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!
Seeing a bad review of this that I've loved since the early 1980s irritated me so much I had to post
I discovered this film in the early 1980s while it was rental in the name of DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES the uk release title and fell in love with its haunting music and visual style.
to me it always is and always will be a genius movie
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.
