Huh. This is about as good/bad as COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE (1970). Yorga's back and it's a by the numbers sequel to a by the numbers vampire film. Mariette Hartley is a nice addition although it doesn't seem like she's given nearly enough to do. The same thing can be said about Quarry as Yorga. He's great. I love his dialogue and matter of fact line delivery but he needs a lot more screen time. There are some funny bits and most of them deal with the disbelieving detectives. It's not a bad picture, it's just that there's not much there to hold my attention. What sense of fun it has is scattered in very small doses throughout 97 minutes but it's not enough. And like the first one, there's very little gore and no nudity. It's vampire-lite.
