VAMPIRE CORRUPTION
THE V@MP!RE L0VERS - 1970 - ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Vampire_Lovers ) Elusive
vampiress Carmilla (also known as Mircalla and Marcilla - and played by
the luscious Ingrid Pitt) escapes death at the hands of an Austrian
vampire hunter. Carmilla fakes an accident to win the sympathy of the
Morton family - nearby aristocrats - and soon she has been taken into
their noble household. One thing to which Carmilla is quite partial is
the blood of female victims, and pretty soon she has befriended Emma
Morton (Madeline Smith), whom she hopes to entice into a lesbian love
affair before vampirising her. However, Emma's father Roger (George
Cole) and his friend Von Spielsdorf (Peter Cushing) realize that
something isn't quite right and eventually uncover Carmilla's sinister
secret.The film is handsomely photographed and nicely directed
by Hammer veteran Roy Ward Baker. There's not much here to distinguish
this one from all the other Hammer horrors, other than the
stronger-than-usual sexuality. Which is Always good......
