Directed by John Hough
A beautiful-looking gothic vampire film from Hammer, and one of my personal favorites of their selection. Very dark and menacing, this movie is one of the most daring efforts from the horror studio, and an odd showcase for the two lead performances by Playboy centerfold twins Mary and Madeleine Collins -- who actually give a surprisingly strong pair of performances. Filled with multi-dimensional characters, awesome costume and set designs, great suspense and build-up, and yet another fantastic performance by Peter Cushing (notice a trend yet?). Incredibly underrated, and one of the best vampire movies out there.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
