This is easily one of the oddest vampire movies ever made. Ronald Remy stars as Dr. Marco who is actually a vampire.
In this film he is trying to bring his very ill and dying wife back to health by supplying her with blood. When this doesn't work, he makes the effort with his hunchback assistant and his female counterpart, Tanya (Eva Montes) to obtain the heart of his wife's twin sister played by the gorgeous Amalia Fuentes.
Soon Marco has an entire vampire army victimizing the small village where he has set up shop.
There are some genuinely creepy moments in this film and the bizarre use of ever changing colors works well to enhance the strangeness of the entire production.
I love this little film and I think there is way too much negative attitude directed at this horror gem. Gerry De Leon directed this and the presentation on Blu-ray looks a hundred times better than the previous editions I have seen.
This chiller is part of the Hemisphere Horrors Box set, which is one of the top releases of the year so far. If you get the chance you can check this out and see if you agree with me or not. Philippine horror at it's finest.
