In nineteenth century middle-Europe, orphaned teenage twins Maria and Frieda go to live with their uncle Gustav Weil, who heads the Brotherhood, a vigilante group trying to stamp out vampirism.

The real threat lies with Count Karnstein, and although the twins seem outwardly to be identical, Frieda finds herself much more drawn than her sister to the Count's castle dominating the skyline.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

John Hough has given Tudor Gates' script a good pace and directed so that audiences can take it as straight horror or as a slight send-up.
