Blood Bath (1966)

"Hey, look at those fangs, they're better than mine."

There are some fairly intelligent reviews for this picture posted here on IMDb. Unfortunately, mine is not one of them. I thought this was a hopeless mess. The flow of the story is disjointed, and considering the title I saw this under, "Track of the Vampire", there's not much vampire activity going on. Apparently, the principal character, artist Antonio Sordi (William Campbell), fancies himself the incarnation of a fifteenth century ancestor named Erno Sordi, who in turn was influenced by a temptress witch named Melizza. Present day Sordi is noted for his series of 'dead-red nudes', models who became his victims in a variety of interesting poses. That's about as much as I could glean from the story, the similarity in appearance among the various women in the picture tended to confuse me, and after a while I just stopped trying to make sense of it. But I persevered to the end because that's my mission here. I watch these things so that in your case, you don't have to.
