Simple if not entertaining horror-fantasy that doesn’t have many standout scenes outside of the hilarious ending (seeing rubber bats on strings attacking people was amusing), but still had a fun time with it. **3.25/5**
Review By: JPV852

God is hardly involved, Mr. Harcourt.

Kiss of the Vampire (AKA: Kiss of Evil in a truncated TV version) is directed by Don Sharp and written by John Elder. it stars Clifford Evans, Noel Willman, Edward de Souza, Jennifer Daniel, Barry Warren, Brian Oulton and Jacquie Wallis. Out of Hammer Film Productions in Eastmancolour, cinematography is by Alan Hume and music by James Bernard.

Honeymooners Gerald (de Souza) and Marianne Harcourt (Daniel) stop over in a remote Bavarian village and fall prey to a suspicious family headed by Dr. Ravna (Willman).

Planned as a Dracula sequel by Hammer Films, Kiss of the Vampire eventually followed in the vein of Brides of Dracula by bringing vampires into a social situation without the famous Count as the figurehead. With no Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Terence Fisher or Freddie Francis involved, it does on the outside seem it should be a lesser Hammer Horror picture. Thankfully that isn’t the case at all.

There’s some wooden acting, less than great effects work in the finale and a lack of blood for the gore hounds, but this is still a wonderful Hammer picture. Ripe with atmosphere, beaming with glorious Gothic set design and beautifully photographed, it’s a film begging to be discovered by the vampire faithful.

Essentially a reworking of Edward G. Ulmer’s The Black Cat (1934), the narrative follows the familiar vampiric formula so beloved by horror film makers, especially the house of Hammer, which is no bad thing really since they do it so well. In fact it should be noted that the finale to this one is a departure from the norm and is rather exciting, if just a little abrupt in the context of plotting.

A bevy of beauties adorn the frames while suave aristocrat type gentlemen glide around the Ravna abode, this is very much a film rich in that Hammer style. Ignore claims of it being slow, for this is considerate to setting up the characters, and ignore the butchered American TV version, for Kiss of the Vampire is a treat for like minded Hammerphiles. 7.5/10

Review By: John Chard
Non-Dracula Vampire Film From Hammer.
Don Sharp directed this entertaining vampire tale(not connected with the Dracula series) that sees honeymooning Gerald and Marianne Harcourt(played by Edward De Souza & Jennifer Daniel) develop car trouble on their driving trip in Europe, but are aided by a Count Ravna(played by Noel Willman) who invites them to his castle for a costume party after they check into a local inn. The party takes a dark turn after Gerald is drugged, and told that he has no wife! Confused and outraged, he seeks the help of Professor Zimmer(played by Clifford Evans) who is also staying at the inn, and informs him that Ravna leads a vampire cult that turned his own daughter, and now wants Marianne… Another atmospheric horror from Hammer with a fine score and direction. A pity it couldn’t have brought back Peter Cushing as Van Helsing, but performances are still good, and leads to an exciting finale.

Exciting and frightening Hammer horror movie with scary scenes and ghastly events
Newlywed couple Gerald (Edward de Souza) and Marianne Harcourt (Jennifer Daniel) find themselves stranded in a remote little village in eastern Europe , Bavaria , Germany , when their car runs out of petrol . Forced to stay near a weird fortress and in a semi-derelict inn where they are greeted with suspicion, they are subsequently invited in by its charmingly evil owner Dr. Ravna (Noel Willman) and his two grown children. Later on , he head of the local aristocratic family offers his assistance with dire and unexpected consequences . Fortunately , hubby runs afoul of Dr Ravan, managing to escape , being helped by the mysterious knowledgeable Professor Zimmer (Clifford Evans) . Giant devil Bats…summoned from the caves of Hell to destroy the lust of the Vampires!Shocking! – Horrifying! – Macabre!

The vivid plot is the usual in the vampire movies , a honeymooning marriage stranded near a strange villa while receiving a surprise invitation to diner at the nearby castle where live vampires undergoing the ordinary bites on the necks . A properly creepy terror movie fully of thrills , chills , suspense and frightening happenings , particularly when takes place the impressive unleashing horde of bats to rout the bloodsuckers , though developed in mediocre special effects . This is a Hammer Productions movie though not part of Dracula series , this is also one of their most interesting of the period . The Hammer pictures were decried at the time for being too bloody , but compared to the terror films of the 2000s , they are practically G-rated. Well produced by Anthony Hinds who used the pseudonym John Elder fot his screenplay . Gorgeous and brillant cinematography by Alan Hume, providing some skillfully colour camerawork . Thrilling and terrifying musical score by James Bernard , Hammer’s regular .

The motion picture was compellingly directed by Don Sharp who makes of it pretty eerie and chilly . He became a director in the mid-1950s and turned out some low- and medium-budget musicals , such as the Tommy Steele vehicle It’s All Happening (1963) . In the mid-1960s he was hired by horror specialist Hammer Films and turned out some well-received horror movies , including this Kiss of the vampire (1963), his first for Hammer . He worked on a few films as second-unit director , before returning to directing again, and turned out a string of thrillers (39 steps , Hennessy , Our Man in Marrakesh , Callan , Brides of Fumanchu , Return of Fumanchu) and made all kinds of genres , such as Adventures (Four Feathers , Devil-ship pirates, Jules Verne’s Rocket to the moon), terror (What Waits Below , Psychomania ,Taste of Excitement , Rasputin, Dark Places, Return of the fly) , Wartime (Bear Island) and comedies (Two guys abroad , It’s All Happening ) . Towards the end of his career he worked in television on mini-series or popular TV series (Act of Will , Hammer House of Horror , Avengers , Tusitala , QED) . Rating : 6.5/10 . Better than average .
