In 'The Vampire Lovers' sexy lady vampires frolick and feed in 18th century Austria. Based on the 1872 novella 'Carmella' by Sheridan Le Fanu, which delt with vampires 26 years before Bram Stokers 'Dracula', it is also the first entry in Hammer's 'Karnstein Trilogy', followed by 'Lust for a Vampire' and 'Twins of Evil'. The film is shockingly erotic, best remembered for its lesbian romance between Ingrid Pitt and Maddy Smith. Aside from the lovely ladies and any scene with Renton the butler (Harvey Hall) it's pretty dull, but it doesn't really need much else. ***
