Oddly, the title for this film when I found it on Roku was "Samson Versus the Vampire Women" and they call the hero 'Samson' throughout the picture*. This is odd since the Samson films were made in Italy...and this is a Mexican luchador film starring el Santo...not Samson! Now seeing Santo fighting against the undead is NOT unusual, as he made quite a few movies involving werewolves, aliens, vampires and Frankenstein! But the title is totally misleading and stupid.
The film begins with vampire women being awakened and released from her grave by some weird lady in bad make-up. You then notice that ALL of them sport very bad make-up...with clay-like gloppy make-up and enormous fangs. Fortunately, after some incantation, the make-up vanishes...revealing hottie vampires. What follows is a tale with vampire ladies trying to steal the soul of a lady upon her 21st birthday...until our hero, Santo, springs into action and ends this menace.
"Santo vs. Las Mujueres Vampiro" is a stupid but fun film....much like all the other Santo movies I have seen. Of course none of it makes sense and a masked crime/undead fighter is ridiculous...but also funny and surreal! Worth seeing...particularly if you are a bad movie buff like me.
*During the wrestling sequence, you can clearly hear the crowd cheering 'Santo, Santo!' again and again! I guess they forgot to change this as well.
