Entertainment Reviews:
Although it's over-long and has some genuinely silly moments and dialogue, this was a key film from Hammer.

The psychology makes up for the fact that the film is terribly acted (Pitt aside) and cheaply staged.

Rating: 2./4 --
Sheridan Le Fanu's classic 1872 novella Carmilla has served as the basis for numerous vampire flicks, although it's probably safe to state that this blood-and-boob-filled adaptation from Hammer Films boasts the largest fan base.

Reel Film Reviews
Fairly flat dialog doesn't provide much of the unconscious humor that usually gives a lift to this type of entertainment.

Variety
The Vampire Lovers has within it a sense of freedom and transgression in its frank depiction of female desire outside of male control. That the film finally reins in that desire doesn't make it any the less potent.

Rating: 3/4 --
What's remarkable about 'The Vampire Lovers' is not the bite wounds that mark the bare female breasts but the intense romantic yearning and fear of separation and loneliness that mark the character of Carmilla (Ingrid Pitt).

Product Description:
The very life force of a young woman is slowly drained from her each time she makes love to her lesbian lover. Her angry father is understandably upset at her choice of a vampire for a sexual partner. The incomparable Pitt is in fine form in this erotically charged 1970 effort from England's Hammer House of Horror!
