   The Vampire Lovers is Hammer Horror's adaptation of Carmilla and it stars Ingrid Pitt seducing beautiful women so she can feed on them, including Kate "The Rani" O'Mara? Yes please. And it's quite watchable even if it doesn't really hit any heights in terms of implied vampire erotica. The problem is that even though Carmilla may be the first vampire novel, it's not Hammer's first vampire movie, and it feels a little bit like some of the others. Having Peter Cushing as a vampire hunter in there doesn't really get us away from that feeling. There are also a couple of enigmatic characters in the film that I wondered about, but on which I never got any closure. Who is Carmilla's mother, pawning her off to rich households if she's the last of the family? (A familiar?) And what about that strange vampire cavalier who rides through the story without a word? Hammer goes on to make a couple of sequels, so maybe all will be revealed. But for now, just strange shadows in the night. 3 years 6 months ago
