The mad scientist who killed for fun! Beautiful girls were victims of his evil mind!
I vampiri (1957) follows a journalist investigating a string of blood-drained murders haunting Paris. His search leads to a reclusive countess who uses forbidden science to restore her fading youth at the cost of innocent lives. This pioneering Italian gothic horror blends shadowy atmosphere, early special effects, and macabre science in a tale of vanity, corruption, and the undead.
