𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙚𝙭𝙮 𝙀𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙔𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝘼𝙨 𝙑𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙚 Nicely done vampire tale, an early effort for Roger Corman's New World Pictures, breaks from convention in some ways and gives it a refreshingly different environment in which to play out: the California desert. Super sexy Celeste Yarnall is the enigmatic Diane, a desert dweller who invites young couple Lee (Michael Blodgett, "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls") and Susan (Sherry Miles, 'Hee Haw') to her isolated mansion.  At first, this looks to be another of the "erotic vampire" movies that were so popular in the 1970's, especially in Europe. But this American movie is actually quite different from Hammer's "Carnstein trilogy", the Rollins and Franco vampire films, and other European cult classics like "Vampyres" and "Daughters of Darkness". It doesn't really have the lesbian vampire angle that was often the bane of many of the European films. It's more of a love triangle with a free-spirited hippie couple (Michael Blodgett and Sherry Miles) finding their swinging lifestyle tested by a mysterious and very seductive woman (Celeste Yanell).
