short review: Another film belonging to the sub-genre of adult vampire movies. An impressive scenario (as far as adult movies go) is created, with castles, bloody bites and mental control over the vampire's victims. Catacombs and lots of historical costumes are added for the credibility. Not really bad, but keep in mind: it's adult material with vampiric content!  |
