The Vampire Lovers (1970)

My rating - 7/10

(click on images below for larger versions)

In 18th century Germany the beautiful and sexy vampire Carmilla Karnstein targets the young innocent girls of the rich.

Ingrid Pitt, Madeline Smith, Kate O'Mara and Peter Cushing star in this wonderful and often sexy vampire movie based on the 1872 novel Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. Hammer studios bring us more wonderful sets and costumes. good performances from all involved and there's plenty of bare flesh on display too, although in this case the gore is kept to a minimum with only a decapitated head being a standout.

This was the first in the Karnstein Trilogy which also included Lust For A Vampire (1971) and Twins Of Evil (1971) so spend an evening with all three for extra fun. If you're a Hammer studios fan then this is a must see and comes highly recommended.
