Review of The Vampire Lovers (1970) by Robert H — 03 Apr 2014
Hammer has never looked so sexy.
Vampire Lovers sports an esthetic and story similar to the standard Bram Stoker Dracula tale except instead of Dracula, we get tales of lesbian love full of bitting and blood sucking. Of course, this is technically an adaptation of the 1872 Le Fanu piece Carmilla which actually predates Dracula by 25 years but for some reason, isn't as well known.
This film has all the aspects you love about Hammer horror films including Peter Cushing!
I will admit, I'm giving this flick an extra half star simply for the eroticism it manages to portray considering the studio and time period it came out of and this type of film isn't for everybody but it does deserve at least one viewing by fans of horror and hammer films.
