5/10

Lionel Atwill is quite menacing as "Dr. von Niemann" in this horror mystery. Folks from a very superstitious European village start dying - drained of all their blood; and vampirism is their logical conclusion. Melvyn Douglas has a much more sceptical head on his shoulders and decides to investigate further. This is better than the usual gothic mystery; and Fay Wray adds a little glamour to the proceedings too. There are no special effects to giggle at - and no music at all, just a couple of decent performances and an hour of quite an eerily told murder story.
