This film begins with a murder, one that some jurors would consider justified. After that it slows down somewhat. Do vampires live in the American desert? Well, not live exactly, but...The next death is accidental, but only because the victim ran into a sharp implement before he could be dispatched.
The next scene worthy of note takes place in the dark, but you can just about see it, that's what you get for taking a trip down an abandoned desert mine with a mysterious woman in red. After that, it gets a bit silly. There is a certain amount of nudity in "The Velvet Vampire", but not enough or of the type that would cause any reasonable person to brand it pornographic. Sadly there is little plot to speak of, although the penultimate scene is creative, featuring a chase through a bus station followed by the recognition of the entire Catholic population of that part of the city that not only are vampires real but that the woman calling out for their help is her next victim rather than an escaped mental patient.
