Count Yorga, Vampire, I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it scared the heck out of me. But I loved it so much, this was just such a scary film to me, well, I'd say I grew up since then, so just giving a review from a new perspective. Count Yorga is one of those films that came from the 70's, in my opinion, a very sexy vampire film, sort of soft core in some ways. It's a classic vampire feel with a typical plot and silly actors, but that is what makes a fun horror movie. In the dark, this is still a pretty intense film. I have to admit though that I have a bit of fun with it now, like the guys who are being fed to the girl vampires, you have several hot chicks who are scantly clad and want to suck the blood out of you? Yeah, it sucks that you're dead, but still, what a way to go, right? LOL, at least I thought it was pretty funny.

A group of young adults hold a séance for Donna, a girl who has lost her mother mysteriously. Count Yorga, her mother's boyfriend, is a mysterious man who never shows up during the day time and is a bit suspicious ever since all the girls keep disappearing when he came into the group's lives. But the guys are on a journey to get their women back, but it's gonna be hard when they find out that they are dealing with vampires.

Count Yorga is a fun horror flick to watch at midnight, I have to admit it still sometimes sends a little chill down my spine. The acting is cheesy and some moments are a bit much, but this is a classic and sexy vampire story that I'm sure if you love a good vamp flick, you're sure to enjoy this one. It's a classic in some ways I think and is a bit over looked for horror films, but it's all good. It has good scares and a charismatic vampire, Robert Quarry did an awesome job, he's very chilling.

7/10
