A company of actors rents a theater without knowing that a terrible vampire weighs on it. After several deaths, the creature of the night will be eliminated... A little-known Italian horror film from the mid-1960s that had no few problems both in terms of production (the film began in 1961 but was only completed in 1964!) and distribution: some lesbian scenes drew the attention of censorship. All in all, a decent horror film that falls within the sexy-vampire genre of the period. The only peculiarity lies in a "new" characteristic that the vampire protagonist of the film possesses: the "bloodsucker" indeed has the peculiarity of being able to bite a prey only if it is still!
