Movie Reviews of Countess Dracula / The Vampire Lovers
Movie Review: Hammer at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like hammer horror you will love this twin offering of Countess Dracula / The Vampire Lovers. This is not the blood and gore of modern day horror films but rather a decent plot, good atmosphere and quite good looking female vampires. It is what Hammer does best.
Summary of Countess Dracula / The Vampire Lovers
COUNTESS DRACULA VAMPIRE LOVERSPolish-born actress Ingrid Pitt's erotically supercharged presence is the highlight of this double bill of vampire chills from Hammer Films. In Countess Dracula, Pitt stars as an aging noblewoman (inspired by the real-life Erzebeth Bathory) who discovers the secret to eternal youth in the veins of young virgins, while in The Vampire Lovers (based on J. Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla"), Pitt's sensuous bloodsucker seduces Hammer starlets Madeleine Smith and Kate O'Mara and incurs the vengeful wrath of Peter Cushing. Countess is the more sober of the two films, with Jeremy Paul's script and Peter Sadsy's direction playing out more like an Old Dark House mystery than Hammer horror, while Lovers' aims for comic-book thrills with plenty of nudity and violence (much of which was trimmed from the American version, but reinstated here); in both cases, Pitt's sexy/scary performances make this DVD a memorably viewing experience for vintage and new-school horror fans alike. --Paul Gaita
