The girls are the best part of it

Warning: Spoilers
*POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD* I watched this movie once a long time ago and it is passable entertainment for one viewing I would say. The women in it are very hot but I suspect it was made by the same people who made SLAUGHTER OF THE VAMPIRES since it contains drawings with dissolves between them to depict the climactic disintegration of the vampire. I know make-up solutions to such technical problems are challenging but I think someone with some imagination and inventiveness could have come up with something better than what's on display here. I seem to recall it was well-shot and the castle sets looked nice. As is the case with many European horror films from the 1960s, it can be more than a little bit dull at times. I expected to at least see some fun bargain-basement special effects or make-up though. I found this one disappointing. I guess if you want to find that though, it's best to stick with the "brand name" horror specialists of the time, Mario Bava and Antonio Margharetti. Either of them could have made something better out of this same script.
