It's An OK Vampire Film
Crypt of the Living Dead AKA Hannah, Queen of the Vampires (1973)
The copy I have seen of this film was in black & white and honestly I could not imagine seeing this in color. As someone said the B&W really added a Gothic touch this film was missing. I found it enhanced the film.
The editing is pretty sloppy at times but the story is kinda good. It's a very slow moving story that starts out more as a drama than horror really but the ending does turn into a horror show.
Others have mentioned that Hannah moves slow - that she does. How is her moving slow any different than Dracula or even Michael Myers? She's a vampire that can transform into mist and wolf form - she doesn't have to travel fast on foot. Add more mystery to her moving slowly.
It's not the world's greatest vampire film - but it's not all that bad either. I enjoyed it.
6/10
