Good 1970's British Horror Classic
This movie will appeal to people who liked Count Yorga, Vampire, the Dracula/Vampire movies of the late sixties and 1970's, or any of several of the 1970's British B-Horror films. I found this very enjoyable to watch, with an entertaining plot, and a very kitchy campy feel to it. This movie WILL NOT likely appeal to those who are seeking any bloody slasher films, torture movies (think Hostel or Saw,) or similar.
I give this movie 4 stars as it is a GOOD movie for the type of genre, and I was very much entertained. Definitely not an Oscar winner, but good campy fun for those who like kitshy campy movies.
Captain Kronos
Great Hammer vampire film which captures every aspect of the genre and beautifully portrays them all with the right mix of camp, sex and violence. The actors are gorgeous as are the sets and the mystic English countryside. The sword fight in the end is extremely well done and an unexpected highlight. Those true devotees of 1970's horror will absolutely love this film.
Oh, I'll have you!
This was actually a surprisingly great film. Not very scary, or even that much of a horror movie, but it is a very effective action/ adventure type film, with plenty of references to John ford, spaghetti westerns, James Bond , and even samurai movies. A little campy but tons of fun, and is filled with acting performances that range from about average to almost brilliant. Highly recommended.
