AKA Kiss of Evil."I will not say that she has not changed in any way., Mr. Harcourt. She has, as you may put it, grown up - tasted the more sophisticated, more erotic fruits of... life."
It's the turn of the century and a funeral is underway in a remote village. A mystery man (Clifford Evans) turns up and plunges a spade into the coffin, killing the vampire within...We next meet Gerald and Marianne Harcourt (Edward de Souza and Jennifer Daniel) who have to make for the deserted village hotel, when their car runs out of petrol. There they wonder why the hotel is empty, but don't have time to ponder when they are invited to Dr. Ravna's (Noel Willman) castle for dinner. Ravna and his family prove to be perfect hosts, maybe too perfect...
A fine Gothic horror, that relys on a sense of unease as it builds to its conclusion.
