Kiss of the Vampire (1963)

Kiss of the Vampire is a Hammer Horror film about a newlywed English couple on their honeymoon in Germany circa 1905, and the vampire cult that attempts to recruit the misses. Nominal lead Edward de Souza looks remarkably like Raul Julia. A few elements in this, like how the vampires operate as a cult, and the way in which the film ends feel a little fresher then most Hammer vampire movies. It also feels perhaps the closet to The Devil Rides Out, my favorite Hammer film, of any of the studios other product which I have seen. ***
