By imdb standards this is a "bad" film but the riffers at Cinematic Titanic transform it into a real pleasure to watch. To our eyes, the film is so ridiculous that it's the perfect set-up for jokes. The thing to remember about the original film is that, in lesser-developed nations like the Philippines, unsophisticated people who live in the rural areas would find this film to be both frightening and entertaining. It would have been a big hit with that audience. In that context it is a "good" film.

SPOILER ALERT! DETAILS ABOUT WHO WINS THE FIGHT BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL! PLOT GIVE AWAYS! Okay, remember those Mexican monster films from the 60's K Gordon Murray imported? It's like those. The dialog is just as loopy and laugh out loud weird. The guys used radio announcers, I think, to over dub, I kept expecting them to say:"Your mileage may vary. See your Ford dealer for more details." The guy who gets turned into a vampire reminds me of Wayne Newton. The good guy who remains chaste has a look like Ritchie Valens. One of the girls could have been in The Shirelles. Mom, who causes all the trouble, is a work of art. She doesn't say a WORD..just screams while Dad bull-whips her. (No, I don't know WHY...) For some reason, Mom has turned into a vampire, Dad has kept her in a secret room the rest of the family has NEVER known about (how would you HIDE such a thing???), hasn't served her the stake, and ties her up so she can't eat the villagers. Now, stop right there. K. Gordon Murray (and his clones)are like blue cheese and Regis. You either dig it or you don't. If you can STAND this kind of plot, you're away at the races..otherwise,forget it now..because the WEIRD stuff is about to kick in. Mom puts the bite on Wayne Newton. I get the feeling the censors said they couldn't show a lot of BLOOD, but nothing stopped them from letting Wayne open up his mouth, tilt back his head and look TOTALLY TURNED ON..and THAT is so very, very, disturbing..creepier then the blood. Wayne nails Valens, Valens is brought back to life SIMPLY BY THE LOVE OF HIS GIRL..and starts to bedevil Wayne. As a reward for being good and faithful, Ritchie and his chick are united in heaven-by-the-beach at the end..See? See? It PAYS to be good, kids.. Eventually, it's the 'traditional burning of the house', with the villagers all out with flames and local icons and clergy in full regalia. The whole crowd looks good in color too..and you get a REACTION shot from a Catholic Icon..think about that... The package is hosted by Fred Olin Ray, it's widescreen, the color is off and it's scratched."Just the way you remember it." Fred says. The series has been discontinued, so the price is right. I picked mine up for something like 3 bucks.. Not as good as BRAINIAC, but better then the color ones Murray imported..

Patriarch Don Enrique Escudero hides a secret in his crypt: his vampire wife. With such a terrible curse on his family, he forbids his beautiful daughter Leonore (Amalia Fuentes) from marrying her beau, Daniel Castillo (Romeo Vasquez). Soon after, Leonore's brother Eduardo discovers his undead mother in the basement and is bitten (the idiot having thrown away his crucifix). Pretty soon there are vampires everywhere! After Daniel dies in a coach crash (the brakes sabotaged by Eduardo), he returns as a ghost to strike fear into his killer (who knew that vamps were scared of ghosts?). Daniel's spirit is unable to prevent Leonore from being bitten by her brother, but she is saved from eternal damnation by a stake through the heart. As the Escudero mansion and its undead occupants are engulfed in flames, set alight by torch-bearing locals, Leonore's spirit joins Daniel in the afterlife. Heavy on the familial melodrama, Curse of the Vampires is more cheesy Filipino soap opera than it is horror; even when the fangs are out, the film delivers little in the way of scares, the lack of chills not helped by a cheap, garish aesthetic achieved in no small part by the terrible use of primary coloured lighting, with the actors followed by spotlights being particularly distracting. Brunette babe Fuentes is very easy on the eye, all heaving bosom and big brown eyes, and makes the going a little less painful, and the ghostly shenanigans are fun. Just try to ignore all of those Filipino extras in blackface playing the Escuderos' servants #awkward.

The patriarch of the Escudero family is in ill health, and has one serious stipulation in his will: burn the family estate to the ground after he's passed away. It turns out that he's been hiding a very big secret from the rest of the family and the community for a long time. This proves to have disastrous consequences for everybody when some of these souls venture into the cellar. Soon, a large percentage of the local populace has been turned into vampires. Directed by the iconic Filipino exploitation filmmaker Gerardo de Leon, "Curse of the Vampires" is enjoyable provided one doesn't expect too much from it. It has good atmosphere (and lighting; de Leon had obviously studied his Bava). However, it does play like a cross between a soap opera (dialogue and music are melodramatic, the performances cheesy) and a somewhat traditional Gothic horror film. This viewer says "somewhat", since it is a mite bit gorier and sexier than older classics of the genre. The scenario is most amusing the way that things keep going from bad to worse, owing to some stupid character decisions. The similarly iconic actor of the genre, Eddie Garcia (who only recently passed away), is a hoot as the antagonistic Eduardo. He's such a heel at times that he might as well have been twirling his moustache. Amalia Fuentes has some appeal as the heroine of the piece, Eduardo's sister Leonore. Romeo Vasquez is a hoot as her macho, devoted admirer who wants to have it out with Eduardo since the latter so obviously tries to put a monkey wrench into their happiness. And Mary Walter is memorable as the matriarch of the clan. For whatever reason, the household staff are played by actresses wearing blackface. Overall, the trashy, sordid plot was pretty entertaining, leading us to a climactic series of confrontations and some unforeseen developments. (Such as Eduardo having a duel with a ghostly version of Daniel.) Not as much fun as the "Blood Island" series, but enjoyable enough. Seven out of 10.

