Watch Count Yorga, Vampire For Free

Powerful

A Masterpiece!

Blistering performances.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) *** (out of 4)A seance is being held as Donna (Donna Anders) is trying to communicate with her mother who recently passed away. The ceremony is being hosted by Count Yorga (Robert Quarry) and soon he is taking a part in Donna and her boyfriend Michael's (Michael Macready) lives. It turns out that Count Yorga is actually a vampire and he has set his eyes on Donna.COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE was originally going to be a softcore picture but apparently a decision was made to cut out most of the sex and go for a straight horror film instead. Obviously that was the right thing to do as the film proved to be a giant success at the box office and it even had a sequel made to it. There's no question that there were too many vampire films made throughout the 1970s but this here is one of the better ones.A lot of the credit has to go to Quarry who is simply wonderful in the role. Yes, Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee will always be known as playing the Dracula character the best but there's no doubt that Quarry belongs on the Mount Rushmore of vampires. I really loved his performance here and especially since he's such a gentleman and he has such a laid back approach to everything. Not to mention he looks terrific when he is the vampire and goes for the attack.The support cast are also good in their roles and for the most part the supporting characters are all interesting and likeable. There are some very effective shots scattered throughout the picture including one where a woman goes to lay her head down and by doing so she reveals that the vampire is right there. If I had to say anything bad about the picture it's the fact that the story itself isn't the most original thing out there.COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE is certainly an entertaining horror film and one that didn't have to rely on a bunch of blood or nudity.

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

1970's "Count Yorga" is one of those movies that some how manages to be both cheesy and yet, spooky at the same time. The film opens with a coffin being unloaded from a ship, onto a truck and I think anyone who's seen these types of movies before knows what that means. From there, we meet Donna, her friends, boyfriend, and the mysterious Count Yorga, who possesses great power and knowledge concerning the occult. Eventually, our characters find out that Yorga is no mere mortal, but instead one of the undead. From there it just gets better and better, as our heroes realize they must destroy Yorga before he turns Donna into the undead. The movie has plenty of cheese in it and as such there are scenes where you can't help but burst out laughing. Yet, the movie has a lot going for it as well, like the capable direction and writing of Bob Kelljan, the certain charm that the overall look of the movie has, despite the low budget, and some creepy and disturbing scenes like the woman who, after being bitten by Yorga, decides that eating her cat is a good way to get some iron. But the thing that really makes the movie so good is Robert Quarry's performance as Count Yorga. His presence is so strong that he is able to rise above what ever flaws there are of the film and portrays Yorga as someone who is charming and intelligent, but underneath is something that you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Also, its interesting to see the first vampire movie that was able to successfully update the vampire to a modern setting like Los Angelos. If you love vampires like I do, I highly recommend this movie for your collection. And remember, as the narrator says in the beginning of the movie, "if one is superstitious, even on a small, seemly insignificant level, one must be vulnerable to all superstitions, conceivably even those of vampires".

After the sudden death of her mother a woman , Donna, invites her mother's present boyfriend Count Yorga, to give a séance, in the hope of contacting her. Yorga hypnotises her and soon strange things begin to happen in the area. After some disappearances of friends from the séance, the remaining friends seek the help of their friend Dr Hayes, who soon believes the culprit is a vampire, but logic says it can't be, however the facts say otherwise and they point to Yorga being he culprit. Hayes then tries to outwit the Count to save his friends. Robert Quarry is excellent in the role of Yorga, he portrays just the right air of gravitas and menace required for the role. The film has its cheesy moments, but retains a fine sense of doom and has some gory surprises too, to keep all serious horror fans interested.
