Top Customer Reviews

The result of a co-production deal between American International Pictures and Hammer, and probably the final film the British company made that generated any kind of controversial buzz at all, Roy Ward Baker's The Vampire Lovers (1970) was adapted remarkably closely from Sheridan Le Fanu's 1871 novella Carmilla, and is the first chapter in what eventually became known as Hammer's `Karnstein Trilogy'.
In her most famous and iconic role, pneumatic Polish bombshell Ingrid Pitt plays the buxom vampire girl preying on the daughters of several noble families in 18th Century Styria; shedding her inhibitions, and her clothes, Pitt certainly makes for a memorable central character for the film, a sexually ferocious, bare-breasted blood-sucker with an overt preference for the female of the species; the canny, commercially-driven decision by Hammer to make a horror film based around the notion of lesbian lust certainly got some pulses racing back in 1970, and was aided in no small part by the gusto with which Pitt throws herself into the part.
Unfortunately, despite the literate script and great cast (which also features the doe-eyed, big-boobed waif Madeline Smith and the depraved-looking Kate O'Mara as Pitt's victims, as well as George Cole, Douglas Wilmer, and Peter Cushing as a trio of fatherly vampire hunters), the film is prevented from achieving classic status within the Hammer filmography by nature of its unfortunately under-budgeted look; by 1970, the lush on-screen grandeur of Hammer finest epics was starting to fade, with the company's period sets and costumes looking increasingly flea-bitten over the coming years (this certainly had something to do with the death of Hammer's legendary production designer Bernard Robinson at around this time).
