Review of Vampire Circus (1972) by Gordon B — 03 May 2012

Hammer horror that I had originally tried to watch years ago when they broadcasted it on the late great Drive-In Classics but didn't get that far into it & was kinda dismissive of. I couldn't have been more so wrong but I blame being over tired.

Vampire Circus is a mild vampire gem that in all is actuality a lot better then a chunk of Hammer's Dracula movies. It has a fairly stylishly dark & bloody tone to it that made me smile in glee.

A novel concept of a roving band of vampires who have returned to resurrect their master while striking fear & suspicion into the villagers who already believe their town is cursed. The climax feels a little rushed & could have used another 10-15 minutes getting out of the catacombs but there is more then enough for you to sink your teeth into especially for vampire fans.

.no not you sad Twilight mother-fuckers.
