Disappointing curiosity about bloodless Moroccan vampires
1 June 2020
Never heard of this minor British horror before, then it turned up on late night TV. It opens up interestingly enough - our main character (played by William Sylvester) is in a foggy graveyard, with a funeral in progress. Next he's in the crypt, so too are a bride & groom, some bats and skeletons. This is all very cheap and cheesy looking, it turns out to be a nightmare. Sadly this early promise is scuttled, the majority of the film is rather boring, has bad acting (some very unconvincing foreign accents), blatant day for night scenes,weak continuity and not much horror. The vampires here don't appear to have fangs, I don't remember seeing much, if any, blood and there is too much waffle about the light and the darkness (good and evil). The print that was screened was of poor quality so that didn't help. Some great scenes of the Moroccan desert though. I do love British horror, especially from this period, but this was sadly rather poor.
