Love is where you find it., 8 April 2002
Author: Michael O'Keefe from Muskogee OK

A disciple of the famed blood sucker seeks new life extending elixir in a private school for girls. Very entertaining. Great atmosphere. Outstanding performances from David Peel, Martita Hunt and the always impressionable Peter Cushing. Above average vampire flick.
