Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) ***

A serviceable vampire picture that blends modern with gothic, 1970's Count Yorga, Vampire isn't salacious enough, mostly plays it by the book, and thus doesn't offer any real surprises but it's competently made and enjoyable throughout. Not quite on par with Hammer's best output (largely due to the lack of a heavy like Christopher Lee or Peter Cushing and also the production design of that studio's better titles) but, despite some bits that drag, there's some amusing dialogue and the film maintains a solid level of entertainment for its 90-minute runtime.
