This entertaining horror film sees a bright young couple break down in a sinister Eastern European Village during their honeymoon, a nasty surprise awaits as they discover it's more than just the local claret that's full of bite.
I can't say it's the best offering from the legendary Hammer, but it's a very good offering nonetheless. The most striking thing initially, is just how good it looks, I picked up the blu ray, and wasn't expecting a huge deal, however it looks incredible, it's bright and sharp.
The story is the usual affair, think of the attractive blond at the mercy of the local, shadowy figure, however there is a lot more going on than just that.
The acting is really nice also, Edward de Souza is very good, and cuts a dashing figure.
If you're expecting a caped Dracula, you may just be disappointed, however there's enough here to keep you entertained.
Special effects are what you'd expect and perhaps hope for, the pink paint blood and Halloween store bats, it all adds to the magic though.
The ending is still pretty impactful, overall it's a must for fans of classic horror, 7/10.
