Slaughter of the Vampires
11 June 2007
Warning: Spoilers
A vampire(a hammy Dieter Eppler who moves as fast as lightning with little to no dialogue)terrorizes Aristocrat married couple Wolfgang(Walter Brandi)and large-chested Louise(the ravishing Graziella Granata)in an old granite castle where he rests his coffin in the wine cellar. The vampire also eyes the other females(including the little girl of a gardener as well)..he just wishes to infect as many of the ladies as possible. It will be up to Dr. Nietzsche, vampire slayer(Luigi Batzella, always puffing a cigar)to stop the bloodthirsty menace or else.

Despite lavish castle setting and the ruins around it, good fluid camera-work, and attractive lighting, this flick suffers from really bad dialogue and dubbing that's hard to shake off. It has too many dull patches and often feels a lot longer than 80 minutes. Eppler isn't very impressive as the vamp despite having a towering presence..something's wrong with that. Granata as the fetching Louise makes delicious eye candy. Bloodless bite sequences and we never see puncture wounds where the vampire bites his victims despite those neckless gowns Granata wears(and with such an enticing neck, wounds should certainly show)only adds to the problems of the film.
