hammer take a different direction with this piece of gothic cinema and break some rule . vampire walk about in daylight . for all it good point the big let down be the lack of reference to the original sheridan le fanu on which this suppose to be base . hammer take a different direction with this piece of gothic cinema and break some rule . vampire walk about in daylight . for all it good point the big let down be the lack of reference to the original sheridan le fanu on which this suppose to be base . it predecessor vampire lover contain more reference but i be hop for a full and proper transcription of the book into celluloid . tudor gate appear undecided which direction to take the script . yutte stensgaard be cast at the time a she be famous on uk tv a bob monkhouse co star in a game show . there she be require to look pretty and not say much a she show object to the audience . think of the the price be right hostess . she go on to make a couple of film s which be more credible drama . i first know of her via a short story on the web which have a couple of photo attach to it . you can see why everyone think she gorgeous . a painting that be around at the same time be by the story writer represent an actor call stephen armourae who have reappear in connection with esp research and i know he do more of other horror actresses include one about barbara stelle call catherine and another ajf . there be a rumour about an interview between him and yutte if anyone know more . i like this hammer film a there be something quirky about it . raven try to be lee . the change of cast to ralph bates be refresh and more convincing . i can not see cushing play that lust role . bat be more suited . also the eroticism could have be more and i agree with armourae review on this point while he have be try to get film make loosely base on these hammer theme but with great erotic content whilst remain tasteful . watch this film a for all it flaw it still classic of it time .
