This was a fun, eat your popcorn, sit back and enjoy kind of movie. Yes Bela Lugosi was displaying more ham than Hormel's and no one, save perhaps Mr. Obry, distinguished themselves as actors but I had a good time watching it, and isn't that what the movie industry is ultimately about, entertainment? The best part of the film is its sense of humor. At no time does it take itself too seriously. Frieda Inescourt is sufficiently stiff upper lip British aristocrat and Nina Foch looks as good as I've ever seen her. Cheesy? YES Melodramatic? Oh you had better believe it! But you never get the impression that the cast or crew were under any illusions that they were producing HIGH ART. If you have a little over an hour to kill and are looking for a way to fill that kitschy entertainment void in your life, the Return of the Vampire should be right up your alley!
