This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Surprisingly enjoyable, helped enormously by splendid central performance from Robert Quarry as Cont Yorga. Unconventional but convincing and helped by the fact that almost until the end, everyone is still very sceptical, even when we have seen the ladies on the slabs. The sexy ladies help, as does the whole late 60s/early 70s low budget but earnest and well dressed film making. I thought this began to slow just before the final denouement but with the ladies in full flight and gore to the fore the lapse was soon forgotten and if the final frame was rather predictable it was nevertheless appreciated. Unusual non use of music in several key scenes seemed to add some mystery as did the whole seance ritual/ 'do you believe in Vampires?' naiveté vibe, allowing us to make our own way rather than slavishly follow the hero. Of course, the baddie is often the 'hero' in the world of horror anyway.

It's good to see Count Yorga again after years of no see. It's a better film than I remembered it to be. A GOOD Vampire film - fun to watch.Count Yorga is playing a spirit medium to help a girl speak to her recently deceased mother. She brings a group of her friends to help with and to be witness at the séance Count Yorga is conducting. What they don't know but will find out the Count is a good hypnotist and eventually suspect him of being a real Vampire! This one I would recommend to fans of horror and Vampires. It's a makes for a great late night film. It's got enough eeriness and jump scares strategically placed to have you leery of the shadows on your walls.9/10

Personally I found Count Yorga, Vampire a breath of fresh air. For one thing it actually makes vampires creepy and disconcerting again. And if you disagree, fine, but just think about my little cat reference in the summary.Robert Quarry was at one time being groomed by American International Pictures to replace the Merchant Of Menace himself, Vincent Price. And it's clear from this movie why they thought so highly of him. Quarry makes a terrific vampire Count, capable of a charming urbanity that Hammer Films rarely allowed Christopher Lee to display; and fully portraying the demonic fury bit that Lee was so good at. For me this is a much better film than Hammer's Scars of Dracula and The Vampire Lovers from the same year, and I say that as a Hammer fan! The movie does have some flaws, of course. Not all the actors are good and Yorga's comedy servant could have done with a, er, revamp. The photography, especially at night, is a little on the murky side. Perhaps this was just the print I saw.And of course in a way, the vampires win. Which must be a first. This is a good little low budget horror movie that deserves to be better known.

Dracula for the swinging sixties sub-culture, with the dapper Robert Quarry ideally cast as the charming, articulate Count Yorga, a man of culture, who conducts a séance on behalf of the daughter of his former lover which sparks a series of shocking events to unfold. When local GP (Perry) is informed of the mysterious Count Yorga, he begins to suspect there may in fact be a live vampire at large - convincing the authorities proves impossible and so he and Michael MacReady elect to go it alone and reveal the Count's sinister origins. But they must contend with his faithful servant Bruder (Walsh) and a bevy of buxom undead vixens with insatiable appetites.Neoclassic vampire picture brings the Count Dracula character into the modern-day world with witty dialogue, moody atmosphere and convincing performances. Judith Lang (better known as the mother of daytime soap opera queen Katherine Kelly Lang) plays a rabid undead with a taste for kittens, while Michael Murphy has a minor supporting role as Lang's concerned boyfriend. Quarry is a standout and Kelljan's economical direction keeps the pace tight and the action/suspense fluent throughout.Perry looks comfortable in his role and both he and Quarry essentially reprise their roles in the quickly made sequel "Return of Count Yorga" made the following year. A few revealing negligees, some over-enthusiastic love bites and a half masticated cat is all you find to offend in this stylish cult horror film, dated but very entertaining.
