The Velvet Vampire (1971) is a movie I recently watched on Shudder. The storyline follows a young couple who take an adventure to an Arizona estate and meet a vampire named Diane. Diane shows them a wild lifestyle of sex and ecstasy...and it will only cost them their life as they know it. Will they become vampires like Diane or try to escape into the desert?

This movie is directed by Stephanie Rothman (Blood Bath) and stars Michael Blodgett (Beyond the Valley of the Dolls), Sherry E. DeBoer (Making It) and Celeste Yarnall (Fatal Beauty).

This is a classic 70s movie with great cars and soundtrack. The sex scenes were very weird in how they were filmed and delivered. The women are smoking hot and the corpses are well done. The horror scenes are limited till the bus stop scene then the movie takes off. Everything after the bus boarding sequence is fantastic and the movie does have a worthwhile conclusion.

Overall this is an above average addition to the horror genre that's definitely worthy a viewing. I would score this a solid 6.5/10 and recommend watching it once.
