El Vampiro - 1957 - 6/10
Marta arrives at the hacienda of her aunts and uncle.
It is near ruins, dust, cobwebs, seeping fog.
Most villagers and servants have fled following a series of inexplicable deaths.
Only the newcomer, the caped count chooses to remain. Indeed, he want to buy the property.
Outstanding Mexican horror boasts great photography, great sets, a fine score.
Restrained direction helps, too.
Those who pine for the Golden Age of Universal horror, this is a wonderful homage.
