Summary: In nineteenth century middle-Europe, orphaned teenage twins Maria and Frieda go to live with their uncle Gustav Weil, who heads the Brotherhood, a vigilante group trying to stamp out vampirism. But their methods are random and misplaced and the only result is a terrorised populace. The real threat lies with Count Karnstein, and although the twins seem outwardly to be identical, Frieda finds herself much more drawn than her sister to the Count's castle dominating the skyline.

This is what happens when Hammer Films tries to do The Parent Trap.

Last in the Karnstein trilogy this is probably the best plotted and acted but it's by far the least fun and when the 'good guys' (led by puritan witch burner Cushing) seem far worse and murder more innocents than the vampires it's really hard to find a viewpoint I'm happy with. Eventually it does goes some way to evening the score but that doesn't make up for the mostly joyless rest of the film and the distinct lack of sexy lesbianism & revealled nubile flesh that the trilogy is famous for...

Boring.

A bit miserly with the T & A, considering that the main actresses were Playboy Playmates (and twins!). Could've been a tad more liberal with the gore as well. The rest of the movie isn't interesting enough to stand on its own.
