    Twin playmates are the main attraction here. This was a good time to be Peter Cushing. Lots of eye candy on the sets.

    Good late Hammer. A shame to see Dennis Price so wasted, but Cushing gives perhaps his best late performance as a witch-hunter. The film obviously owes a debt to the much more serious "The Witchfinder General". It's remarkably chaste for a late-period Hammer, especially given the...( read more) Playboy pin-up twin leads.

    Identical twins (Mary & Madeleine Collinson) are nieces of the God-fearing Gustav Weil (Cushing), a man who passes his time by burning young women in order to "cleanse their souls". These burnings are in fact a misguided attempt by Weil and his sadistic mob, known as the Brotherh...( read more)ood, to end the mysterious deaths of young men in the village. However, deep down Weil suspects that the real problem lies with the local aristocrat, Court Karnstein (Damien Thomas) but is fearful of the possible repercussions of attacking a man with powerful allies. Unbeknown to him, his more rebellious niece, Frieda, has decided that the strict, puritian lifestyle is not for her and is drawn by the forbidden delights offered by Karnstein....

    This is the third instalment of the loosely linked Carmilla triology (The Vampire Lovers and Lust For A Vampire being the other two).

    Peter Cushing loves to burn witches. They might not even have to be a witch; maybe just a little slutty & 'whoof', up in flames they go. Things go horribly wrong when one of his nieces falls in w/ some vampires & it's time to set her ablaze. Cushing knows little about vampires ...( read more)this time out but he's lucky that someone does so it's off to chop some heads & drive some stakes because even if you're family you don't get off so easily.

    I did not really like this movie.

    Please get this classic Hammer vampire lesbian movie on an American DVD!

    Now I can see that this is a wierd take on the "Bad Seed"
