The Vampire Lovers (1970) ***

1970's The Vampire Lovers contains the requisite boobs and blood that the Hammer studio became known for at the time but it also features rich cinematography and a great gothic atmosphere. TVL is the first film in The Karnstein Trilogy, based on the 1872 novel Carmilla (the other two films being 1971's Lust For A Vampire and Twins Of Evil). There isn't necessarily anything story-wise that sets the film apart from others of its ilk, but there sure are some beautiful women in it, and you could do a lot worse than sapphic vampires, as far as I'm concerned.
