After many years since I've seen it, I at last caught this classic
western vampire thriller on AMC the other morning. Eric Fleming is as
resourceful as I remember as the vampire-killing preacher, and Drago
the gunfighter vampire is neatly creepy and mildly sympathetic as
well, surprisingly. The camera work using shadows is outstanding and
some of the best I've ever seen in any movie. They get a lot of bang
for their buck with that relatively simple effect. The denoument is a
little underwhelming after the good build up, but overall the flick
holds up quite well. There is a clean and spare look to this B&W
flick that gives it an oddly effective mood.
