If you like this film, let us know!
Add to a movie listEl vampiro (English: The Vampire) is a 1957 Mexican horror film, directed by Fernando Méndez. The film is about Marta, a young woman, who travels to her childhood village, only to find that one of her aunts is dead and another is under the influence of Mr. Duval, who later turns out to be a vampire whose name is the Count Karol de Lavud.
It is one of the first movies to show a vampire with elongated canines. Although F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (Max Schrek) had elongated incisors; Tod Browning's Dracula (Bela Lugosi) did not show his teeth at all.
This film can therefore be seen as a link between the Universal and the Hammer presentations of vampires.
Synopsis
Marta revient après des années d'absence dans l'hacienda familiale de la Sierra Negra. Mais c'est un retour bien funeste pour la jeune femme car sa tante bien-aimée est morte, emportée par une mystérieuse maladie. Accablée par le chagrin, Marta est inconsolable, et ne comprend que trop tard, qu'elle est la proie du Comte Duval, un vampire assoiffé de sang.Actors

The plot chronology is set in the 18th century and the probable story location is Germany. Baroness Lilian von Brabant and her lawyer Roger Mont Elise receive an invitation to the Blood Castle, in Sander Valley, where a large inheritance is awaiting the baroness. Both decide to go; the Baroness because of the inheritance and Roger seeing a chance to get more information regarding his birth. Upon arriving at the valley, they meet the monk Fabian with a proclivity for profanities who offers to assist them in finding their way to the castle, the place where, forty years ago, Count Regula had murdered twelve maidens, in an attempt to use their blood to achieve immortality. However he was one maiden short of his goal, and he was drawn, quartered and beheaded for his crime. As he was dying, the Count threatened revenge against those responsible for his death.
