Not Bava ------SPOILERS------

Having read comparisons between this movie and Mario Bava's films, I'd looked forward to seeing it for sometime. It's the story of a horribly disfigured woman who goes to a doctor for some unconventional treatments. It seems he has developed a serum that will restore the woman's beauty. But, the serum must be applied regularly and the supply soon runs out. As the doctor has fallen in love with the woman, he must do whatever it takes to get the ingredients to make more serum - even if that means killing other women.

Let's see, comparisons with Bava. 1. Black & white - so is Bava's Black Sunday. 2. Well, there really isn't a 2 as far as I'm concerned. Atom Age Vampire makes most other "slow" movies seem like roller coaster rides. I actually had to wake myself twice and rewind the movie. Also, while I'm generally one of those people that will defend dubbing in Italian movies, I can't do that here. This is one of the first times I can actually say that the dubbing got in the way of my enjoyment of a movie.
