THE MONSTER OF THE OPERA (1964)
A dance troupe decide to perform in a run down theatre, ignoring warnings from the theatre caretaker.
The caretaker is the servant of a vampire and the lead dancer appears to be the reincarnation of the vampires lost love who betrayed him.
Slow moving entry in to Italy's vampire movies and not a patch on the earlier films PLAYGIRLS AND THE VAMPIRE and VAMPIRE AND BALLERINA.
The whole thing is very strange and I was baffled why the vampire kept threatening the girls with a pitchfork and never actually did anything. In fact, none of the vampires do anything at all. Like the above mentioned films there are many scenes of scantily clad dancers and sensual moments and that's great but that's about it. There is a bizarre scene where the dancers seem to be dancing in a trance for some reason and seem to be as baffled as I was as to what was going on.
