CRUCIBLE OF THE VAMPIRE is nothing more than a typical indie horror movie, hot on location and attempted atmosphere but absolutely lacking everything else required to make a 'proper' movie. There's cardboard characterisation, block-headed scripting, a singular lack of incident, and a plot that seems to have been mish-mashed together from bits and pieces of other, better movies. The only cast member of note is poor old Neil Morrissey, whose appearance in this makes I BOUGHT A VAMPIRE MOTORCYCLE look like a masterpiece by comparison.
