Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

azcowboysingr Typical of the low-budget B movies made during the 1950's, Curse of the Undead broke the mold by combining moviegoer's love of Westerns with the "new" Horror movie fans that thrived on such fare. Eric Fleming (Trailboss Gil Favor of Rawhide TV series), deserved better but Michael Pate as the gunfighter/vampire character, took his part and ran away with it...stole the movie from the other actors without even trying! This film had several memorable scenes, the one where he chases the preacher into the church is spooky, as is the one where he is seen on his black horse, rearing it up before killing the town Dr. Part of the reason (I think) why this movie rises above its level is the spooky and very dark, moody musical score. All in all, this is a good one to watch when you're tired of all the unnecessary gore that seem to be a staple of modern vampire films. The only thing I didn't like is that the vampire had no fangs, just normal teeth...oh well, I guess you can't have everything.

ronevickers Whilst no one could lay claim to this film being a classic, it is unusual and entertaining enough to warrant viewing, and deserves credit for being different to the norm. Obviously shot on a very limited budget, it is nevertheless smartly scripted, and has a dark and brooding atmosphere which is helped enormously by the black and white photography. Whilst some of the acting is not exactly top-drawer, the film benefits greatly from an excellent performance by Michael Pate, whose menacing presence as the vampire, Drake Robey, still manages to elicit a certain degree of sympathy with the character's plight. It would also be unfair to overlook Eric Fleming's earnest portrayal of the brave preacher. He brings the correct degree of upright integrity to the character, and the film is certainly better for having these two actors in tow. This rarely seen film is worth catching, and is very much novel of its kind.

preppy-3 I caught this boring film on late night TV many many years ago. The plot sounded interesting so I tuned in. Boy, was that a mistake! I hate Westerns but I love horror movies--I though this would concentrate on both genres. WRONG! It's a low-budget Western all the way with a few mild vampire touches thrown in. The only mildly horrific scene was when the vampire was shown in his coffin...but that's it. No blood, no fangs and a vampire that can walk around in daylight! Also very VERY dull. The acting was actually very good--that's what kept me watching. So, if you like odd Westerns this is for you. If you're a horror movie fan, stay away. (Unless you like boring horror films)

twanurit A black-clad, gaunt stranger (Michael Pate) arrives in town, becomes a farmhand for a pretty rancher (Kathleen Crowley), eventually turns out to be the vampire terrorizing the countryside. This really is a clever, moody piece, another well-done 1950s Universal-International terror film, featuring good performances, creepy music, and an astonishing climax.
