"The Vampire Lovers" is one of three Hammer vampire movies starring Ingrid Pitt (in fact, this appears on a DVD with "Countess Dracula"). In this case, she plays Marcilla, the scion of the Karnstein family. The Karnsteins were rumored to be vampires and a man finally shoved stakes through their hearts. But wouldn't ya know it, Marcilla didn't die! So, she starts lusting after hot young women and drinking their blood. Peter Cushing plays vampire hunter Gen. von Spielsdorf.
For the most part, this movie wasn't much different from other Hammer vampire flicks, but there's an interesting aspect here: I interpreted it as implying that Marcilla was a lesbian, the way she goes after women. But that's just my interpretation. It's not a good or a bad movie, just average.
