Review of Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) by Kevin R — 01 Apr 2012
One of the best early 70s vampire films. The film begins and stays in comtemporary Los Angeles where the Count played charismatically by Robert Quarry begins to prey on a small group of friends. Some very well staged shock moments and a great atmosphere add up to a scarefest that although only rated PG13 will leave a lasting impression.
One of many downbeat films made in California around the time of the Manson murders. This is Quarry's first of two appearances as Yorga and he compares very favourably with Christopher Lee at Hammer.
Thoroughly recommended intelligent shocks.
