Sixties couples Michael and Donna and Paul and Erica become involved with the intense Count Yorga at a Los Angeles séance, the Count having latterly been involved with Erica's just-dead mother. After taking the Count home, Paul and Erica are waylayed, and next day a listless Erica is diagnosed by their doctor as having lost a lot of blood. When she is later found feasting on the family cat the doctor becomes convinced vampirism is at work, and that its focus is Count Yorga and his large isolated house.

Count Yorga, Vampire Audience Reviews

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Benedito Dias Rodrigues In modern era now the Vampire strike in modern city,this time from Bulgaria,a low budge production,but uninteresting altogether,it's very analogous British sexy horror movies from the sixties,despite a bad makeup and costumes,the picture survives till the end,actually the end is a negative point for so negligible final,nevertheless The Robert Quarry made a convincing role as Count Yorga the Vampire!!Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6
christopher-underwood 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.
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Count Yorga, Vampire, 1970. In the sexy 60's, a hip European guy is holding classes in the occult. A pair of sexy girlfriends attract the Count's attention and the jealous boyfriends try to save them from Yorga attentions.*Special Stars- Robert Quarry, Roger Perry, Michael Murphy, Donna Anders, Judy Lang, NARRATOR: George Macready.*Theme- Vampires are deadly as well as sexy to humans.*Trivia/location/goofs- Color. Started as low-budget soft-core porno movie. Count Yorga was supposedly to become an enemy of Vincent Price's character, Dr. Phibes. It was not developed.*Emotion- It's an updated vampire story in modern American with some of the nudity and sex scenes also updated. It's campy and titillating all at the same time. Worth a quick look from viewers.
Woodyanders Robert Quarry gives a suavely sinister and mesmerizing performance as Count Yorga, a smooth, cultured and highly dangerous Bulgarian vampire who's posing as a psychic medium in modern-day 70's Los Angeles, California. Yorga preys on several young ladies and incurs the wrath of their boyfriends, who find that killing Yorga is easier said than done. Directed with real skill and assurance by Robert Kelljan (who also wrote the witty script), with sharp cinematography by Arch Archambault, a steady pace, a lively, shuddery score by Bill Marx, a good deal of tension, and an extremely wild, rousing and gruesome conclusion that comes complete with a surprise downbeat ending, this horror opus puts a really nifty and entertaining contemporary hip spin on the usual bloodsucker premise. This movie further benefits from solid acting from a largely attractive cast: Roger Perry as the concerned, practical Dr. James Hayes, Donna Anderson as the fetching Donna, Michael Macready as Donna's worried, protective boyfriend Michael Thompson, Michael Murphy as the brash Paul, Judy Lang as the alluring, outgoing Erica Landers, Edward Walsh as Yorga's brutish, creepy manservant Brudah, and buxom blonde 60's soft-core cinema starlet Marsha Jordan as one of Yorga's sexy, yet lethal vampire brides. Better still, Kelljan totally pushes the PG rating to the limit: Erica snacks on a cute little kitten in one particularly shocking scene and Yorga's vampire brides all show off a lot of cleavage. George Macready supplies the supremely sonorous narration which bookends the picture. A real fun'n'funky delight.
