A young honeymooning couple are stranded when their automobile runs out of petrol. While Gerald heads to the nearest town to look for fuel his lovely wife Marianne is left alone to fend for herself but little does she know she is under the watchful eye of Dr Ravna from his estate on the hill. The couple finally find refuge from the worsening weather in a local hotel but the hotel has no guests and never does apart from Professor Zimmer who only seems to frequent the bar. A letter arrives at the hotel inviting the couple to Ravnas house for dinner but as soon as they arrived there is a feeling something is strange the couple feel completely entranced by Ravna and his family especially Marianne to the piano playing of Dr Ravnas son Carl. As friendly as the Ravna family are to the couple it appears that Marianne is the one that they are most drawn to. What is their plan for her?
Kiss Of The Vampire is yet again another film of the time shot beautifully with beautiful forests and amazing colours that pop off the screen to the creepy masks worn at the ball. Every scene is a wash with style and atmosphere from lavish furnishings and the multicoloured lighting that bounces off every surface in every scene it really does look beautiful at times.
Highly recommended.
