Countess
Elizabeth is an embittered widow who discovers by accident
that the blood of young women can make her appear youthful
again. Enlisting the help of her devoted servant she kidnaps
a number of women in order to keep her looking young. She
falls in love with a young officer and must keep killing in
order to ensure her youthful appearance...
Based
very loosely on the true story of Countess Elizabeth Bathory,
a 16th century noble woman who had a fondness for bathing
in the blood of virgins, Countess Dracula is not a
bad movie, but the plot is so badly stretched over the duration
of the film that if you are still awake by the end then count
yourself lucky.
Harry
Robinson's soundtrack is probably the best thing about this
movie - and it is a very emotive piece of work. Shame the
trailer tells the same story in under three minutes.
A
pair of beautiful female orphaned twins leave Vienna to stay
with their aunt and Uncle in the small village of Karnstein.
Their uncle is a fanatical Puritan who has been leading a
witch hunt to try and find the demon who has been draining
the blood of innocent victims...
Twins
of Evil stars
Peter Cushing as the girls' uncle who burns first and asks
questions later. This is pure sexploitation from beginning
to end. From the minute we are introduced to the twins we
know it is only a matter of time before they undress and prance
around. And what is with the sexual fondling of a candle shot
during the sex scene?
Cushing
is superb as usual, and everyone else fumbles through.
A
circus arrives at a Serbian village where it performs a spectacular
show for the inhabitants. But there is more to this show than
meets the eye and one be one the village's children begin
to disappear. Do the circus performers know more than they
are letting on?...
Vampire
Circus
comes with the tag line "The Greatest Blood-Show on Earth!"
which made me chuckle. This is a below par outing which features
Dave Prowse (who later went on to play Darth Vader)
as the circus strongman.
There
is a fully naked dance scene (a woman who has been body painted
from head to toe to resemble a cat!) and I suggest you close
your eyes when she spreads her legs!
The
fact that you couldn't give a toss about the villagers and
you want them to die says a lot about this movie.
Collecting
these three movies together under a "vampire collection"
themed release was a mistake. Watching all three movies back
to back you suddenly realise how little plot vampire movies
have and the need to bare some flesh at every moment just
goes to show how desperate the movie producers were to attract
punters. Save you money for one of the better Hammer box sets
which have been released.
