This is a superior
Hammer-style effort from Spanish
horror star,
Paul Naschy (aka
Jacinto Molina), better known for his recurring werewolf character
Valdemar Daninsky. Here
Naschy portrays a rather beefy-looking version of the legendary vampire masquerading as
Dr. Wendell Marlowe, the director of a castle-based sanitarium in which a quartet of lovely but unfortunate travelers have sought shelter for the night. Before long, the count has made late-night snacks of the three of them, sparing the virginal fourth woman for a ceremony intended to revive his long-dead daughter. All the
Naschy trademarks are on hand, from the rich
gothic feel to the nearly senseless story line (made worse by clumsy re-editing in the American release version); most available prints are missing much of the film's plentiful gore and kinky eroticism. This film is also known as
Cemetery Girls,
Cemetery Tramps, and
Vampire Playgirls, among others.
