Audience Reviews for Lust for a Vampire

  The campiest of all the Karnstein trilogy from Hammer films is just a very boring vampire flick that seems to be in constant love with Yutte Stensgaard, because all you get is gratuitous shots of her, around, doing things I barely remember. Again, as with most the vampire flicks from Hammer, everything is very polished and with good attention to details, with the lesbian undertones the movie carries daring for the time but ultimately hollow as an outcome.

  The follow up to "The Vampire Lovers" is cheap and shoddy in comparison though still fun for fans of Hammer. Ingrid Pitt refused to return, rightly citing a poor script, so Yutte Stensgard steps in as Carmilla. Though she's very easy on the eye she just can't compete with Pitt's electric charisma. Jimmy Sangster, who wrote many great scripts for Hammer, directs this one in bland fashion. Ralph Bates is fun as a struggling poet who bluffs his way into a teaching job at an all girl boarding school. Respect.

  Hammer vamp action. This isn't quite as dark as The Vampire Lovers but still has its moments as a female vamp preys on the pupils of a girls finishing school to keep her, and her vampire masters, lust for blood going and to make sure the Karnstein family still have a hold over their town after hundreds of years. Not amazing but worth a look for Hammer fans.

  Zero horror but plenty of fake blood, soft porn and even lesbianism. It's quite fun but definitely one of Hammer Films' more camp late offerings.
