A mad doctor from Central Europe kills several people to obtain fresh blood to administer to a synthetic organism of his creation, while the superstitious populace, manipulated by him through collective hypnosis, blames a horde of vampire tiles... Classic vampire horror film from the 1930s. The film in question, directed by Stayer, is very slow and has nothing interesting, so it is preferable to skip it and look elsewhere.
