Viewing Notes

Such a different take on the traditional vampire movie, using, ironically, lots of traditional mythology about vampires. Caroline Munro is just gorgeous in this too.

For some reason I had thought I’d seen this before, but upon watching it, pretty sure I hadn’t (though, I think I might own it, ha!).

I will have to bump this in my queue after seeing your Munro comment. I know I haven’t seen this but now I’m intrigued esp. with your 8 rating. =)

I’ll be interested to see what you think of it. It’s a bit slow at times but I rated it a bit higher for originality.
