Movie Info

In 1870s Transylvania, scientist Dr. Callistratus (Donald Wolfit) is put to death by villagers who wrongly believe he's a vampire. However, his horribly disfigured henchman, Carl (Victor Maddern), is on hand to orchestrate a life-saving heart transplant. Revived, Dr. Callistratus makes his way to a remote asylum, which he manages to assume control of. But, realizing the operation he underwent has left him with a constant need for blood, the mad doctor looks to his patients for a fresh supply.

Audience Reviews for Blood of the Vampire

Aug 26, 2011

A not very good vampire/mad scientist mash up. The vampire side of things was both underdeveloped and unnecassary. Story is a vampire is killed with a stake through the heart, but is somehow brought back to life via blood transfusion. Six Years later a doctor is sent to a prison for the criminally insane on a malpractice charge. The prisoner is quickly selected to assist in blood transfusion experiments, conducted by none other than the vampire from the begining of the movie. Whether or not he is actually a vampire is never fully explained, but it appears he was simply the victim of superstition. Yup. The story is none too original. At first I was enjoying the movie despite its obvious flaws, but by the midway point I was just bored. Towards the end I started to doze off but managed to stay awake through till the bitter end. I didn't exactly hate this movie either. It is what it is... A B grade film from the late 50's. But I'd be lying if I said that there was anything exceptional on display here. Watch it if you go for this sort of thing I guess. Just don't expect too much.

I don't remember this movie in great detail, but I remember it being alright, not good but not bad either. It's not one of the best vampire movies I've seen, it's more of a mad scientist movie.
