/5

This film differs from the original because it focuses on the mothers whose young girls are terrorized by the pedophile killer.

Rated: A

Less Hat, Moorhead

The acting is powerful... and the suspenseful flourishes toward the end work superbly.

A lost gem. A 1953 thriller that deals with the murder and abuse of children in the streets of Buenos Aires long before we could have dealt with it here. A perfect monster/villain who, as we all have grown to know, can be an unassuming, psychotic, contributing, upstanding member of society, played by Nathan Pinzon The Argentinian cast is perfect, particularly Olga Zubarry as the mother of the missing child, working in the seedy underbelly of the city. A must see for fans of noir.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Good evening! I found the movie the Black Vampire to be quite refreshing. I could not get away from the way the main character had a distinct resemblance to a certain extent resembling the actor in the archived classic original nostradomaas. Even the way he moved had a distinct resemblance to the original actors movements. He had to have studied his films. Thumbs up, to the beginning of a great evening for I and my Valentine's.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
