Curse of the Vampires -Blu-ray-

Product Description Severin Films Presents the CURSE OF THE VAMPIERS - Geraldo de Leon's 1966 Vampire Classic! In this pseudo-sequel to his masterpiece THE BLOOD DRINKERS, director Gerry de Leon (TERROR IS A MAN, BRIDES OF BLOOD) delves even deeper into themes of lust, guilt, faith and redemption within an aristocratic family cursed by vampirism. But this time, he adds rich gothic dollops of torture, incest, carnal depravity and blackface that "oozes sexual menace, brims with potent cultural metaphors and makes for unusually hypnotic viewing" (Senses Of Cinema). Amalia Fuentes (THE BLOOD DRINKERS) and Eddie Garcia (BEAST OF BLOOD) star in this "artfully executed vampire chiller" (Blu-ray.com) - also released as WHISPER TO THE WIND, BLOOD OF THE VAMPIRES and CREATURES OF EVIL - from "The Father of Philippine Horror" (DVD Drive-In) and now scanned in 2k from the only surviving film elements.
