The Mad Love Life of a Hot Vampire (1971)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
Porn film has Count Dracula (Jim Parker), his bride and their hunchback assistant set up in Arizona where the Count keeps a fresh supply of blood by sending his three vampire hookers out to pick up men, sexually satisfy them and then drain them of their blood.
Director Dennis Ray Steckler made quite a few porno films but I don't think he ever talked about them or at least I haven't been able to find an interview where he admits to directing them. That's really too bad because in many ways they're the best films I've seen from the cult director. Of course, Steckler always just wanted to make fun movies and his early films are full of this low-budget oddities but his porn work is actually a lot more interesting.
This film here pretty much plays up the horror elements but of course there's a ton of sex and some humor thrown in as well. If you're a fan of the horror genre then you're going to find this Count rather funny and his hunchback assistant is also very funny at times including when he has a hard time performing with one of the vampire hookers. The sex scenes are pretty much what you'd expect from a porno of this era but even with these Steckler simply wasn't just going for a money shot. A lot of humor is in the sex as well.
The highlight has to be the scenes where the vampire hookers go to drain the blood. Yes, guys, you might want to cover your eyes even though you can tell that the vampire teeth are the plastic ones we all buy at Halloween time. Still, THE MAD LOVE LIFE OF A HOT VAMPIRE is a fun film. Clocking in just under a hour there's certainly nothing ground-breaking here but it's a fun little movie. Plus, you have to remember that this was several years before Jess Franco's THE FEMALE VAMPIRE.
