"The Vampire" is made by the same company that produced "The Return of Dracula". Like "The Return of Dracula", this film is very fun and worth while.
"The Vampire" has a different take on what a vampire really is. A doctor becomes a murderous monster after accidentally taking pills that contain blood from vampire bats. The doctor becomes addicted to the pills, but he knows there is a cost. He knows he will kill when under the influence of the drug.
This was a very good story. It is a nice parallel to life on drugs. The doctor was a perfect father and a popular fella, but by the end of the film, he loses everything. He sends his daughter away, he loses all of his friends, and he eventually loses the battle against the drug.
While not the best vampire film, "The Vampire" was very enjoyable. It had some good monster make-up and sympathetic characters I cared about. It was fun spotting several good character actors also. If you are a fan of "I Love Lucy", you will recognize the police officer that saves the day.
B- I recommend it.
