Synopsis
The very life force of a young woman is slowly drained from her each time she makes love to her lesbian lover. Her angry father is understandably upset at her choice of a vampire for a sexual partner. The incomparable Pitt is in fine form in this erotically charged 1970 effort from England's Hammer House of Horror!
Customer Reviews
Leerhammer
Classic 1970's Hammer cheese, featuring all your favourite Hammer moments in one film: Styrofoam gravestones, smoke machines, Peter Cushing running around with a stake and girls running around at night in white smocks.
The film pretty much follows the Dracula plot but with a lesbian head honcho vampiress. For example, a girl gets seduced then bitten, confined to bed with inexplicable illness, doctor can't understand what is wrong until he spots the vampire bite, Peter Cushing goes off to find the coffin of the head vampire to stake her etc.
A lively reminder of the days when vampires tapped on windows, wore cloaks and hadn't yet learned any Kung-Fu.

Bonkers lesbian 1970s sillyness
This is one of the funniest films I own. On a bad day, it's great to pop on a watch with a glass of wine. Hammer at it's most campest, with plunging neck lines, heaving bosoms and 'Flash Harry'; George Cole. The sets look very contempory, Ingred Pitt looks drop dead georg, as does Maddie Smith, and the film is what you can expect....scary music, obvious cliff hangers and a bit of a homoerotic vibe. Heh heh! Top stuff and a classic slice of cinematic history. One can't in all honesty be scared by this, but this is kind of it's strength. Buy this and save it for a rainy Autumnal afternoon with some mates. A work of wonky genius and therefore a vampiric must. BUY, BUY, BUY.......
