Movie Reviews of Blood of the Vampire/The Hellfire Club
Movie Review: Blood of the Vampire
Summary: 5 Stars
This is indeed a rare find. I saw this on the late show when I was a kid in the early 70s and I have never seen it since. I don't think that it has been on TV in decades. It's 19 century setting and unusual plot made it unforgetable. Being made in color is a real plus. It scared me so much back then, that I bought it now more for nostalgia reasons than anything else. It has definately not lost any of its charm. I'm not a horror movie buff per se but I'll watch a Classic on TV if I happen to be up late. The new horror movies are mostly gore with no story line. This old one definately has a story. I just had to see it again! Well worth the price! A MUST for classic horror buffs(Hammer fans; although it's not a Hammer film)
Summary of Blood of the Vampire/The Hellfire Club
Blood of the Vampire: When Dr. John Pierre (Vincent Ball) is falsely accused of practising medical heresy, he is sent to a remote castle prison run by Dr. Callistratus (Donald Wolfit), a maniacal scientist who specializes in strange diseases of the blood. Aided by violent prison guards and a creepy hunchback, Dr. Callistratus proves to be much more than he seems. A moody Gothic horror film in the grand Hammer tradition, penned by famed terror scribe, Jimmy Sangster (Curse of Frankenstein, Horror of Dracula). The Hellfire Club: A rollicking swashbuckler set in the 1700s, The Hellfire Club stars Keith Michell as Jason, an adventurous young man who returns to the ancestral estate after a lengthy absence to claim his lordship, only to discover that his cousin Thomas (Peter Arne) has taken over and turned it into a lusty den of sin and inequity governed by an infamous secret society called the Hellfire Club. Directed by the legendary filmmaking team of Robert S. Baker and Monty Berman and written by Jimmy Sangster.Action & Adventure DVD Video
