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

Miriam Blaylock (Catherine Deneuve) is a beautiful and dangerous immortal vampire, promising specially chosen humans eternal life as her vampire lovers. As the film begins, her vampire companion is John (David Bowie), a talented cellist whom she married in 18th century France. The film opens in a night club in New York, to a live performance from Bauhaus. There they connect with another young couple who are brought home and fed upon by slashing their throats with a bladed Ankh pendant. The bodies are disposed of by an incinerator in the basement of John and Miriam's elegant New York townhouse, where they pose as a wealthy couple who teach classical music. The only student shown is a young tomboy violinist named Alice Cavender (Beth Ehlers).
