VAMPIRES is an exceptionally low budget vampire movie, filmed in 1986. It doesn't make much sense in terms of editing or narrative cohesion. The story is set at a girl's school which hides a very dark secret and the headmistress is involved. If you think this all sounds a bit like SUSPIRIA then you couldn't be further from the truth, because this is very cheap and lacklustre as a result.
The film is most notable for starring a middle-aged Duane Jones, he of the instantly recognisable face from his role as Ben in NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Jones plays in support as an academic who assists our film's youthful heroine in her quest to uncover the truth. Inevitably, he's the best thing about the production. Otherwise, you get incessantly loud music drowning out the scenes, some nudity, an adequately-realised high school setting, and not much in the way of incident. It's a bit of a time waster, if I'm honest.
