Not a official Vampire Movie
5 May 2009 | by (Netherlands) – See all my reviews

This film is not a vampire film classification! But on first glance, this film is no official Vampire Film and second film was also too short, but 2 minutes! The French film - Le Manoir Du Diable (1896) (The Devil's Castle) was the first short horror movie. The 'real' count of the Vampire Films started in the year 1909 - Titel: ''The Vampire of the Coast'' (1909). This -> Trivia: May be the first horror and "vampire" film is nonsense! ''In a castle, a flying bat turns into the Devil'' - this says enough that this vampire is essentially no! The titles of this Movie say it enough: Also Known As: Manor of the Devil, The Devil's Castle, The Devil's Manor, The Manor of the Devil (english)

  • This is not about a Vampire, but the Devil!
