A runner keeps waking up in a hospital bed to a new horror, an unnatural serial killer with an appetite for blood murders women in London, and apparatchik in an unnamed fascist/communist state covers up research into übermensch with a deadly 'Vulcan neck pinch' - three parallel stories that are (vaguely) tied together in the final reel. Also in triplicate, iconic horror stars Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price, who unfortunately do not add much to the film beyond marquee-value (Cushing is in little more than an extended cameo). Much of the film is a lengthy car/foot chase as the strangely unarmed (even by British standards) police pursue the vampiric serial-killer. The film has some good moments (the hospital-bed scenes, which are all I remembered from a decades-past viewing, are a nosocomephobic's nightmare), but the intriguing tripartite build-up is let down by a flat and unsatisfying ending. Not great but different and watchable for fans of 'body-horror'.
