Fangs of the Living Dead (AKA Malenka, The Vampire's Niece) lives up to its corny title. Directed by Amando de Ossorio, the director of Tombs of the Blind Dead, isn't totally responsible for its lack of quality. Apparently the studio had additional sequences filmed that destroyed the plot of the film. It apparently makes much more sense in the longer uncut version, which I haven't seen just yet. What it winds up being here is a very silly vampire tale with terrible acting and a plot that is ultimately is confusing and makes no sense. There's also attempts at comic relief which just sticks out like a sore thumb. Inevitably, there's nothing rewarding or memorable about the film, but it's a good exercise in seeing a poorly constructed film.

Now I got this one out of the Dollar Bin, in a little flimsy cover, its one of the best Early Vampire films I have seen, its kind of Comical in parts. You can find it in most places under $5.00 so add it to your collection.
