LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES 1974 (MILLENIUM)

A sadly over looked Hammer horror thriller.

Peter Cushing and Julie Ege star in this wild and exciting hammer horror film which mixes horror and kung fu, and does a damn nice job of it too. Hammer teamed with the Shaw Brothers to bring this to the screen.

Cushing is Van Helsing, now teaching in China. He is asked to help a small group of people fight a Vampire cult that is being led by Count Dracula. Soon they find themselves fighting undead minions of Dracula. The kung fu is excellent and despite what you may have read this is a very well made film.

Millenium has turned this out in a beautiful print in widescreen and it has never looked better. Ege looks fantastic as does Szu Shih, the lone Chinese female who can really kick some major ass when she has too. Check it out!!
