Atom Age Vampire (1963)

Pretty Good

A different way of telling a story

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The actual title for this Italian film is "Seddok, l'erede di Satana". The version/copy I have is dubbed over in English very well which made it easy to watch and enjoy.The movie is not half bad - it actually kept my interest until the very end of the film. This is the type of movie that horror buffs might enjoy when they are in the mood for a fairly good older b-rated sci-fi horror flick.Jeanette Moreneau (Susanne Loret) is a stripper and had her face disfigured in a car accident. She ends up in a hospital where she meets her soon-to-be doctor & caretaker Prof. Alberto Levin (Alberto Lupo). Jeanette soon finds herself trapped in Prof. Levin's care for you see Prof. Levin has developed a treatment that can restore the cells and return the skin back to normal - but for how long and at what cost? I found the movie entertaining and interesting although it's not what I would call a really, really good b-rated horror film - it's simply not bad and is fairly interesting.6/10

This movie is a nice little twist to the classic vampire flicks. Its starts off from the get go into the action and the plot of the story. A very beautiful young women lands herself a nasty facial scar from a car accident. Devastated she contemplates suicide and then is mysteriously halted when a girl comes into the room to tell her that she knows of a way to fix her scar and make her beautiful again. Unknown to her the cure she receives may have possible side effects. This is the kinda Thriller/Sci-Fi kinda movie that is just really interesting to watch, the plot has a smooth foundation, and the actors are not bad either. If your a fan of vampires flicks, this movie may be a bit of an adjustment for you, but this is a more than decent flick that im sure many a person would enjoy.This is really a movie you have to have an acquired taste for. It is slow at times, but the plot remains at ease. I would recommend it.

*Spoiler/plot- 1960, Atom Age Vampire, A WW2 nuclear medicine researcher studying cell repairs finds a cure to disfiguring scars. He treats and falls in love with his beautiful blond stripper car crash patient. The doctor starts killing his female lab assistant and any woman in his neighborhood to keep making the cure to supply to his blond patient.*Special Stars- Alberto Lupo leads.*Theme- Science combats nature, sometimes loses.*Based on- Frankenstein and Dr Jeckle & Mr Hyde *Trivia/location/goofs- An Italian Production meant to be French.*Emotion- A strange composite of two legendary horror themes but enjoyable. The film seems to go on a little too long with bad pacing.

I doubt very much if this film will scare you to death watching it, because it is a combination of a mad scientist, a man who turns into a beast and even the title has something to do with Atoms and Dracula.The film starts off with a beautiful blonde stripper having a fight with her boyfriend who is a sailor, he leaves her and she makes a dash to her car and has a very bad accident where her face is scared for life. This blonde girl gives up on life until she meets up with a doctor who claims he can make her face just like it was and remove all old scar tissue. This doctor begins to fall in love with his patient and is willing to go to all extremes to keep her looking young and beautiful. You have probably seen different versions of this film before, and in the year 1960 they tried to scare us to death.
