In VAMPIRE IN VENICE, Professor Paris Catalano (Christopher Plummer) is obsessed with tracking down the infamous blood-drinker of the title (Klaus Kinski). When Catalano finds a strange family in Venice, who were originally from Transylvania, he believes he's hit pay dirt.
This leads to the backstory being told, while Donald Pleasence makes an appearance.
When a medium is called in, resulting in a seance, the so-called "Prince of Putridity" returns! Death and doom are the result!
Kinski is quite convincing and threatening in his undead role. His interesting facial features have always made him the perfect villain, whether in horror or crime thrillers. He pulls off being pure eeevil with ease! Plummer is doggedly heroic as the Van Helsing-like Catalano.
While not a bad movie, it does tend to drag on interminably in spots...
