Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe house is Oakley Court, used for exteriors in several Hammer films, and for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). It was later turned into a luxury hotel.
- GoofsIn the opening sequence, before the audience knows any character names, actor Murray Brown is seen murdering 2 naked women, actresses Marianne Morris and Anulka, in bed together. The real estate agent in the final sequence refers to this as having occurred 40 years before the present action of the film. but vampires cannot be killed by bullets, and Brown doesn't appear to have aged at all in that time.
- Alternate versionsThe original UK cinema version was heavily cut by around 3 minutes by the BBFC and the 1989 video was pre-cut but lost a further 26 secs with edits to a lesbian shower scene, sexual thrusting during the sex scene between Fran & John, the stabbing of Rupert, blood being licked from John's arm wound, closeups of Fran & Miriam's naked bloody bodies in the pre-credit scene, and the stripping and stabbing of Harriet in the cellar. The cuts were fully waived for the 2003 UK Anchor Bay DVD.

Featured review
This movie doesn't leave an awfully big impression but it still is some good fun for the fans of the horror genre and vampire genre in particular.
The movie has a splendid visual atmosphere which is mainly thanks to the beautiful English countryside. Yes sir, the English countryside still looks better than any other average Hollywood set for a movie from the same genre. Also the atmosphere of the movie in general is typical British, so I can truly recommend this movie if you're fan of the old Hammer movies and stuff like that. Even though the movie never really gets scary, it still knows to create a certain creepy atmosphere. Also the movie is filled with some good graphic gory scene's, which worked well for the movie and its atmosphere.
The story is just as thin as the ladies clothes. The are quite a few things that don't make an awful lot of sense and there are some moments that the movie just drags on for far too long, such as all the erotic scene's, which only all felt totally pointless.
I am also ashamed to admit that I actually rather liked the unusual musical score by James Kenelm Clarke.
All in all it is a movie that is worth seeing but granted that you have to be a fan of the genre to be able to appreciate this movie. And hey, it has got Michael Byrne in it, better known as über-Nazi Vogel from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"! Another reason why this movie is perfectly watchable.
7/10
