Polish-born actress Ingrid Pitt’s erotically supercharged presence is the highlight of this double bill of vampire chills from Hammer Films. In Countess Dracula, Pitt stars as an aging noblewoman (inspired by the real-life Erzebeth Bathory) who discovers the secret to eternal youth in the veins of young virgins, while in The Vampire Lovers (based on J.

There’s something that the delirious Hammer fans seem to forget, in between gushing about the films’ pedigree, and the transfer, and the charms of Ingrid Pitt: bad scripts, antiseptic cinematography, operetta costumes straight off the rack, and perfectly awful acting. Plus: lordy, what boredom. Are these films really both less than four hours? Each?

Break out the popcorn, turn down the lights and you will enjoy such thrills and frights! Better than standard fare with righteous femme fatales. VAMPYRES! Four stars ’cause you get two equally succoming split tail flicks. Better than Hammer any day.

Don’t let the PG rating fool you Countess Dracula has some great boob scenes!!! Unfortunately that’s about the only reason to watch this excruciatingly dull flick. The best reason to buy this DVD is the inclusion of Vampire Lovers which despite the silly title is a very interesting and exciting film that has all of the fun and atmosphere of Hammer studios earlier vampire flicks starring Christopher Lee but with some interesting new twists. Oh! and it has better boob scenes too!!!!!!

so bad they’re bad . the other one star author here nails it . i’m a very big HAMMER fan and love their gothic output and the MUMMY films and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF and so on . T and A does not redeem these warm discharges . ECCENTRIC CINEMA led me to anticipate adequate mediocrity with the beautiful MS. PITT . ONLY for complete HAMMERHEADS . smoldering scat . from two quite good directors too ? less so MR. SADSY .

I don’t ever recall seeing these two movies before. It was a pleasant surprise. I thought they were both interesting in their own way. But don’t be fooled by the title. ‘The Vampire lovers’ is the only vampire movie in the set.
