I wasn't as impressed by this sequel as i was my first encounter with Count Yorga. Robert Quarry seemed to be going through the motions at times and didn't possess the charming menace to the same degree as he had done a year previous. On the whole the acting was better though and Mariette Hartley made for a likable heroine.
However the film ups the horror quota coming in as a R -rated film rather than the PG-13 escapades of the original. Two sequences stand out as frightening and classy moments. The first when the Count's vampire brides slaughter a family at the orphanage and then the final twenty minutes which is actually as thrilling a horror ride as i've seen in a good while. |
I actually want to see this now based on those scenes you described.
