The Blood Drinkers (1964) d. Gerardo de Leon (Philippines) (88 min) (1st viewing)
After the suave and smooth-pated Dr. Marco (Ronald Remy) shows up under cover of night at a small village with his small entourage in tow, he installs himself at the local crypt on the outside of town. Seems the not-so-good doctor is of the vampiric stripe, and has arrived with his ailing bride Katrina (Amalia Fuentes) and her mother (Mary Walter) in order to procure the heart of Katrina’s twin sister Charita… literally. Yep, following several blood transfusions courtesy of some involuntary donors, Marco plans to perform a straight-up organ transplant and put his lady love to rights. Needless to say, Charita is not wild about this plan, nor is her boyfriend Victor (Eddie Fernandez), and the two of them fall in with an aged priest who possesses knowledge of how to contend with such supernatural surgeons.
