Review

 

Clever comedy-horror film directed by Roman Polanski. An expert on bats, Professor Abronsius and his dim-witted assistant, Alfred, travel to Transylvania to try to find and destroy vampires. Alfred falls for the vampire's latest target - the inn-keeper's daughter.

Also known as 'Dance Of The Vampires' and 'Pardon Me, But Your Teeth Are In My Neck.'

I read the former reviews of this film and was expecting a Hammer style horror film with some comedy thrown in. I was mistaken. I actually fell asleep for the last ten minutes (the climax was that gripping).

The film boasts a slow, awkward and stilted storyline. The attempts at humour are plain to see and fall painfully by the wayside. I think I chuckled twice more out of pity than any real amusement.

The only virtue of this film is the stunning Sharon Tate (the late Sharon Tate who was brutally murdered in 1969 whilst pregnant by followers of Charles Manson), her appearance in any scene always brings it to life, but alas she was in too few scenes and was under-utilised. I believe she married the director of this film shortly after release.

I don't normally write reviews for films I don't like, but in this case I wanted to save you from the drudgery and dreariness that is this abortion of a 'comedy'. My first ever 1 star rating I do believe!

Do you remember/enjoy those old hammer vampire movies? Several yrs before Mel Brooks made is homage to the early monster movies Roman Polanski did a comedy take on those plentiful vampire flicks of the 60's.
This is a class act with great sets, actors with their comedy timing bang on, a very clever/funny script and most importantly bags of atmosphere. Alphie Bass is the jewish vampire (a crucifix dosen't work) and RP can't seem to shake off the gay vampires affections. The Van Helsing character is eccentric and a bit potty which suits this movie down to the ground.
Great to see this title on DVD.
