Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter
No offence to Horst Janson, who of course I imagine follows me, but for
me, he does not have the physique du role of the charming and fearless
hero. Apart from this flaw, we find here Caroline Munro, who, on the
other hand, has everything that the beautiful and intelligent hero
should have and even delights us in a sexy scene. A rarity in her
career. The film itself also has everything needed for interesting
entertainment. Actually, it has even more, because we have a mixture of
adventure and vampires, which is not bad at all.
Hammer, now almost in its twilight years, tries to turn the tables and
the proposal is original although perhaps less mischievous than in the
past. In fact, this film directed by Brian Clemens, better known as an
author than as a director (in fact, this is the only film he directs)
was supposed to open a new strand that in fact never came to fruition.
What a pity.
Also because in addition to the new story, as always, the British
production company takes care of the details with maniacal elegance,
creating a very enjoyable setting.
With a K on his cape, so much so that some mistake him for a king,
Captain Kronos goes to help Dr. Marcus, because strange things happen
in the latter's village. Like young girls who find themselves suddenly
aged. Kronos with his hunchbacked helper Hieronymus Grost (John Cater)
finds Carla (Caroline Munro) on the road, a beautiful girl condemned to
the stocks for dancing on a Saturday. They free her, she joins them,
helps them in their mission and becomes Kronos's lover. Apart from
that, the vampire in this film is one who sucks the lifeblood, the
youth, out of his victims. It is up to the three to defeat him and
discover the true identity behind this mystery.