Bona-fide film buff here, with long family history in Hollywood (famous cinematographer, script consultant). In short, I know my beans somewhat, and am now going to defend this much-maligned horror film from the Phillipines. Yes, "Curse (or, 'Blood') of the Vampires" is far from sophisticated material. It has no such pretensions but is a product of its time and as such, is of considerable interest to film buffs like me. A sprightly waltz opens the action as a rather sedate family celebration is underway, marking the return of brother and sister to the family fold after some years spent away. They find old love interests and reignite the flame. Something charming in such simple romantic notions as fidelity, chastity and devotion. No drama, no lust, just pure romance until their vampire mother puts the bite on her son. The mood darkens; the reason the siblings were sent away was to protect them from all knowledge of the family curse. The doomed couple, Daniel and Leonore, effectively played by capable Filipino actors and a most attractive pair, are forbidden to marry lest the curse breed on. As the lovers flee together Daniel is killed in a carriage accident, leaving Leonore at the mercy of her now-vampire brother. What's worse, it was her vampire brother Eduardo who sabotaged the carriage, causing the fatal accident. What remains is a ghostly denouement, proving that love is strong as death. The cinematography is at times quite masterly and as has been said the production team were not your typical B-movie ragbag but classically-trained film-makers. The color is variously garish, faded, and overdone, all of which lends an air of unreality. The sound is not pristine by any means, but adequate. The setting is weird- Spain? Phillipines? A Caribbean island?- one never knows exactly, and the happy slaves in black-face confuse the issue further, creating an unsettling air. The way Eduardo's wife submits to him as her master and becomes his willing slave is perhaps the most erotic scene and there are a number of these, but none egregious. So, an oddball film of the genre, essentially much better than one would expect, but you have to be prepared to accept the offbeat and the unusual in order to get the most out of this film. I have watched a good clear copy for the past three nights in succession and my admiration has only grown. Loved it in my twenties and to my great surprise and delight, find I appreciate it even more now than I did in the 1970's.

I first read about this in Fred Olen Ray's fantastic "The New Poverty Row", so when I saw it for $5 at Grimsby Giant Tiger, I scarfed it up. And damned if it doesn't have Ray himself introducing the thing in a sexist intro that will do nothing for his Irving Thalberg Award campaign. As for the movie itself, well, there's not much to say. It's an example of the era's Filipino horror output - and not one of the best (!!!) either - mom is supposed to be dead but she's locked in the basement and has turned into a vampire, and bites her son, and quite limited action ensues, some involving locals in blackface as happy slaves. Dull and slow and not nearly as tawdry as the scene's rep.

This is a bad film. Its not a good bad movie, its just a bad movie. The plot has something to do with the adult children of a family finding out that their mother hasn't really been dead, rather she was changed into a vampire and had been kept locked up by their father in a secret crypt. I've run across this movie a under a couple of different names and under everyone of them its a turkey. Nothing in this film works. The acting is more like over the top soap opera spoof than any realistic. The aged Grannie who plays the vampire is more laughable than frightening with the result that you may hurt yourself from laughing at it all. 2 out of 10 for the occasional unintentional laugh, otherwise this is a movie to be avoided at all costs.

This is a real stinker. I can think of nothing to recommend this film. The film transfer is from a completely washed out print, the audio is muffled and muddy and the dubbing is out of sync. And that's just the technical problems. The story line goes nowhere. The acting makes those Mexican movies from the early 60's (remember 'K.Gordon Murray presents') appear to be Citizen Kane. For offering itself as a vampire movie I really don't recall seeing any blood in it. I think once or twice I did see someone bare their fangs-the five and dime store plastic variety. I picked this one up for $1.00 and boy did I get gypped. I forgot to mention this is part of a "drive in treasures" collection so there are intros and wrap-arounds with two unfunny individuals pretending they are sitting in a car at the drive-in. Even the intermission tag they use is faded and scratchy and appears to be about 10 generations from the original. This is a complete waste of time. Not even one of those so-bad-it's-good movies. Stay away.
