Ten years after his successful stint as Tarzan, Lex Barker is still in hero mode. At the end of the '50s, he found work surprisingly hard to come by and so travelled further afield than his native America where he still received top billing. He's a bit wooden in this, to be honest, but then he isn't required to do an awful lot other than to look smouldering and get involved in a few scraps - which he does with aplomb.
There are echoes of Dracula here, with blood providing life (long) after death, and Christopher Lee as Count Regula. Dripping corridors, a doomy atmosphere and plenty a heaving bosom, all heartily directed by Harald Reinl, ensure a thickly sliced slab of gothic splendour.
