Cruising through Amazon, hey I haven't watched a 70's sex vampire movie in a while.... eh, why not.
Produced by and starring Pia Degermark, this is a pretty damn fine definition of the 70s cult grindhouse movie scene. We have topless women aplenty as a woman inherits a castle with a creepy painting of her dead relative, who looks exactly like her.
Pia begins roaming the castle and soon enough finds a tomb in the basement, opens it and wabam, her relative is released because her relative was a vampire in the tomb. The two women look alike and so the clumsy butler tries to kill the vampire and keeps making mistakes and pursuing the wrong woman. This is a horror comedy, which I was not expecting, and even more what I would not have guessed was that it is actually somewhat funny!
It's a romp to see these deceptions and silly shenanigans going on and soon enough tons of people are getting turned to vampires. There is a great Abbott at a local church who gets flashed by a vampire woman and then seduced in the woods and turned into a vampire himself, and so he is also getting into trouble and converting people to vamps.
I liked this movie, but I have also not seen one like this is a while. So was it good or am I just nostalgic? I dunno, but I do think this was a pretty good one. A little overly long, but it does a good job of keeping things light and it knows what it is. Count Dracula shows up later doing the whole "I vant to suck your blood!" thing and it's great. I'll give it 3.5 stars.
