The Vampire's Coffin - 1958 - 5/10
AKA - El Ataud del Vampiro
Why, why, why would anyone exhume the coffin of a slain vampire?
I suppose if you are a doctor, wanting to experiment on something new.

The photography is superb, in many ways breathtaking.
Deep blacks, imaginative use of shadows.
German Robles, returning as the stylish Count Lavud, is a master of cape flourishing.
Unfortunately the romantic male lead has been rewritten as a skirt chasing lech who has had an IQ lobotomy.
Along with insufferable comic relief.
