Argentinian director León Klimovsky worked as a dentist before becoming a film director; judging from the films of his that I have seen thus far, I reckon he should have stuck with pulling teeth. You would have thought he could at least have been able to rustle up some convincing looking fangs for the bloodsuckers in this unremarkable Euro vampire flick, but he even fails to manage that (only the Countess has fangs, and they look ridiculous).
"Oh well", you might be thinking, "there's always the orgy". Don't get your hopes up though, 'cos the title certainly isn't referring to a heaving mass of nekkidness featuring some top Euro-crumpet: the best this film can offer in terms of nudity is a brief topless scene from blonde babe Dyanik Zurakowska. I can only guess the title was intended to refer to an orgy of violence, but although there is plenty of death in the film, it's also very disappointing, with very little in the way of gore.
Fans of dodgy Euro-horror might get a kick out of the use of a completely incongruous jazzy score, and the sight of a vampire that bears a passing resemblance to camp 70s TV detective Jason King made me giggle a bit, but other than that there is very little about this lame Brigadoon/2000 Maniacs-inspired tosh that would make me recommend it, other than as a possible cure for insomnia.
3.5 out of 10, generously rounded up to 4 for IMDb.
