Blood Bath (1966)

A rather off-beat vampire yarn, though makes little sense.

An artist (and obviously as this is movie-land he is a crazed and troubled artist) called Sordi (William Campbell) believes that he is the reincarnation of an ancestor who was killed for sorcery and vampirism. 

He kills young women and then disposes of their bodies in acid! His latest girlfriend Dorean (Lori Saunders) is definitely on the list...

This film makes little sense, though the fact it is made up of different films doesn't really help. It also looks pretty odd as the film mixes a Californian surf setting with somewhere suitably Gothic in Eastern Europe. It is also padded out with annoying beatnik characters and some odd dance and performance art scenes.

The film is certainly an... experience.
