These type of films gave me some awful nightmares when I was a kid . Especially the Cushing / Lee combination .

Attention to detail is what sets these Hammer movies apart. For example, when Gerald knocks on the door of the Hotel and an anguished voice calls out, "Why can't you leave us alone?" (I paraphrase). This hints at something sinister and reinforces the mood set in the opening funeral scene. This is how to create a great gothic horror film. Take a lesson modern Hollywood. Subtlety beats Cliché every time.

Good sound, good color resolution. Worth your time if you like vintage horror!

Love this - and the music score is absolutely beautifully put together - far superior to the modern - particularly Netflix productions - diabolical music tones- whereas Hammer productions, worthy of an Oscar

Hammer horror films of the 1950s 1960s and early 1970s were the BEST.

A little factoid for all those musicians who were wondering ... Barry Warren, like Dirk Bogarde before him, took piano lessons for the role, and the film's music director, John Hollingsworth, was so impressed that he suggested that Warren take up the piano professionally. The miming is thus convincing ...

Omgosh... these old movies used to bring the fear out of me when I was a little girl😂🫶🌈

Typical Hammer movie: lush vivid color, superb cinema photography, intense and incomparable music of James Bernard that heightens tension, superb attention to detail, and above all, true to life story based on the factual rather than the implausible old wives tales. For a period of time people pretty much stopped believing in such things vampires and ghouls that suck your life essence out, but then they started to believe again. After all, who doesn’t believe in them today? We only have to turn on the nightly news to see them in all their hideous and loathsome glory as they run amok dismantling and toppling and destroying all that they do not hold dear.

@dinomite592

The "lush vivid color" is because they used 72mm film (the HD of its day) instead of the much cheaper 35mm film Hollywood typically used. Of course you need such lush vivid color to do a proper Vampire movie. Today's vampires only need nightly news visual quality to see all you need of their hideous and loathsome dull glory.

The film quality of this Hammer movie is so good and all the familiar Hammer horror touches are there. Hammer Productions gave wonderful entertainment in both Cinema and Television and of a style that was especially theirs. Thank you for posting.

I've just watched this film 5 times in the last couple weeks. The Shout Factory Blu-Ray has 2 different ratio aspects (1:85 and 1:65), plus, the bizarre 1966 TV version "Kiss Of Evil" where almost every reference to vsmpires was surgically removed from the film, with an entirely extraneous NEW sub-plot added. And all 3 versions have their own separate audio commentary tracks! The disc has only ONE real defect (as do ALL Shout Factory Blu-Rays)... if you hit "stop", it INSTANTLY goes back to the beginnng, before the menu, so you can't take long breaks in the middle without using the chapter breaks to find where you left off. (The company needs to be INUNDATED with complaints from buyers about this... as does Universal and Disney. To date, they're the only 3 outfits I've seen this "disc authoring" problem on.)

What a wonderful surprise! I've never seen this vampire movie before. I really enjoyed it.

The ending I just watched and another ending where after Ravner and his followers were destroyed, the townspeople were out in the streets walking around, laughing, talking and glad things were back to normal. Tania's parents were played by different characters. The woman who played her mother was an American actress named Virginia Gregg. The movie ended with Tania's second set of parents playing a music box to the theme Karl played for Marianne. I believe the parents tossed that music box in the fireplace and watched it burn. Then the movie ended. I liked that ending better than this ending.
