“Amando de Ossorio was one of the great directors of Spanish horror, and this film, also known as Malenka, occurs when he was really hitting this stride.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are reportedly three versions of this film, and this one is the best. It is a beautiful print, and we see Swedish star Anita Ekberg (La Dolce Vita, Boccaccio u0026#39;70, Killer Nun) in all her beauty.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a campy film, so there is no nudity or blood here. Despite the buxom women throughout, it is harmless fun.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSometimes a vampire movie is more than blood and nudity. Sometimes, itu0026#39;s just a great way to kill 75 minutes.”
