Great title and to my surprise there really is a ballerina, well several of them, more 'dancers' to be honest. These leggy ladies prance about a lot but the music for the film is so dreadfully inappropriate most of the time, it is to little effect. Shame really that the whole film is so mixed in quality. Some scenes are really effective, although these tend to be ones reminding one of earlier b/w horrors and others seem about to slip into farce. dialogue equally unreliable and overall the movie is confused and in turn confusing. I know the business of vampire victims coming back as vampires or remaining as 'blood banks' has always seemed a bit arbitrary but here even the characters don't seem to get it. This has to be the first such film when head vampire puts a stake through the heart of a potential fellow to prevent her from causing trouble on his patch. Worth a look, especially bearing in mind the director's later greats but a certain amount of patience required.
