"The descendant of Elizabeth Bathory is abducted by a cult of blood-drinking, self-proclaimed supermen who want her to join them."We review the 1979 "Ozploitation" film, Thirst. Another 1979 Vampire offering and THIS time it's not DRACULA! WHO KNEW? This movie is worth a watch even if it's just for the vampire street cred. We didn't hate it but I'm sure in 1979 we would have loved it. (See our rant about survivorship bias)There's more from the Strange and Beautiful Network!Listen to Rachel,

Werner Herzog's 1979 remake of the original silent film classic, Nosferatu.

The second of 8 vampire movies released in 1979 which I'm going to tentatively call the "year of the disco vampire".

2023/11/10

The first in our Anniversary exploration of the vampire movies of 1979 (all 8 of them). First up is the 1979 adaptation of the Dracula theater play staring Frank Langella. Which we loved, obviously. Sexy, romantic, gothic, horrorific, and just the right about of campy silliness (unintended).
