Worth it for Barbara Carrera alone. 

Doesn't she come out of some sort of membrane, au natural?

The whole relationship between her and Rock Hudson is very icky....

Count Dracula's Great Love (1974) Paul Naschy

"Four women spend the night in an old deserted sanitarium on a mountain. They each in turn fall into the the evil hands of a vampire (Naschy) who forces them to suck each others blood and to whip innocent village virgins so they can lick the oozing cuts clean. "

Naschy manages to pull together the best elements of Lugosi and Lee, then the worst elements of the current glittery love-tortured vampires of the teenaged limp-wristed Emo-sensitive drivel we're inundated with today.

On the positive side, until the very end of the movie, Naschy is a sort of Gothic Charlie Sheen, plowing his way through nubile babes (genuinely gorgeous women in this one) in search of a virgin to fall in love with him and thereby maximize his powers. The settings are dark and gothic, the blood flows like water, and the entire enterprise is imbued with a faux Hammer vibe.

Even without the virgin bride to maximize his evil MoJo, his impressive powers seem to include the enviable ability to make lingerie vanish without a trace. And he's not afraid to use it.

Seriously, there's nothing shocking here. The movie is actually pretty decent......... until possibly the most frail ending in the annals of vampire cinema. A different ending would have garnered it a solid 7 banana rating. As it stands, the ending lops off a full 1 1/2 bananas for a 5.5 banana rating.

Definitely worth seeing, but prepare yourself with some Dramamine to stave off the nausea you're sure to encounter in the final scenes.

My friend, what I feel can be summed up in one word - "eauw"!

The opposite here.  My wife is 7 years older, but while on our honeymoon, at age 37, she was the one getting carded.  The friend that introduced us lied to us about the age of each other.  It wasn't until we had been dating a while that I found out how old she was.  It wasn't until after we were married for a while that I found out about her painting in the locked room.

I'm watching the one with the"painting in the locked room" right now!  PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (1945).   I watch it for the movie--the acting--the plot--the Albright painting--but above all, for Angela Lansbury, in all her glowing perfection in this movie.

Beautiful girl:

"The Thing With Two Heads" (1972) Rosey Grier, Ray Milland

"A rich but racist man is dying and hatches an elaborate scheme for transplanting his head onto another man's body. His health deteriorates rapidly, and doctors are forced to transplant his head onto the only available candidate: a black man from death row."

Boy.............the 70s must have been ROUGH for former A-List Hollywood star Ray Milland. Here he spends the entire movie looking over the shoulder of Rosey Grier pretending to be attached to his neck. He basically plays a racist boil. The content of the film is so spare and flimsy that they had to pad it out with a 20 minute (yes, TWENTY MINUTE) car chase. And believe me, we're not talking about a "Bullitt" or "Smokey And The Bandit" type chase scene. Pure pedal-to-the-metal boredom. Even the sight of a two-headed guy on a dirtbike couldn't make it tolerable.

It may have been far better to play the entire film for camp, but they actually seemed to take it seriously.

Even though schlock and the films of the 70s are two of my very favorite things, when you transplant those heads onto the body of a film this bad, you have to hope the patient dies during surgery.

1/2 banana.
