After arriving at a large mansion, a vampire tries to restore her legacy of terror with the help of a sacred instrument that will help her walk in the sunlight but her lackey's failure to accomplish the task eventually causes an artifact collector to discover the situation and races to stop it.
This was a pretty enjoyable sleazy vampire effort. What works nicely for this one is the ability to incorporate genuine attempts at genre atmosphere within the inclusion of the sleaze. The concept of the vampire count stalking victims, turning the girls into creatures like him, or the scenes in her dungeon bathing in blood-filled tubs with the anguished cries of victims wailing in the background all give this some intriguing horror elements. As well, the storyline about requiring the stolen Egyptian mummy to be needed for the protection ceremony or the motions of the sacrificial ceremony that will enable her to walk in the sunlight all gives the film enough of a horror atmosphere. There's also the film's cheesy atmosphere mixing this cheesy horror atmosphere with tons of nudity and some silly comedy. The frequency of the performers going topless, whether for lesbian trysts or the casual clothing attire that's worn for the situations, captures an erotic tone that's quite appealing. Given the lighthearted tone present here with the comedy being infused by tons of puns and quips about his inability to properly save her due to the eccentric behavior he has, these features work quite nicely here with the horror elements present to become a solid enough softcore-styled genre effort. That said, there are some minor flaws to be had with this one. Among the main issues here are the lazy or illogical plot-points that are conveniently placed throughout here simply to get the plot moving. Rather than report her roommate missing, she decides to stay quiet painting by herself, and only after it's been a whole day does she invite a friend over while still completely clueless about what happened. As well, the finale feels rushed and like they're trying to hit a specific length rather than anything else making curious use of several tactics to extend the film that isn't logical or normal. These are the few problems that hold this one back.
