Bram Stoker's Dracula --Superbit [1993]
Hi Guys & Gals, The Vampire Lovers is based on Sheridan Le Fanu's very famous work,'CARMILLA'! THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, LUST FOR A VAMPIRE and TWINS OF EVIL form part of a TRILOGY released by the famous HORROR MAKERS of YESTER-YEAR,'HAMMER FILMS'. Ingrid Pitt portrays Carmilla in 'The Vampire Lovers'.Do any of you know, that she also acted in a Richard Burton - Clint Eastwood, adaptation of Alistair Mclean's WW2 Bestseller, 'WHERE EAGLES DARE'? In the other two films in the trilogy, I really missed Ingrid Pitt. So,as soon as possible, order the three movies and enjoy.

Reviews
An entertaining 2 disk set of two of Hammers less well known films
Review date: 2008-09-26 Rating: 8 out of 10
This two disk set contains the Hammer horror films The Vampire Lovers and Lust For A Vampire. Both films are very losely based on Sheradan Le Fanu's Carmilla.
First up is The Vampire Lovers starring Ingrid Pitt and a selection of Hammer beauties including Kate O Mara (The Rani in Doctor Who). Peter Cushing and George Cole appear as the male leads. There is quite alot of nudity and I think that the film is uncut - the decapitation scenes seem to be intact - they are certainly longer than the other releases I have seen. The print is in 1.85 widescreen and is pritty good quality with a few scratches.
Next up is Lust For A Vampire. This was one of the least popular Hammer films and is generally ridiculed. I have to say I actually quite enjoyed it. Ralph Bates stars with Yvette Stensgard taking over Ingrid Pitt's role (she was filming Countess Dracula at the time). Once again there is quite alot of nudity with some pritty mild gore. The print again is in 1.85 widescreen and is very clear with hardly and blemishes.
All in all this is a very nice package. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of extras. You get a couple of trailers bit no commentary tracks or behind the scenes - still you can't have everything.
