aka The Evil Twins. The Gemini Twins. The Virgin Vampires. Twins of Dracula.Gustav Weil, (Peter Cushing) is the leader of a puritan sect in nineteenth century Europe, who think of no better entertainment on a night than to find and torture witches. But even they won't go up against Count Karnstein. Until that is when he takes a fancy to Weil's twin nieces.
The third in Hammer’s Karnstein Trilogy, after The Vampire Lovers and Lust for a Vampire. This has all the elements that a Gothic horror needs, mad zealots, satanic aristocrats, and beautiful innocents ripe for corrupting. What's not to like? If you are looking for some gothic Hammer entertainment, then this should suffice. It's never going to win any awards, but then it wasn't meant to. It was made to entertain for 90 minutes, which it succeeds in doing.
