a creaky picture, but not without charm, 22 March 2009
6/10
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

Alice Hollister is perhaps a rather matronly 'vampire', chasing after young Harry Millarde and distracting him from new job in the city, and country girlfriend. Still, it is a story we've heard many times before, and which would become a staple in silent cinema.

The city is presented as a hotbed of depravity which can easily suck in even the most virtuous of men, while Hollister portrays the kind of woman gone wrong who preys on young 'uns with ready cash to spend. It isn't surprising that as Millarde becomes embroiled in drink and the pleasures of the night she washes her hands of him.

'The Vampire' is a basic warning with a happy ending as sweetheart Margeurite Courtot goes to the city herself to rescue the man she loves - but there isn't a sticky end for the loose woman herself; cinema would find ways to make them pay in later years.
