Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

fairnymph This bored me so horribly I was unable to finish it. I generally do not like older films much - I just prefer the style of more modern (80s onward) film-making - and this was visually unpleasant, poorly written, acted, and directed. At times the dialogue was so ridiculously blunt and deadpan (especially from the main 'hero') it was laughable, but not adequately to make the film watchable. The music was also dreadful, the story entirely unoriginal, and there was almost no one pretty to look at (yes, I am shallow), nor any good scenery (not that much could appeal in grainy black and white).I very, very rarely am unable to finish films and I have an incredibly high tolerance for vampire flicks, but this was just dreadful.

Brad Bennis The opening scene of La Invasion de los Vampiros sets a wonderfully chilling, Gothic tone which carries through. It's a very effective, creepy movie. Mexican horror is unique. It's not often in a classic horror film you can mix a desert setting equip with blowing sand and tumble weeds with lush atmosphere and vampires. This film very effectively captures the essence of what made great Mexican horror what it is. Although some of these films are often considered campy, one should realize that this is largely due to the infamous English dubbed prints Americans watched in the late 60s, which often times were poorly done and therefore often detracted from the films serious elements. I highly recommend this title as it is as well produced as any other horror counterpart from this era. That is if you can find a decent print of it, which sadly is not easy to do. This film deserves to be re-released properly.

m_magoon Nothing new to add as to the quality of the movie--the reviewers here have summed it up quite well. After seeing "Bloody Vampire" I just had to see its sequel and, as Count Cagliostro would say of vampires--a DVD of this movie actually exists!After an on-line search, I found that it's available in DVD-R format, which, they claim is compatible with most DVD players.I'd never tried a DVD-R and was a bit apprehensive, especially at the price (20 bucks delivered) compared to the 5 bucks Bloody Vampire cost me. But what the heck, I wanted to return with Count Frankenhausen to the Haunted Hacienda so I ordered it.The picture and sound quality are very good considering it's an old B-movie... I'd say a bit more superior than the Beverly Wilshire DVD of Bloody Vampire.It is, however, the dubbed version, which gives it that certain comical charm, however, I'd still like to find a subtitled Spanish version some day and see it as the film makers intended. It'd be a fangtastic horror flick!

pmsusana Like most of the Mexican horror films imported to the U.S. by K. Gordon Murray, much of this film is rendered unintentionally funny by some really awkward dubbed dialog. However, the film is worth checking out because of one splendid sequence which survived the dubbing process with its eeriness intact: When head vampire Count Frankenhausen is fatally speared during a brawl with the film's hero, Frankenhausen's numerous victims (despite each having already been staked through the heart) rise from their coffins in a quite unsettling scene, and march on the town. The reason this sequence still works so well is that it's mostly silent, with no mood-shattering dubbed dialog. Even in its Americanized version, this film still creates a powerful atmosphere of hovering evil, and the black & white photography is excellent.
