Grave Of The Vampire: Review

starstarstarstar
Perverse and bizarre without being terribly bloody, this picture features Pataki as a vampire who rises from the grave, accosts a couple making out in the cemetery, breaks the man's back on a tombstone, and drags the girl Vallacher into an open grave, where he rapes her. The now-insane woman has conceived a male vampire, which drinks her blood out of a bottle until she finally dies of anemia. Later, the grown-up offspring, Smith, is reluctant to do what his heritage demands and decides to kill his old man, who is teaching occultism at a university. Only half vampire, Smith can survive on small amounts of blood and can even venture out into the sunlight for short periods of time. Father and son play a cat-and-mouse game with each other, until the incredibly brutal climax, when they go at each other with no holds barred. Although crudely put together, this is an interesting departure from standard vampire tales, with plenty of unexpected curves in the narrative to keep the viewer off guard. While some sources and advertising ad mats for the film list it as R-rated, the MPAA rating directory lists it as PG--something surprising, considering the opening rape scene and the intensity of the battle between father and son. leave a comment
