Blood Suckers
A group of friends search for a young English Oxford student who has disappeared whilst researching in Greece. They are shocked to find that, wherever he has been, certain unsolved murders have taken place. Not believing that their friend could be the perpetrator of such acts, they press on with their search, finding him under the spell of a beautiful Vampire, whose blood-sucking methods include the use of sado-masochism. Believing they have killed her, the group return home, unaware that their friend is now a Vampire.
Why it matters
A lurid fusion of Euro-horror vampire tropes and grindhouse sleaze that captures early ’70s genre transgression with a distinctly Mediterranean flair.
- Combines gothic vampire mythology with explicit sado-masochistic imagery, pushing boundaries before horror censorship softened.
- A rare English-language vampire film set in Greece, offering sun-drenched locales that contrast with its nocturnal horrors.
- For fans of Eurotrash and cult vampire cinema, it’s a snapshot of genre experimentation on the grindhouse fringe.
- Uneven pacing and dated effects may frustrate, but the film’s unapologetic eroticism and atmospheric creepiness reward patience.
