(7/10)
From b-movie maven Donald F. Glut who brought us the classic "Dinosaur Valley Girls" comes an erotic
comic thriller starring the lovely Brick Randall as a reluctant vampire (who seems equally reluctant to
keep her clothes on).
The story starts in the late 60's or early 70's as Scarlet (Randall) is about to record her singing debut
which is obviously poised to take the world by storm and make her a huge rock star. But fate steps in
and she has an unexpected run-in with the one and only Count Dracula (William Smith). His bite turns
her into a creature of the night, doomed to a life of searching for blood.
We jump into present day and Scarlet - who has remained pretty peaceful in her bloodlust, not killing
victims but depending on the help of a comedic Rennfield to get her nourishment other ways - has
happened upon a way to become mortal again. Apparently it requires three hot virgins that she has to
get it on with and bite and then everything will be back to normal.
OK, it's not exactly the most cerebral vampire move ever, but you must have known that coming in and
it's got a lot going for it. First and foremost, in case you missed it, that's William Smith as Count Dracula!
Any movie with William Smith as the most notorious Transylvanian is on the right track. And he's an
audacious Drac at that - note how he rips open Randall's blouse to look at her breasts before biting her.
Classic!
And in the lead role, Brick Randall is very sexy and appealing. She has a great body which is on full
display quite a bit, as well as several other very charming and gorgeous young actresses. It's all about
titilation and it delivers the goods without becoming boring or repetitive. For a film of it's kind, it is quite
good.
Apparently this was originally known as "The Erotic Rites of Countess Dracula" and was released
sometime ago. The new DVD with the new title is quite good and loaded with cool extras, including
outtakes and an interesting commentary from Mr. Glut and some other folks who worked on the film.
Worth listening to if you are interested in the craft of making low budget horror films. Overall, a winner!
