Review of The Body Beneath (1970) by Michael H — 21 Oct 2014
A repetitive, unfocused, ultra-low budget vampire film. Gavin Reed is fun as the vampire priest, the score is good, and the trippy sequence with the Vaseline-ringed lens is actually pretty effective. This is the second Andy Milligan feature I've seen and there are lots of repeated motifs from GURU, THE MAD MONK (released the same year): churches, vampires, hunchbacks, drugged drinks, impaled eyes, captive maidens, and hands nailed to walls.
The movie's concept is good enough to build on, but the execution just wanders around too much.
