I like the film – and would even recommend it (with reservation) to genre fans – but tend to think the film (like many Hammer films) is given more respect than it deserves: it is good, but narratively flawed and unevenly acted. People who don't know what a Hammer film is (and, yes, a lot of people out there don't) tend to see that more than the aspects you or I might like in the movie. As for being a "Hard R", maybe — but an R it would definitely be. What was allowed in the PG films of the '70s to the '80s would, for the most part, no longer be allowed in a PG-13 of today... Hell, are boobs still allowed in R-rated films nowadays? (But if you like VC, give Twins of Evil a try. That is the real deal...)

Rated PG when it was released in theaters, today it would instantly be rated HARD R for Nudity, Graphic Violence, and various perversions. Regardless, of your review, compared to vampire movies made over the last 20 years in modern watered-diwn comic book vampire movies... This movie is THE REAL DEAL. It is atmospheric, exciting, and very brutal. Certainly no where near its PG given rating. I saw it recently for Free on TUBI and I was very impressed. Your review shows some excellent pics, but your review was way way off the mark for this excellent cult classicMichael Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16635114574576433611noreply@blogger.com
