Count Yorga, Vampire1070.
Robert Quarry stars as the Bulgarian neck nosher who is to help a woman contact her deceased mother in a failed seance and slowly seduces the women around him.
This was the first vampire film set in modern day. Still it isn't a great film. It was originally shot with soft core sex scenes which were pretty obviously edited out and it was turned into a sleazy PG rated film. It was made on a very low budget (it shows) and suffers from some horrible 1970s fashions and dialogue. Also the makeup on the female vampires is pretty poor. Still this isn't a total disaster either.
The script is actually pretty intelligent considering this was a fairly rushed production. The acting is good especially by Quarry who makes an imposing vampire. There are some memorably horrifying moments, including the infamous cat scene and Roger Perry's final confrontation with Yorga in the crypt. I also enjoy the seance, a funny way to set the scene and introduce the characters.
