It is, of course, slightly better known as Deathdream and I singularly failed to ever come across a copy in my subsequent years of film obsession.

Well, today, perhaps 30 years after I first heard of it, I finally saw it for the first time.

Wow. Wow.

Was that ever worth the wait! One of the very finest and most intelligent vampire films I have ever encountered.

Wow.

You mean the Bob Clark film? It's brilliant isn't it - I found it emotionaly quite wrenching, if that doesn't sound too over the top.
