Colorful sexual romp as van load of "hippie" types gets stranded on the way-far side of England, this being a Hammer clone with an unmistakable flare for South American attributes. You've got bare breasted lasses here, lots of inane plotting and cornball dialogue and situations. The opening comes off as some sort of travelogue of Argentinian tourism...and then we get down to the meat and potatoes of it all...VAMPIRISM!!!
Weird, meaningless romp into nudity and the undead. Must be seen to be believed. I liked it, especially all those scenes of seagulls flying about endlessly, subbing in for vampire bats, I think. Weird again, especially in that Argentina, before worldwide cable broadcasting, cell phones and whatnot, can capture so perfectly the look and feel of the swinging sixties, go-go clubs and Hammer sensibilities, so much so that some sources even list Christopher Lee as starring in this film. He does not.
Whatever.., you're getting a great transfer onto dvd, a sharp picture with lush color. So if you're into a little south of the border mayhem and don't mind topless babes in ravishing Technicolor then I can recommend this travesty for you at all costs. High enjoyment factor, quite unlike any other vampire film you'll see any time soon.
