Don't let the trailer fool you. Lurking out there somewhere in cyberspace (or possibly on a good quality dvd) is an excellent copy of this movie, as crisp as something you'd expect from a prized Bava picture, not from something by Roberto Mauri (who also directed such films as 'Zorikan the Barbarian' and 'The Porno Killers'). Now, it isn't nearly the same class as Bava's best, but certainly enjoyable enough to at least spend the night watching with a couple of friends. It's just a simple, classic kind of vampire story. Evil count. Terrified villagers. Handsome young man struggling to maintain his humanity while he battles evil...
The dubbing is...well, it's an Italian movie. So the dubbing is fairly obvious. But keep in mind, that's pretty much how it works out with most Italian cinema, and there are plenty out there worth checking out if you can get over that hurdle many people seem to struggle with. It's well worth the effort.
