Overview

Sixties couples Michael and Donna and Paul and Erica become involved with the intense Count Yorga at a Los Angeles séance, the Count having latterly been involved with Erica's just-dead mother. After taking the Count home, Paul and Erica are waylayed, and next day a listless Erica is diagnosed by their doctor as having lost a lot of blood. When she is later found feasting on the family cat the doctor becomes convinced vampirism is at work, and that its focus is Count Yorga and his large isolated house.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A low-budget vampire film that trades gothic atmosphere for creeping suburban dread, following a charismatic predator cultivating victims in 1970s Los Angeles. The film's power lies in its slow corruption of the ordinary and its voyeuristic examination of a hypnotic stranger infiltrating a circle of couples.
