The Vampires' Night Orgy (1973)

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The biggest hook for this movie is the opportunity to see Dyanik Zurakowska.Directed by León Klimovsky, who did two of Paul Naschy's werewolf films, the film includes many horror veterans in the cast.Now, if you tourist bus breaks down, and the town where you are stranded offers to put you up for free, and gives you spending money to boot, you might do well to head out on your feet very fast. While you are enjoying your meal, others are planning to have a feast later on.There were a few funny spots - the finger, for one. The ending was baffling and totally unsatisfying.

When it come to these 1960's and 70's Euro horror films where a busload of tourists wind up stranded in a creepy Gothic setting, I am usually right along for the ride. However, this incoherent sleazefest is a blurry confusing mess. There are so many events that happen without any rhyme or reason - and characters who appear and then disappear without any explanation. This particular group of tourists are arriving to some town or estate, each to do a different job (a tutor, a groundskeeper etc...). While en route, the bus driver inexplicably has some sort of attack and drops dead behind the wheel, leaving the tourists to drive the bus, with his dead body on board, to the next closest town. None of the passengers seem too disturbed by the events, save for one pretty lady who asks a fellow passenger for a cigarette to calm her nerves.Anyway, they wind up at a town where the vampire residents mysteriously all disappear sometimes at night and sometimes during the day. But they mostly only attack at night. There is also a ghost boy who appears and disappears, to only a young girl, who may or may not be a vampire himself. The town is run by "The Countess" played by one of my favorite Euro- horror actresses, Helga Line. But even she cannot save this film with her very few on screen appearances. Helga is not the icy vixen in this movie that we have come to love in so many cult classics (Horror Rises From The Tomb, Nightmare Castle, Blancheville Monster etc...). Her hair is softer, her makeup is softer, and her usual subtle yet powerful facial expressions are replaced by boring, typical, uninspired vampire hissing and grinning. Add to all this some pretty bad acting, terrible dubbing, sloppy edits, and an atrocious soundtrack that sounds more like it was made for one of those goofy British 60's sex-comedies than a Gothic horror film - mix them all together and you have the sloppy "Vampires Night Orgy". I can only recommend this to extremist fans of Euro-horror - but there are many, many better films that you could and should watch before this one.

"Vampires' Night Orgy" is about a group of travellers who find themselves in a village inhabited by bloodthirsty vampires.The decaying and highly atmospheric village is called Tolnia.Everything seems to be black,grey or brown-filled with morbid aura death and gloom.Jack Taylor makes for a reliably sleazy leading man while Dyanik Zurakowska and Helga Liné are both strikingly hot.Some of the scenes where the villagers seem to emerge from the cracks in the walls to slowly engulf their victims evoke memories of the "Blind Dead" series.The only drawback is the jazzy background music which is very annoying.Overall,if you are a fan of 70's Eurohorror give this stylish entertainer a look.7 orgies out of 10.

okay, i watched this on youtube for free, thank god, because if i had paid even a dime for this, i would have been very upset. simply terrible. yeah, i know about the early '70's, low-budget, eurocrap and all that but, i mean, this was just awful. and not in a good way either. bunch of people on a bus get stranded in a village where it looked like world war two had just ended last week. of course there is something weird going on. the first guy that gets it looks kind of like charles bronson. he was tough looking and he caves when a bunch of townspeople surround him. i mean, they were old ladies and stuff. he didn't even try to defend himself. the music was entirely inappropriate, all jazzy and stuff. the "countess" who ran the whole operation was hotter than hot. the whole village is in thrall to her because...big surprise...they are all vampires or cannibals or something. she is the only one with fangs which looked like they were going to come flying out any second, ha. she throws them a "bone" once in a while and they attack a hapless victim who shows up fifteen minutes later without a mark on them. there is one American guy in town whose car crapped out on him and he immediately puts the moves on the skinny blonde chick. he is the only one who senses some weird evilness going on and makes plans to blow town, taking blondie with him. there is a ridiculously bad "escape" scene with everyone in town, it looked like, hanging on his car, rocking it back and forth and so on. they escape and tell the cops in the next town who insist there is no town where they say it is. the cops take them there and sure enough, the town has vanished. end of story. oh yeah, there was no orgy.
