THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SCREAM FACTORY BLU RAY!

Ingrid pitt plays a vampire out for revenge against a small town. She gets herself invited to various wealthy households and seduces the nubile young daughters of the Austrian nobles (said nobles played by Hammer Stalwart Peter Cushing and Arthur Daley himself George Cole) slowly draining them inbetween some extremely softcore lesbian sexaimed at an audience for an audience growing steadily jaded by an influx of sex filled euro-horror from directors like Jean Rollin and Jess Franco.
Vampire Lovers is a film that has one foot still firmly in the old school hammer gothic tradition with fog shrouded villages, taverns country estates and period costumes galore. The other foot is in the world of the modern (for the 1970's) euro-horror imports that were stealing Hammers thunder. In spite of its attempt to pander to the more purient audiences of the time Vampire lovers is still a lot of fun. The sets are great, the performances are also uniformly good and director Roy ward Baker makes the most of things.
The blu-ray IS region free. A rarity for scream factory releases but it will play on your PS3 with no problems. Its using the same sources as the MGM midnight movies release and looks great. Theres some print damage evident but its still a noticable step up from that release. Extras wise it carries over all the bonus features from the midnight movies release including the commentary track and Ingrid Pitt reading an extract from Carmilla as well as including a couple of short new featurettes as well.

This is a classic Hammer Horror, co-produced by American International Pictures in 1970, this was the first Hammer film to feature scenes of sex and nude vampires! This DVD is a MUST for any horror DVD collection, and if you like sexy thrillers!!! There are no extras, however, there is a secret still gallery of around ten stills! Highlight the "o" in Vampire L"o"vers on the main menu, and hit enter!

The picture quality on this Australian blu-ray seems OK, but the audio is horrid. Whether it comes from an inferior source or has just been badly mastered I don't know, but it's overly-quiet and prone to what sounds like wow & flutter from a warped tape. It's noticeably worse than any of the DVD versions I've encountered (both US and UK releases).

I suggest holding off for the Scream!Factory release due in April 2013.

Vampire Lovers was released by American International/Hammer Horror pictures in 1970 and it went on to be one of their most successful films. It spawned two further sequels. Whilst it did not differ significantly from Hammer Horror's other films released at the time, it concentrated more on relationships and seductions rather than draculas and fangs. This proved to work well.
The production boosts and impressive cast. Peter Cushing only has a small cameo role at the beginning and end but Ingrid Pitt is excellent as the undead nymphomaniac vampire who seduces both men and women alike before drinking their blood. Also featured is George Cole and Kate O'Mara.
Though the film is not very scary as such, it is not played "camply" and the full frontal female nudity took it one step further in relation to the film board sensors.
It is my favorite Hammer Horror, not least because it features my old English school master Harvey Hallsmith (Harvey Hall in the credits) as a house butler.
One criticism - This release contains no extras - No commentary, no trailer, no subtitles, no language dubs and no accompanying booklet (although there is chapter selection). The film clarity and sound is however crystal clear.

I recommend watching this film and "The Abominable Dr Phibes" for classic Hammer Horror before it all started to get a bit silly in the late 70s.

The Vampire Lovers was always one of my fav Hammer films so i was a bit disappointed to find that the UK 15 rated stand alone version is cut. Missing scenes are Ingrid Pitt doing a brief full frontal and some of the blood letting at the end of the movie. However the UK double pack of the Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire are both uncut and both in widescreen.

I've always been a fan of horror movies made in the sixties and seventies and this is one of my favourites, mainly because of the delicious Ingrid Pitt who could bare her fangs and hiss with the best of them. I am delighted with this blu-ray edition and really impressed with the bevy of extras, especially the interview with Maddy Smith who clearly enjoyed herself in the role of near-victim to Miss Pitt's avaricious vampire. Heartilly recommended for those who enjoy horror movies set in medieval Europe with not a chain-saw or hockey mask in sight.

As any fule kno this is the first part of the Hammer's Karnstein trilogy (The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire, Twins of Evil) based on Irish Gothic-horror writer Sheriden Le Fanu's tales. With the help of The Countess (Dawn Addams) Carmilla/Mircalla/Marcilla is the vampire lesbian parasite who latches onto a host, drains them of their blood until they die and then moves onto the next. That's pretty much it as far as the plot goes. If that doesn't sound too promising it is told with typical Hammer conviction backed up with sets, costumes and the familiar faces of the Hammer stable. The direction by Roy Ward Baker is superb, his graceful camera swooping and panning making the film look incredible, for example, the pre-title sequence involving Baron Hartog (Wilmer) is wonderfully dreamlike and atmospheric. The production values are good too, and the sets superb (later Hammers would have much poorer sets). This film marked a change for Hammer and dictated the direction of the last few years of Hammer productions i.e. an obsession with tits, bums and lesbians (which is no bad thing especially if they look like Ingrid Pitt or Madeleine Smith). The performances are largely excellent, especially Ingrid Pitt who hints at pathos in her role as a vampiress through the ages and there are typically solid performances from the likes of Cushing and Wilmer (two 1960's Sherlock Holmes). There are a few minus points - George Cole is miscast as a squire (I always see him as spiv Flash Harry in St Trinians), Dawn Addams has a weird accent (when everyone else - Mayne excepted - is talking with an English accent) and there's some clumsy back-projection. Apart from that, this is one of the best latter day Hammmers.
