Not too Vampiric

Warning: Spoilers
The "Horrible Sexy Vampire" is not sexy and not a vampire in the traditional sense. OK, I guess he is kind of handsome for an albino Pole, but he doesn't drink blood; he strangles people to death. There is not one drop of blood drank, or spilled, in this movie. Wtf kind of vampire movie is that? The original Spanish title "El Vampiro de la Autopista" translates to "The Vampire of the Highway" which makes no more sense. A better name for the movie might be "The Murderous Phantom" or "The Perverse Undead".

The "Sexy" part of the title probably refers to the number of attractive women who who their breasts in the movie, particularly red heads. The fiend really has a thing for red heads. There are a couple more unusual things about this movie: the fiend kills many police detectives, and he has the power of invisibility.

The movie is just police detectives getting strangled, half nude women getting strangled, and atmospheric scenes with Count Oblinski getting black-out-drunk alone in his ancestral mansion. I won't say its a horrible movie, but its a blood-free movie with "Vampire" in the title and its slow in parts. It strikes me as the kind of movie people were meant to make-out too.
