Dance of the Vampires (1967)

£0.00

(The Fearless Vampire Killers, or Pardon Me, Your Teeth Are in My Neck)


Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 124m
Director: Roman Polanski
Cast: Jack MacGowran, Roman Polanski, Sharon Tate, Alfie Bass

Synopsis:

Into Transylvania lurch Dr Ambrosius and his assistant, in search of vampires to stake. They are, however, powerless to prevent the vampirisation of a Jewish innkeeper and his household.

Review:

Getting this particular title from a genuinely uncanny vampires' ball sequence at the end, the film succeeds in balancing its parodic, generic and contemporary ingredients remarkably well: some of it is very funny, some very suspenseful, and the production has a hermetic, gloomy feel to it that is in sympathy with the secluded setting and doomed outcome. The spectacle of Tate passing from ingénue to undead femme fatale is a bittersweet one indeed.
