About this item
Amazon.com
Polish-born actress Ingrid Pitt's erotically supercharged presence is the highlight of this double bill of vampire chills from Hammer Films. In Countess Dracula, Pitt stars as an aging noblewoman (inspired by the real-life Erzebeth Bathory) who discovers the secret to eternal youth in the veins of young virgins, while in The Vampire Lovers (based on J. Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla"), Pitt's sensuous bloodsucker seduces Hammer starlets Madeleine Smith and Kate O'Mara and incurs the vengeful wrath of Peter Cushing. Countess is the more sober of the two films, with Jeremy Paul's script and Peter Sadsy's direction playing out more like an Old Dark House mystery than Hammer horror, while Lovers' aims for comic-book thrills with plenty of nudity and violence (much of which was trimmed from the American version, but reinstated here); in both cases, Pitt's sexy/scary performances make this DVD a memorably viewing experience for vintage and new-school horror fans alike. --Paul Gaita
Product Description
COUNTESS DRACULA VAMPIRE LOVERS
Set Contains:
Due to the enduring cult favorite status of these films and Ingrid Pitt, MGM's double-sided DVD offers a number of extras devoted to this sensuous star. Pitt is featured in audio commentary tracks for both films; on Countess (presented here in widescreen format), she's joined by director Peter Sadsy and screenwriter Jeremy Paul, while on the anamorphic widescreen Vampire Lovers, she is featured alongside director Roy Ward Baker and scripter Tudor Gates. Both tracks are filled with a wealth of production history, though Pitt's accent and fluctuating vocals occasionally make her contributions difficult to hear. Pitt is also heard on Vampire Lovers reading excerpts from the LeFanu short story "Carmilla," on which the film is based, over a battery of production stills. The discs are rounded out by original theatrical trailers for both films and optional English, French, and Spanish subtitles. --Paul Gaita
