Amazon Prime VideoLush gothic Hammer horror with Ingrid Pitt, Madeline Smith and Peter Cushing RELEASED IN 1970 and directed by Roy Ward Baker, "The Vampire Lovers" is a Hammer horror based on Irish novelist Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Carmilla,” which was published in 1872 and predated Bram Stoker’s “…
Okay vampire horror movie with some lovely women, though the lead (Ingrid Pitt) couldn't really act. Wasn't terribly invested other than when Peter Cushing was on screen (he's missing for the second act) and frankly as a whole this is rather forgettable. **3.0/5**
it's not necessarily the best movie ever but you end up forgiving that because IT'S SO PRETTY!!! It's so vibrant and rich looking and gorgeous!! This era of vamp movies is absolutely one of my faves they absolutely nail the visuals and decor etc etc, it's so freaking beautiful
