Sex and the Single Vampire (1970)
** (out of 4)
A group of horny swingers want to "make it" at a haunted place so they go into this old house not knowing that Count Spatula (John Holmes) is there.
SEX AND THE SINGLE VAMPIRE is a rather strange film that's not hardcore yet it's a little rougher than softcore or what you'd typically expect someone like Something Weird Video to release. SWV did release a softer version that ran just twenty-seven minutes but I'm reviewing the full 55-minute version.
Basically, as you'd expect, there's no real story to speak of. For the entire running time we see the various swingers messing around with one another but there's no actual penetration. I said this film was a bit rougher than your typical softcore picture and that's because we get a lot of close up action of male and female frontal nudity. We get really up close shots of the women's private areas and so much more details than what you'd get in a softcore picture. There's also a lot of kissing and touching "around" the parts but never actually on the parts.
The main draw to the picture will be Holmes who I must admit was rather funny as the Count. I really liked him in the earlier scenes where he's freaking out over the lack of blood in the house. The majority of the middle section has him just peeping in on people but he does get a chance to play a second character as well. The rest of the men and women are decent enough in their parts but for the most part this here didn't require acting.
