The Vampire Lovers*
GB 1970. Hammer/American International. 91m.
Innocent young women (and some men) fall victim to a mysterious lady vampire.
About as bloodthirsty and camp (and mildly pornographic) as Hammer can get: an otherwise fairly straight adaptation of a famous pre-Dracula vampire tale, with most of the familiar Hammer ingredients, plus added lesbian overtones.
Written by: Tudor Gates, Harry Fine, Michael Styles, based on the story "Carmilla" by Sheridan Le Fanu.
Producers: Harry Fine, Michael Style.
Director: Roy Ward Baker.
Starring: Peter Cushing, Ingrid Pitt, George Cole, Kate O'Mara, Madeline Smith, Douglas Wilmer, Dawn Addams, Pippa Steele, Jon Finch, Ferdy Mayne, Harvey Hall.
Photography: Moray Grant.
Music: Harry Robinson.

Well, I generally love films with 'lesbian vampires' in them, so I'm wondering why I don't own this!?! haha! I think I saw this film years ago, but I would like to see it again. I must sort out some Hammer and Amicus films for my DVD collection -- I saw "The Vault of Horror" (1973) over Christmas which was very enjoyable.
Have you seen "Vampyres" (1974) yet? I love that film, and the Region 2 DVD release on sale is fully uncut.
