London 19th century: a mad scientist transforms a butterfly into a kind of girl-vampire. A policeman, alarmed by the disappearance of many people, directs his investigations to the house of the scholar, engaged in new terrifying experiments. The vampire will kill her creator and die in the flames. Peter Cushing and Robert Flemyng in a fantasy-horror produced by Hammer. It's the usual mad-doctor story with some original and funny points (see the butterfly-vampire character), but nothing more. Decent.
