The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

From the first frames, with a slowed-down horse-drawn carriage almost floating through the fog-shrouded trail, the soundtrack containing an eerie wind punctuated by a slow churchbell and wolf howling, you know you are in the hands of filmmakers who know how to capture a disturbing setting of gothic horror.

While this film does have some slow talky moments, it is among the finest vampire films of the 60s, equal to the best ones coming from Italy and the Philippines. Director Miguel Mortaya is a master.
