Not bad for this kind of film
XXX-man24 April 2004
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS AHEAD***

Scenes tend to run on way too long, but this early '70s XXX film is OK if you like sleaze with a jokey, playful manner. The framing device has a newscaster warning viewers of a vampire menacing Hollywood. We then see said vampire in action, attacking women who, it turns out, don't mind his company at all, if you catch my drift. At intervals the action is interrupted for humorous fake commercials, in the spirit of PUTNEY SWOPE. The narrator occasionally intrudes to apologize to viewers for "technical difficulties" (a funny breaking-the-fourth-wall joke on the film's lousy color-correction job and generally low production values). It's not incredibly witty or anything, but it's pleasant.

Sex Vampires...
DBlackthorne16 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
In a comedic sex pulp men's magazine format, a-la in a very "Monty Python" style, the entire film is told from the position of a news reporter named "George Smutnam" in New York, relating the strange Vampiric happenings in Los Angeles, compiled by adventurous cameramen at great risk to themselves, chronicling alleged Vampire activity.

From the phallic cologne bottle commercial featuring masturbating model "Laura-Jean", to the efforts of Dracula / Suckula {the fanged actor actually has a necktie instead of the usual bow-tie} seducing several maidens, and indulging in both mutually-pleasurable oral and blood fetishes {particularly a very talented young lady with a perfectly-placed Devil's Mark}; an amusing Folger's coffee commercial featuring a couple sharing their intimate relations; to "Sandra Van Ocre" {a hilariously mustached man in drag} for an abrupt interview with "Rodney Alucard the 3rd", a direct descendant of Count Dracula. Then on to a parody of those "Go see Cal" Worthington car ads, complete with modified lyrics and a Negro slave girl; then back to Sandra for an interview with a female vampire named "Moona Lisa" who virtually cannibalizes her/him; now please view your monitor for another seemingly gratuitous scene of a couple having sex, when the girl surprisingly turns into a vampire; then a final exchange with Sandra who meets a predictably temporary demise by the fangs of Alucard and Moona.

"Remember... you were there! ...And now for the late movie, 'The Mad Motorcycle Monster Who Ate Naked Hippies'. Thank you, and Good Night."

Decent Horror-Porn

Suckula (1973)

** (out of 4)

Silly porno has a reporting in New York talking about how they've gotten footage of a vampire in action. We then see such footage, which is Count Dracula getting it on with several women.

SUCKULA was just one of many horror-porn spoofs and for the most part it's entertaining enough, although it falls well short of something like THE MAD LOVE LIFE OF A HOT VAMPIRE. This film is mainly interested in the porn aspects as the horror elements are rather small and usually the only thing that will remind you that you're watching a horror spoof is the fact that the main guy is wearing a cape and every once in a while we see his (fake) vampire teeth.

As a pornographic film I think fans of that genre will be happy. The majority of the action is women performing oral sex and the director certainly liked to get the camera as close to the action as he could. If you're hear just for the horror elements then you'll probably want to look somewhere else. It's worth noting that Paul Simon's Love Me Like a Rock is played throughout one sex scene. You have to wonder if the song was stolen because it seems unlikely he would have agreed to it being included in a porn movie.

Enjoyable horror porn comedy romp
Woodyanders29 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Dracula's lascivious rampage in Los Angeles gets covered by a TV news show. Director Anthony Spinelli maintains a zippy pace and an amiable lighthearted tone throughout. The sex scenes cover all the satisfying sensual bases: We've got fellatio, cunnilingus, and straight fornication. The gals are attractive all natural types; fetching brunette Antoinette Maynard as lovely, yet lethal bloodsucker Moona Lisa in particular is quite the hottie. Moreover, the TV commercial parodies are pretty funny, with the one about coffee and the raunchy send-up of those popular Cal Worthington car dealership spots rating as the best and most gut-busting of the bunch. The always reliable George "Buck" Flower contributes an amusing performance as bumbling TV news anchor George Smutnam (and also appears in a second role in drag!). Best of all, Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like a Rock" plays in its entirety during one of the sex scenes. A real goofy hoot.
