Fine chiller, first film of a diptych, a bit damaged by a hurried conclusion, it remains open for the second movie, "La invasión de los vampiros" (The Invasion of the Vampires). Interesting (and somehow funny) for the domestic quarrels between the Count and his non-vampiric wife, who is his prisoner; by the presence of Argentinian actress Bertha Moss as "Frau Hildegarda", considering that same year she was a guest in Buñuel's "El ángel exterminador" (The Exterminating Angel); and an extended role for Lupe Carriles, a cult character actress with almost 200 film appearances. The weakest parts have Antonio Raxel reciting endless lines, and the worst include a bat with donkey ears. Don't miss it!
