Certainly one of the most underappreciated, neglected films in the Hammer Studios collection. It was made towards the end of the studio's reign, after Hammer lost the lucrative co-production support from Hollywood. In fact, only a handful of films were produced by the studio in the mid-to-late '70s and - due to crippled distribution - none of them were successful. In 1979, Hammer made a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1938 thriller The Lady Vanishes (starring Elliott Gould and Cybill Shepherd). It's failure put a halt on further projects. Hammer Studios remained dormant for the next three decades until it was finally sold to a Dutch company Cyrte Productions in 2007.

In a small village in the remote English countryside, several young women have been found dead - their faces horribly aged beyond recognition. Suspecting a supernatural evil at work, the local doctor calls on an Army friend (and famed vampire hunter) Captain Kronos. Aided by his assistant Professor Grost and a beautiful witch named Carla (an early role for the stunning Caroline Munro), the three quickly confirm the murders are the work of a unique type of vampire that drains the victim of both blood and youth.

Brian Clemens was an old-school filmmaker who had done much British television (including as writer and director for many of the Avengers episodes in 1969). He was scripter, producer and director for this film as well as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad in 1974. He would later vacillate between TV and cinema but mostly found success with television, the New Avengers (1976-78, the Remington Steele series (1982-87) and various made-for-TV Perry Mason movies in the '90s. Mr Clemens died in January 2015 at age 83.
